Daily Telegraph (UK)
As slick, exciting and accomplished as you might expect. It was also, with all its characters brimming with self-confidence and endowed with remarkably good looks, totally implausible in every scene. Not that that made it any less enjoyable.

Everything is explained, everything is straightforward, everything is entirely predictable... Unless Damages starts to throw some serious curveballs, I am going to need a large amount of probable cause to keep watching and not close the case.

Damages brings on ringer William Hurt to hulk around Season Two... Hurt, as always, is a delight, a bundle of quirks and bizarre line readings that makes him seem completely unpredictable
