Product Description
DAMAGES-COMPLETE 2ND SEASON (DVD/3 DISC/WS 1.78 A/
Amazon.com
With the second season of the legal thriller Damages, the creators, writers, cast, and crew have accomplished a minor miracle by producing 13 episodes that match--and, at times, surpass--the level of nail-biting drama and suspense that made the show's freshman season one of the best in 21st-century television. The core cast is back for this round--which is something of a surprise, given that novice lawyer Rose Byrne is convinced that her legal-eagle boss (Glenn Close) is responsible for the murder of her fiancé. The story neatly weaves together a murder mystery involving an old flame (William Hurt) of Close's, Byrne's collaboration with federal agents (led by Mario Van Peebles, who also directs the season's fourth episode, "Hey! Mr. Pibb!"), and Hurt's involvement in an environmental scandal that implicates a major corporation. The threads come together in impressive fashion, and the quality of the writing and direction is matched at every turn by the cast, which also includes Marcia Gay Harden as Close's opposing council; Tate Donovan as Byrne's saintly confidante; Ted Danson, who reprises his winning turn as disgraced billionaire Arthur Frobisher; Saturday Night Live's Darrell Hammond as an unnerving killer; and a trio of HBO vets--Deadwood's Timothy Olyphant and The Wire's John Dornan and Clarke Peters--as a shady love interest for Byrne and a pair of malevolent corporate apparatchiks. If the third season of Damages achieves the level of quality of season 2 and its predecessor, it will be the neatest hat trick on TV since The Sopranos. The three-disc set of Damages' second season features a healthy selection of extras for series devotees to enjoy. Writers and creators Glenn Dessler, Daniel Zelman, and Todd Kessler are featured on commentary tracks for four episodes, and they're joined by members of the cast on each: Byrne (who may surprise some with her Australian accent) and a wry Olyphant on season opener "I Lied, Too"; Danson on "They Had to Tweeze That Out of My Kidney"; Donovan on "Look What He Dug Up This Time"; and Close on "Trust Me." The creative team is also front and center for Season Two: Post Mortem, which is informative for those wondering how the producers and writers work with the show's nonlinear format; the cast is the focal point for Character Profiles, which features short bios and chats with the main players. A battery of deleted scenes round out the set's supplemental features. --Paul Gaita

 Happy, Happy, Happy March 9, 2010

Damages Season Two March 7, 2010
Suzanne Hogan (Detroit, MI USA)
If you watched Season One, then Two must be watched. One cannot completely understand One, without watching Two. I've watched several of these episodes two and threes times, just to make sure I didn't miss anything. That is the thing about Damages, because of the moving forward and backward through time, it's easy to miss an important item, causing one to not be able to connect the dots. However, that is the benefit of picking up the DVDs.
Season Two is much better than Season One, however, one cannot be understood without the other. The only thing that is difficult is that it seems like the writers tried to squish more of the story into Season Two, and this is evident at the end of the season's episodes, where much takes place during the last few episodes, in what appears to be a larger span of time.
And then there is the ending! Very much filled with suspense, and after the first viewing, one will say, What just happened and want to watch it over and over. You'll be left wondering who just won here. And never forget the theme of Damages, Trust No One!

The technical quality of the DVD set is top notch and makes watching this series enjoyable.
Damages Season One March 4, 2010
C. Ferme (Denver, Co USA)
If you like to be kept guessing and don't mind being wrong...this is the show for you. Grabbed me from the start and kept me "consumed" and guessing, wrong mostly, about what's what. If you are a 24 lover (except for season 6) or Prison Break fan, this has the same level of "can't put it down" or "Okay, just one more". IF you order it, get season two at the same time...cause you'll regret not having done so!
As good as Season 1! March 3, 2010
Lurann K. Harmon (Chicago, IL)
My husband and I started watching "Damages" on the recommendation of a friend just before the start of season 3. We had watched season 1 on DVD and loved it and knew we'd need to see S2 before the new season began. None of our local stores had it in stock, so we purchased it from Amazon (at a great price) and received it promptly. We began "power watching" the episodes one after another, and were so happy that S2 was as good as S1! William Hurt played an amazing role, and it was great to see Ellen's character developing. Plus, the appearance of a "bad guy" from S1 made it fun. We are officially hooked!
