Damages (series one)

I managed to lose track of this when it was first on, but have just finished it now. So, (hot off the press!) I can share that it's bloody brilliant. It's one of the best one-plot dramas I can remember seeing.

Glenn Close is suitably psychotic - indeed from early on she's shot/made-up/lit in such a way as her eyes appear completely black; Ted Danson steals the show; you get Peter Riegert ambling around the set; not to mention Zeljko Ivanek playing possibly the slowest drawling southern attorney ever placed on screen. Non-linear narrative to keep you trying to solve the jigsaw, and twists just about the right side of bonkers.

Can't vouch for the next two series, but I'm off to find out...
