I was kind of surprised considering all of the ads FX has been showing for this show. Damages premieres next week. (Tuesday, 7/24) at 10:00 p.m. I got a screener of the pilot episode to review. Based on the first episode, the show is really good. Glenn Close is amazing. She kind of reminds me of Victor Garber in Justice except she's a litigator, not a criminal lawyer. Tough as nails, good with the media and very manipulative. I definitely recommend people check it out. I dont normally watch Legal dramas but this show definitely intrigued me. Anyone else plan to watch?

The only person I wasnt able to get a good read on as a character was Tate Donovan's character. He does do some interesting things in the episode that make me want to learn more about his character, though.

Boston Legal is great but it obviously leans much more towards comedy. I was super pissed when Justice was cancelled, so hopefully this show will be just as good (or hopefully even better).

I'm a legal-drama fan myself, and I just feel like the format of this show is going to knock-out all of the other Boston Legal, Law & Order, CSI type shows...although, they're ok too. It's just nice to get something new and different, this summer...

The Houston Chronicle says it's the best FX series to date, which is high praise indeed considering this is the same network that airs The Shield. Washington Post says it may be the best pilot episode since the Sopranos. Seattle Post-Intelligencer says it may be the best of the cable series on TV. Yowza!

Yes. my guess is he started snooping into what was going on with the witness and got himself killed. I loved that she was wearing the jacket when she fled the apartment. The one she bought earlier in the episode. She said she wondered when she'd have an excuse to wear it. Creepy foreshadowing. Yay!
