TV Tonight: The Damages Season Two Finale
I'm both relieved and dismayed that Damages ends its second season tonight. The relief comes from finally putting the pieces together — whom does Ellen shoot? what is UNR really up to?
Glenn Close and the Damages Crew Hint About Season Two
The new season of Damages starts Wednesday, and I have a feeling it's going to be good. The first three episodes are just as tense and twisty as I'd hoped, and I think untangling the web of who knows what is going to take the entire season — if not well into the next one.
Recently, the show's creators and its star, Glenn Close, hopped on a conference call with reporters to talk a bit about season two, which premieres Wednesday at 10 p.m.
Check Out This Spooky New Promo For Damages
I first saw this promo for the second season of Damages before Saturday Night Live last week, and it caught me completely off guard. It looked so slick that I assumed it had to be part of the show, and I kept waiting for it to get funny.
Around the point that Ellen steps on Patty Hewes's throat, though, I started to understand what I was actually dealing with.
Live From the Emmy Press Room: Glenn Close
Glenn Close gave one of my favorite acceptance speeches of the night when she won her Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and she was just as gracious a few moments ago in the press room.
"It really is the ride of my career," she said of playing Patty Hewes on Damages. "To have this magnificent part that is as good as any part you would find in a feature film, and to develop her and have it evolve with such an amazing ensemble of writers .
Get "Damaged" With FX's Saturday Marathon
FX's thriller-mystery series Damages, starring Glenn Close, was one of the best entertainment-related things to come out of 2007, period. It's dark, edgy, and so well written, it succeeded in becoming another one of FX's shows (along with Nip/Tuck and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) that brings the cable channel into a whole different league. These shows have way more in common with stuff you'd see on HBO or Showtime than say, USA.
Glenn Close and Damages Hold Court at TCA
The first season of FX's Damages was enthralling and chilling, and from just the couple of minutes we got to glimpse Tuesday morning at the TCA press tour, the show still has its captivating qualities. The show's main cast — including two of the three new cast members, William Hurt and Timothy Olyphant — was on hand to discuss a bit of what we'll see in the coming months, and I already feel sucked back in to the Damages universe. Some of this is spoilery, so if you don't want to know anything about season two, stop here — but if you want to hear about the new characters, the evolution of Ellen, and the fate of Arthur Frobisher (well, maybe), just read more
PaleyFest: Scoop from Damages and Dirty Sexy Money
I may be back in sunny San Francisco, but the Paley Festival is still going strong in LA. This week kicked off with panels for Damages and Dirty Sexy Money, with more to come from The X Files and Mad Men.
I was worried that neither the Damages nor the Dirty Sexy Money events would be very well-attended, because last week I got an e-mail from the Paley folks offering up free tickets to either panel.
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below The Invasion and Rocket Science are available for your viewing pleasure.
Damages Will Be Back — Twice!
Good news, Damages fans: FX has finally made its decision about renewing the acclaimed but low-rated drama — and it's getting not just one but two more seasons!
The network has committed to a total of 26 new episodes — two 13-episode seasons — of the series, and it's expected to go back into production early next year (presuming the writers are writing again by then, I suppose). Glenn Close, Rose Byrne, and Tate Donovan are all signed on for the additional seasons — but there's no mention of Ted Danson.
Talking Damages with Glenn Close
The FX drama series Damages wouldn't have been nearly as compelling without Glenn Close in the leading role. The five-time Oscar nominee gave her character, Patty Hewes, the perfect mix of ruthlessness and compassion that always left me doubting her motives.
Last week, Close spoke with reporters about being back on television after her Emmy-nominated turn in The Shield, creating a character as complex as Patty, and the excitement of working on a show with so many twists and turns.
