While still pursuing big litigation cases, high-powered attorney Patty Hewes has been caring for her granddaughter and experiencing a second chance at raising a child. However, that may end when Patty's son, Michael, sues for custody of the little girl. When Patty's protege, Ellen Parsons, agrees to testify as a character witness for Michael at the custody trial, Patty scrambles to prevent her from taking the stand, fearing that Ellen will reveal Patty's secrets. To prevent the testimony, Patty refers Channing McClaren, a famous computer hacker, to Ellen, knowing that she will not be able to resist taking on such a high-profile client having just launched her own firm. When Patty files a lawsuit against McClaren -- whom Ellen has agreed to represent -- the judge in the custody case rules that Ellen cannot take the stand until the McClaren case is resolved.

A stunning premiere that shows the promise of returning Damages back to its season-one glory. Go to Full Review Kathy Sweeney Guardian 12/04/2018
It requires attention, but it's worth it. If you're a fan of legal battles fought to the death, you should take this case. Go to Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 12/04/2018
Martin Short! As the hard-ass lawyer! This is why Damages is one of the best shows on television -- it operates without fear. Go to Full Review Gerard Gilbert The Arts Desk 12/04/2018
With such audacious plot twists does Damages sink its hooks into us. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 12/04/2018

Tom, while always a serviceable character, really exploded off the screen this season. His plight to recover his own family's lost money was inspired and harrowing. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 06/18/2018
That first episode is one hell of a tease, and it's got me fish-hooked by the mouth. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sharang L @Scribe187 Feb 7 This season struggles to match the excellence of S1 and the lesser brilliance of S2. Still, not a bad watch. See more Sabita D @RT39836228 Nov 2 THE MOST OVERRATED terribly directed show ever. Glenn closes acting per se is below average and sometimes comical! Rose Byrne has no acting skills whatsoever and she drags the show down, Ted Dansons acting being mediocre, his character/role is outrageously pathetic/weak and downright vulgar. the suspense is showing the same building and pigeons supposedly menacing with tacky BGM with ridiculous repetition. Tate donovan does a decent job-the only good actor in the series but he gets killed off. After this I know for sure that Emmys/Golden globes mean nothing. they are bought or given for the already famous. See more 08/16/2019 Supporting cast blows the doors of the main cast. I'm seeing that a lot of A list cast stopping in to lend a hand. Glenn Close does well as always but why did they pick Rose Byrne?. Same theme as previous. See more 02/17/2014 Yeah, such a good idea to write a season that mirrors the Bernie Madoff scheme. See more Read all reviews
