Wow! FX has done it again! I didn't think they could come back with another show as great as The Shield, but they did it. Damages is compelling TV at its best, with enough twists and turns to satisfy the most heavy adrenaline junkie. It's not for the faint of heart, as it contains some scenes that rival The Shield for shock value. Glenn Close once again shines as a manipulative lawyer with questionable ethics who will do anything to win, Ted Danson is at his best as a sleazy corrupt CEO who bilks his employees out of their pension plans, Zeljko Ivanek (previously the DA on Homicide: Life on the Street) is terrific as Danson's under the gun attorney, and the new newcomers/unknowns in the rest of the cast are outstanding. FX has done another water-cooler discussion show to rival those on HBO. I promise, you'll never be bored. If you like mystery, drama, who-dun-its, and mesmerizing serial shows, this one is for you!
