FX has yet another successful show on their hands and is building a solid resume for shows.  Like Nip/Tuck and Sons of Anarchy, Damages is a drama revolving around a law firm in New York City.  The show stars Glenn Close as a brilliant yet ruthless lawyer named Patty Hewes.  Opposite her is Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne), Hewes’ protégée.  The first season focused on their attempt to win a class-action lawsuit against a former CEO filed by his workers.  The CEO was played by Ted Danson.  The second season was centered on a huge case against an energy company, as well as one of Patty’s ex-lovers.

Damages is so much of a hit that it has received critical acclaim and a number of television awards, including one Golden Globe and three Emmys.  The unique nonlinear narrative along with frequent plot twists is norm for a show on FX, but has allowed Damages to rake in the accolades.  Not to mention that a solid and respectable cast along with a strong season-long storyline will always boost reputability.  Guests stars for this season include Lily Tomlin, Martin Short, Reiko Aylesworth, and Sarah Wynter.

The third season of Damages is set to premiere on January 25^th at 10/9 pm on FX.  It is truly a great show and a great drama.  If you miss the original broadcasts of episodes, you can get caught up at the following sites:
