Product Description

Amazon.com

Smart, sleek, and more than a little wicked, the Golden Globe-winning series Damages proves that legal programs don't have to follow a well-worn formula in order to prove completely addictive. In fact, the show (from Todd and Glenn Kessler and Daniel Zelman, whose credits include The Sopranos) steers clear from nearly all courtroom drama clichés over the course of its 13 episodes, and hews closer to classic film noir with the slowly-spun web of deceit that is woven around fresh-scrubbed lawyer Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne). After joining the legal firm headed by uber-powerful litigator Patty Hewes (Glenn Close, who won a Golden Globe for her performance), Parsons lands a career-making case--a class-action lawsuit against millionaire Arthur Frobisher (Golden Globe nominee Ted Danson)--but discovers that digging deeply into the case not only reveals layers of corruption, cover-up, and potential scandal, but places her own life in jeopardy as well. Smart, mature writing and note-perfect performances, most notably by Danson as the perverse and complex Frobisher, but also by Tate Donovan, Zeliko Ivanek, Peter Facinelli, Philip Bosco and Peter Reigert, make Damages a genuine pleasure for law and mystery show fans, but also those craving a challenging series that delivers water cooler chat material in every episode. The three-disc set includes all 13 episodes as well as deleted scenes; among the featured extras are two choice commentaries, one with Close, the Kesslers and Zelman, and the other with Ivanek and the creators, both of which are chock-full of production and technical insights. A 30-minute making-of featurette, discussions about the characters by the creators, and a guide to class-action lawsuits rounds out the fine supplemental features. --Paul Gaita

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Addictive!, April 29 2010
This review is from: Damages: Season 1 (DVD)
Damages is nothing short of completely addictive. Glenn Close is incredible - you respect, admire, and hate her character all at once. Damages is about a very ambitious young lawyer, Ellen Parsons, who just finished her first year, who lands a job with the top high powered lawyer in the city, Patty Hewes. Patty is notoriously difficult because of her exacting standards and complete ruthlessness in winning her case - which she always does. Ellen becomes embroiled in a mystery as she tries to uncover the truth about Patty's latest case, and we learn bit by bit what happens both to her and with the case. it's incredibly entertaining, and as a recent law school graduate, I can tell you, it's also good on the law side of things.

If you buy this, be warned: you will stay up all night watching it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, very addictive, Nov 25 2008
This review is from: Damages: Season 1 (DVD)
This is an excellent series that is great to watch on DVD as you can watch episode after episode and that is exactly what you will want to do when you pop the first DVD in. I watched it over 3 days (13 episodes, each about 45 minutes in length) and could not wait to see what happens. Glenn Close does an excellent job and her character Patty Hewes is one of the most interesting female characters I have seen on video in some time. Great supporting cast. I hear they are filming a second season and I can't wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars No English Subtitles, July 10 2008
By

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Damages: Season 1 (DVD)
An excellent series. Characters are complex and memorable. The narrative, while grounded in the seamingly mundane (a lawsuit by a failed company's former employees), is epic in scope.

Having said that, I be aware that subtitles only come in French. (It's in the product description, but I falsely assumed English subtitles would be a given in such a new DVD set.)

5 stars for people with no or limited hearing impairments.
