Damages

[NV Whino]

Someone in the group recommended this. I watched the entire first season within two days. I love Glenn Close. What a great role foe her. And Ted Danson, whom I've always considered a lightweight, is amazing. On to season 2 later today.

1. Excellent show.

Although if there's a lightweight, it's the actress who plays Ellen. I never took her seriously. Definitely worth an online watch.

3. I agree about Ellen

But in season two they brought in Marcia Gay Hardin and William Hurt. That kinda made up for it. I'm on episode 10 right now. Gonna finish it tonight.

2. Like you, I tore through Seasons 1 and 2 when you could watch them on Hulu.

Disappointed that Seasons 3 and 4 are ONLY available for purchase (iTunes or Amazon.) Hoping they might show up on Netflix aomeday.

6. Saw episode one of the first season last night and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Great show - amazing characters, particularly Glenn Close.

Now I have to get my husband to watch it so we can continue to watch the rest together.

Thanks so much for the recommendation!
