Absolute power corrupts, and in the case of Damages, the critically-acclaimed series, much drama certainly ensues in this legal thriller. Since its debut season, critics have loved the chronicling of the turbulent lives of the show’s protagonists, which include Glenn Close as a brilliant and ruthless lawyer and Rose Byrne starring as her protégée. Damages was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards, and its actors and writers were all nominated for their superb efforts at capturing the fast-paced life in New York’s litigation scene. In this second season, Glenn Close’s lead role, Patty Hewes, finally closes a settlement involving one of the wealthiest CEO’s in the United States. But a new chapter of even more challenging and exciting cases awaits her, and she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
