-- Damages.By Kessler, Glenn, 1970- Kessler, Todd A Zelman, Daniel Baker, Mark A Close, Glenn, 1947- Byrne, Rose Donovan, Tate Griffith, Anastasia, 1978- Harden, Marcia Gay Olyphant, Timothy Danson, Ted, 1947- Hurt, William KZK Productions (Firm) FX Productions (Firm) Sony Pictures Television Bluebush Productions (Firm) Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (Firm)2012, p2009., Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Call No: DVD Fic Damages 2 Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Damages Volume: 2Summary Note: 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.
