Damages - Tremendous Show On Cable TV

Addiction can be a terrible thing. It becomes a problem which leaves you craving more. That is what it is like with Damages and star Glenn Close's Emmy winning main character. The writers, Daniel Zelma and brothers Glenn and Todd Kessler, Željko Ivanek, Ted Danson, and Rose Byrne all have received various nominations.

Glenn Close stars as Patty Hewes, a high stakes litigator with the law firm Hewes and Associates. Whether loved or loathed, Close plays her role with a brilliant relish. Along comes Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne) who is a bright-eyed young graduate, sought after by other firms, but wants to work with Patty Hewes. While their personalities are disparate, they agree that they'll never be controlled by anyone else. Several incredible performances are given as the characters progress through the story.

The creators of Damages use innovative techniques to intersperse past events, the present, and the future in a unique presentation that just simply works. If you miss even a minute of this show, you are likely to miss a key plot development. Attention is a prerequisite for keeping up with Damages' complicated plot. You need to keep your eyes peeled at all times. Closely observe the neck of Saffron's shirt at the same time Ray Fiske does in the first episode, for example. Characters come and go and you are expected to remember them. Also, be ready to lose at least one of your favorite characters. From show to show you'll never know who will make it to next week. The initial season is thirteen episodes although it is unlikely that all characters will return for a second unless it is via a flashback.

Now, I ask will my addiction continue? Is it possible for the show's creators to continue to generate such enjoyable material? Will there be further plot twists, enough for yet one or two more seasons with sufficient mystery? We can only hope! If you love Damages like I do, make sure you tune in every week so we can keep this tremendous show on the air and going strong for years to come.

One thing I suggest, if possible, invest in a Hi-Def TV to get the full Damages' experience. A great lineup of digital and High Definition channels are offered by my local cable provider Comcast Cable. HD has changed my whole viewing experience. I can't believe how much I was missing. But HDTV isn't all. Comcast provides outstanding Digital Voice and High-Speed Internet service as well. This service is much faster than my old one and I can look up my favorite shows while downloading all I want at lightning fast speed. Plus, with Comcast Digital Voice I can make crystal clear calls nationwide with out paying long distance charges. The Comcast HD Triple Play bundle allows me to subscribe to all three excellent services by paying a single monthly flat rate. I found the best promotion online. For all your entertainment and communications needs I suggest Comcast Cable if its available in your area.
