Sepinwall on TV: 'Damages' season two review
What's Alan Watching? —
... shows filmed in New York have ever made the city look like such an architectural marvel. And the series' mystery format and interlocking timelines makes it easy to simply sit on the edge of the couch and wait for what happens next. But just as working for Patty is ultimately a bad career move because she's going to turn on you in the end, "Damages" is a show that inevitably reveals itself to be less fulfilling than it seems at first glance.To read the full thing, click here. Not sure yet how much episode-specific commentary I'm going ...

... engrosses with plotting, backstabbing, murder and revenge in its arsenal of dramatic devices. … As a serialized, character-driven show, "Damages" embodies the unexpected left turns and mind games that are standard-issue in modern thrillers.

The Newark Star-Ledger says: … just as working for Patty is ultimately a bad career move ...
Damages, "I Lied, Too": Open thread
What's Alan Watching? —
... Since I'm tied up with press tour, I don't have time to do a full episode review for the "Damages" season premiere. You can re-read my column if you want -- and keep in mind that I rather liked the premiere before getting frustrated later -- and fire away with your own thoughts.
Getting caught up with Damages
What's Alan Watching? —
... I did an open thread for the "Damages" season two premiere, and in all the hubbub of press tour, never got around to doing that (or a longer review) for episode two. With last night's episode, "I Knew Your Pig," we're caught up on the episodes I saw in advance, and which informed the complaints I made in my column a few weeks back. I don't really have the time or energy to add to that right now, but I suspect I'll give the season another episode or two before deciding for sure that the series simply isn't for me. ...

Damages dropped
danowen.blogspot.com 3/9/2009 — Don't worry, it hasn't been axed. I'm just stopping my weekly reviews of Damages.

I should have held out for the ...
