Tune in to a brand new second season of Damages premieres exclusively on AXN-ASIA from 6th April 2009 at 08.30 PM SL Time.
After clinching the Golden Globe and Emmy awards for her riveting portrayal of cutthroat veteran attorney Patty Hewes, Glenn Close is back to show off her acting prowess.
This season, she’s reunited with William Hurt after their last collaboration in 1983’s The Big Chill. Hurt appears as Daniel Purcell, a brilliant scientist with an intriguing piece of personal history with Patty. He comes to her for help in a domestic murder case, which soon spirals into a tangled conspiracy involving powerful and sinister businessmen.
Not to be outshone is Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne), Patty’s bright, ambitious young protégé who was thrust into the ruthless, back-stabbing world of high-stakes litigation last season (and lost her beloved fiancé in the process) and has now returned hardened and cynical. What do you do when you believe your boss has made an attempt on your life? Why, take revenge of course, by colluding with the FBI to put her behind bars. “You just want to arrest Patty Hewes, “Ellen mocks the FBI agents, “I want to destroy her.”
Ellen has much on her plate, with another of her arch nemesis, Frobisher, coming back to life after surviving his near-fatal gunshot incident in last season’s finale. As the one who murdered her fiancé, Frobisher is a prime target in Ellen’s revenge plan, executed with some unexpected help from Wes Krulik (Timothy Olyphant), a mysterious loner who befriends Ellen in a grief counseling session.
Indeed, as the Los Angeles Times proclaims, the convoluted relationship dynamics, the scheming characters and the brilliant acting makes the new season of Damages “a siren song of television to which, we, our beloved multitasking forgotten, can only surrender once again.”
Please note AXN-ASIA Channel is available in Sri Lanka only through pay television providers Dialog TV & LBN.
