Hey all!!!
Damages, the critically acclaimed series has launched its second season. And it promises plenty of scheming and dealings. In the first season you saw Patty Hewes (Glenn Close), a New York litigator taking up the case of $2 billion suit against a businessman.
The second season starts with Ellen holding a weapon but no one knows her target yet.
William Hurt (An Oscar winner) has joined in the cast as a desperate client and another Oscar winner Marcia Gay will enact the role of a strong-minded lawyer
Patty is in a weak spot and the story line would be revolving around Ellen and Patty.
Actor Glenn Close says: “She’s been highly, highly traumatized, I think the Ray Fiske (Emmy-winner Zeljko Ivanek) suicide spun her into a place that she’d never been before. She lost control, she put a hit out on Ellen, there’s a lot that she regrets, and you have to take that into consideration.”
He further states “I think she regains control and, if anything, is more fierce in her commitment to bringing down people that she thinks are bad,”
Although Patty won’t be shown in more positive shades, yet there will be a murder case that will grow into a huge conspiracy later.
The co-creator of the show Daniel Zelman states “She really, genuinely hates bullies. Her compass is sort of always attuned to where the bullies are in society, and she’s always looking to stand up for the weak against the bullies.”
On Hurt’s character Zelaman points out that “He has a past with Patty, and Patty actually starts the season trying to help him.”
I think many of us agree here. The concept of the show is fantastic.
And what better words to close this then to use Close’s
“I think what Hollywood is putting out is kind of general entertainment for, what is it, 15-year-olds to 25-year-olds … I think we’re doing — as pioneered by The Sopranos — these dramatic, long, 13-hour, complex, character-driven mega-movies.
