Damages: Wicked, Crackling Dialogue, Intriguing Plots

Wickedly Plotty
This is one riveting series if you like investigative plot lines amidst witty dialogue.

Riding on the American legal system of pleading and negotiation, this tv  series is explosive and can be violent with its unnecessary deaths laced with corruption in high places including the police force.

So, what is new?

While the series was great up to the third season, it seems to have run out of steam beginning the fourth season. I am not sure whether this hiatus will reflect that the series has plateau off in terms of suspense and plot-lines but I hope they can resume in its  great plot lines to sustain audience interest.

Sly and can outdo Patty

To me, Glen Close as Patty Hewes  is one tough cookie though contrived at best. As for Rose Byrne as Ellen, this waif-like beauty is adorable. She looks so much like Audrey Hepburn in the way she turns her head but she certainly ooze more sex appeal.

Will write some more after I finish off both the fourth and fifth seasons.

For now, it has been a great time watching Damages.
