Overrated

Absolutely Brilliant!

The acting in this movie is really good.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is show is about as good as television gets. Glenn Close proves that she is more than Norma Desmond or Alex Forrest. In this show nothing is safe people can't be trusted and human casualties only matter if you can put a dollar amount the loss of their life. What is great about the show you don't know what to expect. The FATAL FLAW is that there is too many characters. You need to watch every episode more than once to see "who hates who" and "Who killed who & why".This review however is only for the first 2 seasons. We binged watch this episodes in 8 days so everything was fresh in our minds but we still got a little lost about some details. So if you watch this pay very close attention. The plot gets confusing and you might have to watch every episode (In Season 2) twice just so you can keep up.

I loved this show for some many reasons, the cast is great, the plot, the intro theme, OMG...this show is all I wanted to watch. It's hard to believe the fact "DAMAGES" is rated 8.1 and "SUITS" 8.7, In my humble opinion, DAMAGES gets my 9.7 Vs. SUITS gets my 6.0.Many people hate this show because the story goes back & forth. I like puzzles, and this drama puts you on the edge.Glenn Close and Rose Byrne: Blows my mind. Another great actors appeared like Lily Tomlin,Ted Danson, John Goodman and Martin Shorts (all comedians) turn into evil characters- AMAZIING.Patty Hewes is evil indeed, no one can play better than Glenn Close.This show is cool: Murders, Revenge, Intrigue, Sex, Bad Dreams, all in a litigators drama. A very addictive show indeed.

I enjoyed this show until Season Four. It was intriguing and it kept me glued to my seat. The acting was stupendous, the casting was great, and the story line was interesting. I couldn't wait to watch the next episode during each Season. My enjoyment came to a swift end during the first episode of Season Four. I knew it may have a bend given the subject matter, but I don't watch programs to be beaten over the head by an agenda. Clearly, there was an agenda put in place during this season.A war veteran working for a private security firm meets Ellen and begins using terminology that was simply made up by gun control proponents. "Assault weapons"??? There is no such thing, and no serviceman would use that term to describe his rifle. There were inconsistencies and inaccuracies regarding firearms etc. in previous episodes, but each pertained to the case and the scenarios were believable enough. Even worse was it's attempts to portray servicemen committing atrocities in Afghanistan. Season Four goes off the deep end in my opinion. It's too political, it disgusts me, and I've lost interest.You're not missing anything if you read the cliff notes for this Season and skip to Season Five.

Everything about this series was the best possible, BUT I hate the moral of the story. Essentially, no one at all may be trusted. I counted up the actors on this series, and looked at the ratio of them that made unethical decisions, and it was greater than 87%. If the world actually functioned as depicted, we would be in much graver trouble. This makes for very unexpected twists, and unique stories (which I thoroughly enjoy usually), but if production companies should be responsible for more than just the entertainment value of their productions, than I think they fell slightly short here. I would have given this story a full ten otherwise, as it is very stimulating and suspenseful to watch. The actors and acting were all top rate, and I really have nothing else negative to state. Well, one minor thing: I don't like unrealistic events in shows I watch, such as when someone dies after another turns their neck a quarter turn, or when a car explodes because someone ignites a small piece of paper on fire going into the tank port. But, I have come to expect this from even the greatest productions. If you think that the moral, "One must incorporate evil to fight evil," is acceptable or of little consequence, then you won't mind this factor.Please don't downgrade this merely due to it not being a full review, as I stated so in the heading. I believe many interested in watching this series would like to know this facet, as I found it very important. I watched every episode and even from season to season kept waiting for good to prevail over all of the evil, but to no avail.)
