Now THAT Was A Finale

For those of us that were keeping up with the stellar series Damages on F/X this summer, we were greatly rewarded with a fantastic finish to the season. Spoilers Ahead!!!!

Frobisher getting shot! Patty arranging Ellen's death! The amount of the settlement! This was all a total shock for me. I was blindsided at every twist and turn as we finally got the answers we were looking for, while being kept on the hook for next season, if there is one. The performances by Glen Close (how creepy was it when she was crying at the grave and her eyes appeared to be black?) and Ted Danson stole the show all season, and did not disappoint in this episode. Who would have thought that our buddy Sam Malone could have such an evil streak in him.

Now even though I'm sure not all lawyers are this diabolical as Hewes & Associates were, I do wonder what lengths some law firms go to in order to exonerate their clients. This all being said, I really enjoyed the run of this program. I was not sure what to expect, but the great cast and suspenseful plot kept me guessing the whole time. F/X might be the most consistent network when it comes to airing outstanding adult dramas that push the envelope and keeps the viewers asking for more. Let's just hope that the head honchos are wise enough to bring this show back for a well deserved second series.
