I had no clue what this was about and ordered it on the strength of the reviews I read on Amazon. Brilliant is a word I don't often use to describe films but am happy to do so here. Mostly what caught my attention was the raw ambition of the lawyers involved and not being one, the thought crossed my mind they were missing real life as they scurried about scratching for the next big pay day. Damages may not help the image we have of lawyers in real life, but the acting was incredible,and Glen Close was so good she was scary.
Have just sat through all of series 1-3 on DVD and I am not sure I would bother with Series 4 (whenever it comes out). I am a fan of legal / cop drama, and in theory this should be a hit; but somehow it doesn't quite do it for me. The acting, like many have already remarked, is OTT in places and the cast is nowhere near as strong as other series. The main problem though is the story - there are endless twists and turns and whilst it makes for some compulsive viewing early on, you start to switch off very quickly as scene upon scene of back-stabbing and plot twists makes it seem like the work of a slightly deranged man... Everyone is very well dressed and slick but it looks very contrived, and the endless flashbacks / soft focus shooting really starts to weary on. It would be unfair to compare it to series like The Wire (which is in my view the best written series of all time) as it's just an inferior product. I will be trading in my DVDs for something else at my local store.

Absolutly brilliant and first class service. The product arrived on time and in mint condition. I still can't believe the price difference from buying it elsewhere. I made a saving of £50 pound. I would diffinetly but from this seller again.

Showcase Glenn Close
I actually do not own series 1 - 3. I bought series 1 to give it a try because, to be honest, I'm not that crazy about Glenn Close. Read more

Damages is like a drug, once you start to watch it you'll need help to stop. I started to watch it originally online but after getting through about 3 episodes I thought, 'I NEED... Read more
