DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

If you watched Season One, then Two must be watched. One cannot completely understand One, without watching Two. I’ve watched several of these episodes two and threes times, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. That is the thing about Damages, because of the moving forward and backward through time, it’s easy to miss an important item, causing one to not be able to connect the dots. However, that is the benefit of picking up the DVDs.
Season Two is much better than Season One, however, one cannot be understood without the other. The only thing that is difficult is that it seems like the writers tried to squish more of the story into Season Two, and this is evident at the end of the season’s episodes, where much takes place during the last few episodes, in what appears to be a larger span of time.
And then there is the ending! Very much filled with suspense, and after the first viewing, one will say, What just happened and want to watch it over and over. You’ll be left wondering who just won here. And never forget the theme of Damages, Trust No One!

Season 2 of “Damages” picks up right where Season 1 left off, with fallout from the Frobisher case lingering. In season 2, a new case is introduced involving an energy corporation and its nefarious CEO, played smashingly well by John Doman. William Hurt, Marcia Gay Harden and Timothy Olyphant join the cast.
In season 2, the show is still excellent, but the plot is somewhat more convoluted that it was in season 1. While convolution, in my book, generally adds a welcome layer of depth, mystery and complexity to a show, in this instance it brought some confusion with it, particularly with regard to a character named Dave Pell who’s trying to get Patty Hewes’ husband Phil Grey to become energy commissioner. Since I watched the show on DVD, I didn’t have much down time between episodes, so confusion was minimized. If I’d spaced out the viewing, however, I might have gotten lost. So, when you’re watching, pay attention to Dave Pell and how’s he’s involved.
Although Ted Danson is in season 2, he’s not what I would consider to be a main character and he is sorely missed. The seeds of Arthur Frobisher’s continued presence in the show are, however, planted in season 2 as he seeks clarity and attempts to build a new business.
