Damages 2.01 Review: Destroying Patty Hewes

True to the precedent set by Damages’ complicated and twisted first season, there’s so much going on during the second-season premiere “I Lied, Too,” I almost feel sorry for any viewers trying to jump in without having watched or at least read recaps of the first season.
Expected complexity aside, something still seems to be missing from Damages this time around: last season’s urgent (emphasis intended) sense of mystery that arose the moment bloody, dazed, and nearly naked Ellen Parsons appeared onscreen and meandered through the streets of Manhattan before winding up at a police station, where she was questioned by …read more

Follow ‘Damages’ Patty Hewes on Twitter

It’s true — apparently FX’s Damages has gone all Web 2.0 and whatnot, so fans really can follow Glenn Close’s master manipulator character Patty Hewes on Twitter.
Yesterday, I decided to plug a recent IGN TV interview with Damages’ Close and creators and executive producers Todd A. Kessler and Daniel Zellman through my Twitter account. Soon afterwards, someone named Patty Hewes started following me, and I immediately returned the favor.
I wasn’t going to write about this at all until earlier today, when Patty tweeted the following gem:

As we fans of mature women-centric television prepare for the Season Two return of Glenn Close’s complicated Damages tonight (“I Lied, Too” at 10pm EST on FX), here’s a slew of photos to remind us who the old cast members are — Close, Rose Byrne, Tate Donovan, and Anastasia Griffith — and to get us pumped about the newcomers: Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, Oscar winner William Hurt, and former Deadwood star Timothy Olyphant.
If nothing else, these photos scream: “Yeah, we know we look good, and we’ve got a kick-ass drama for grownups to prove it!”
Bring it on, Team Patty …read more

‘Damages’ Season Two Set for January

Mark your calendars, fans of Glenn Close and intelligent, mature dramas: Patty Hewes & Company will open the 13-episode second season of FX’s lawyer thriller Damages on Wednesday, January 7, at 10pm EST.
I’m really, really looking forward to the Emmy-approved (Close for Best Actress and Zeljko Ivanek for Supporting Actor) thrills and chills, especially after watching Season Two trailers like the one below and the pair after the jump.

And the 2008 Actress Emmy Winners Are…

Let’s get right to the list of lucky ladies who took home shiny statuettes at the end of Sunday’s 60th Primetime Emmys ceremony. I think the actresses selected represent a nice, talented crop, so not many complaints from me beyond the usual annual grumbling about the thespians who were undeservedly overlooked all together.
I must, however, give a special shout-out to the two guest-star winners: Kathryn Joosten (The West Wing) for her comedic performance as Karen McCluskey on Desperate Housewives and Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City) for her dramatic turn as severely mentally disturbed perpetrator Janis Donovan on Law …read more

In addition to championing the website, Close actually writes for it regularly at the blog Lively Licks. If you watch the following interview, you …read more
