It demands commitment and a willingness to pay attention to the smallest bits of information, but it's also riveting. Once you decide to go take this case, you won't want to turn back.

By refueling with the Madoffs, the show’s writers have brought a titillating jolt to the show’s by-now-established riffling of silvery, half-concealed trauma flashbacks. Even if, in the end, it’s nothing more than highly lacquered candy, it’s tasty stuff.

Close’s burnished enigma characterization works beautifully because Damages, which will spend its 13-episode season detailing the six months that led to the opening shots of a blood-covered Ellen escaping a murder scene, is more a well-oiled genre exercise than the stuff of rigorous personality study.

The poisoned relationship of attorneys Ellen Parsons and Patty Hewes has gone slack. But The supporting cast is superb. [8 Aug 2011, p.40]

The show's trademark time shifts continue, although it's initially unclear if they're connected to the season one story that carries over or to the season two plot.

By far the dumber and hammier of the two shows ["Saving Grace" is the other].

Certes, deux bonnes actrices, c'est déjà chouette en soi mais ça ne suffit pas (hélas) pour faire une bonne série...! Il faut en effet bien autre chose pour maintenir l'intérêt que du blabla soporifique d'avocates, mollement emballé dans une vague ambiance comploteuse lénifiante. Malgré bien sûr un rebondissement puis le retour en arrière initial (et syndical) qui jouent le rôle de la carotte pour avancer... Mais devant tant d'impéritie et de néant dans l'écriture de cette série policière à dormir debout, je fais comme l'âne : je refuse d'avancer ! j'appuie sur stop et je zappe bien avant la fin de la première saison (et dire qu'ils en ont commis 4 autres, putain !).
