Damages Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
It was so fake! Someone tried to kill the attorney, the main character, and she doesn’t go to the police?! ? instead she runs to her fiancée’s place with bloody clothes on the st. on a daylight without getting caught. Then her fiancé was killed and she still doesn’t call the police and run around the city again. Finally, police caught her and tells her “we know that you didn’t kill your fiancé”. Then the boss gets the charges dropped just talking to thenjudge!!! The boss is using her power to intimidate her employees and the employees are trying to impress her even though she fires them. Just too far away from real life!

I’ve really enjoyed this show! It’s a great drama with memorable and distinct characters, and you are always trying to guess whose side they are on and how they will respond to the current crisis.
This is one of the only shows I have seen where there is no clear antogonist. You see into the personal lives of every character which makes they all seem human and gives reason for their actions. But on the other hand, they all lie and manipulate others…with varying degrees of fineness and collateral damage.
The story is about a single big court case, and so in that regard it is fairly sequential show; you’ll miss out if you start half way through. But like most shows of this nature, each episode contains sub-plots which usually come to a conclusion at the end, so it doesn’t always end with cliffhangers every time. *cough*twentyfour*cough*
If you are a fan of legal shows, or suspenseful drama, you will definitely like this show.

While the show rarely goes into the courtroom, or really covers anything in any legal depth, it is an entertaining set of series that includes some great drama.
The show is slightly unusual in that two ends of a story unwind at the same time: you are given glimpses of the ending episode every week, with the main story providing the lead up to it. This works well.
Having watched most series now, they were all good in their own ways, although the first was the best to me. In series one I liked Ted Danson a lot and his involvement really helped make the show. Glen Close played her character almost too well, and Rose Byrne starts season one strongly. Tate Donovan was great too.
Worth a watch. I don’t want to write any detail because it would all be spoilers.
