Your in for a treat. Plenty of "Oh Shit Moments." Season 1 starts off kind of slow, but be patient because the last 5-6 episodes are excellent TV.

Re: Damages -- Season 2 Premiere -- "I Lied, Too" -- 1/7/09
I just watched the finale that I recorded on FX and I forgot most of this stuff. I LOVE how the show had tons of roles played by high quality actors (Garret Dillahunt, Hoon from Animal House) in random roles. Plus I liked how nothing in the show was throw away, evrything was connected. Season 2 should be good but Im weary with Ivanko returning, seems gimmicky after his award. I read Rose is in therapy cause of her fiances death, but shes dating Olyphant... thatll get ya over it

William Hurt
Although, I am still contemplating whether or not to wait until the season is over to watch it in one weekend.
I gave up on the first season during original airings after two episodes because I did not like waiting and gobbled up the entire season in two days a few months after it was over.
Catch-22. Either wait is going to kill me.
I will say, though, that I hope Marcia Gay Harden doesn't grate my nerves too much. She has been doing that lately.

I recorded a 10-minute S1 recap off F/X a few nights ago. My mind is a complete blank as to how S1 ended. I just remember it being one of the best dramas on tv last year.
at that F/X promo above.

I'm with you. I rented S1 from Netflix and blew through it. Thing was with the Blu-ray version, you really had no idea how many episodes were on each disc until you ran out because the menus are the same on each (if the next episode is on the next disc it says "Please insert disc X"). And THAT drove me bonkers having to wait for the next disc (2-3 days). Having to wait a week for each new installment has the potential of being AGONIZING. Plus I can only watch it in SD.

Season 1 recap part 1= http://vod.fxnetworks.com/fod/play.php?sh=damages
Part 2 is below it.
This really helped me get caught up with where everything left off because I haven't watched it since the season finale of season 1 aired.

Can't wait, this show has been gone for way too long... I've already watched season 1 twice on blu-ray since I got it, so I'm pretty psyched for more, hopefully it can live up to the bar that season 1 set.

Looking forward to this as well. Got to get that Blu-Ray set...I am all caught up though, thanks to FX re-running the whole season not to long ago and now it is in HD! Thanks Cablevision!

If your a fan of the show, I think it would be silly to wait an extra 4-6 months for the DVD or Blu Ray. I mean Good Christ this show has been off the air for over 15 months!!

Solid debut, a nice mix of setting up the season and recapping the last one. It's weird that I actually feel invested in the characters in this show even though they're all pretty much badguys in their own way. A bit predictable and some hammy bits but overall it looks to be a solid season.
Hate having to wait between episodes.
Hope this show gains some ratings this year.

"There are a lot of clowns under the big top...
Good luck at Yale!"
Patty and son ruining Arsenault's bid for governor with the daughter's coke bust -- classic Patty Hewes.
Knew the creators weren't going to top the Pilot ep, but agree this was a solid setup. Danson was terrific as bedridden Frobisher.
Another note for late nite west coast viewers: Rose Byrne will be on Letterman.

Excellent premiere episode. 15 months was a long time to wait, but I think this show is well worth the wait considering how heavily each episode relies on plot, character and dialogue. Surprised to see that it was commerical free as well.
I really like the intrigue surrounding the flash forward with Ellen and the mystery person.
I think Rose Byrne is absolutely riveting as Ellen. She has a really sweet innocence to her as well as a cold and dark interior.
Close was once again solid as Patty.
Really looking forward to the next 12 weeks.

That was great.
Solid S2 debut. Amazing cast. I was wondering if they would approach this season like they did the last one with the time jumps.
And I always love seeing Paige Turco.

Fantastic season premiere with an amazing cast....
I love the new additions to the show....
Two Oscar winners William Hurt & Marcia Gay Harden plus Timothy Olyphant....
The Ray Fiske cameo was great & it's good to see Mario Van Peebles on TV....
Especially when it's on something like this,better than direct to dvd....

Yeah great start to the season!
Is Rose Byrne a method actor? She looks as bad as her character feels
