Damages: Season 2
Seven Emmy nominations for this season of the award-winning show!
After her unprecedented victory over billionaire Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson), Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) has the legal world at her feet. Just as she's pondering her next move, Daniel Purcell (William Hurt), a man from Patty's mysterious past, storms back into her life, catapulting Patty into a new legal challenge. What starts as a domestic murder case, escalates into the highest reaches of government as Patty unearths a vast conspiracy. At the same time, Ellen (Rose Byrne) is on a mission to take down Patty. She's agreed to act as an informant for the FBI, assisting them in their criminal investigation of Patty and the firm. As Patty unravels the mystery surrounding Daniel Purcell, she must also negotiate the perilous minefield both inside and outside her office.

Wonderful show - Scotfan05
Once again, great acting from all the cast. As I did for the first season, once I started to watch the disk, I couldn't stop until it was finished because I wanted to see if Ellen really shot Patty Hewes. Ellen has become as nasty as her boss. I can't wait to see what Season three brings in the battle between these women.
This was a more complicated story with many characters, all of them seem to be scheming with someone, and it was hard to know who was aligned with who. Definitely worth watching.This is good TV - Sheenie
Lots of twists and turns, suspense - the "good guys" and "bad guys" switch roles constantly so you never know which is which. It's rare for me to be so hooked on a TV show, but this is definitely one to watch. Glenn Close is absolutely fantastic - definitely worth checking out!Not as good as the first season - eli_quincy
The first season of Damages was habit-forming fun, 10 episodes that you couldn't help but blow through in mini-marathons. The second season suffers from a duller plot and some really repetitive storytelling. The year's eventual conclusion is hinted at constantly through flashforwards that unravel at a snail's pace. That combined with a less compelling plot makes for an inferior season of an entertaining show.
