good evening everybody! y'all know i'm a total whore for pretty much any show on FX (especially nip/tuck & dirt) and oh they've got a goody coming...the new legal drama **damages** starring the one & only glenn close! she plays patty hewes a high-stakes litigator - oh my gosh - she is ruthless & tougher than nails - making cruella de vil look like an angel! i had the pleasure of screening the first episode (airing july 24th @ 10pm) right off the bat the series starts with a bang - i was quite impressed - i'm dying to know what will happen next! besides anything with ms. close is usually a guaranteed good time - glenn is an excellent actress - she's always fierce and **damages** is no exception!
i also really enjoyed rose byrne's character ellen parsons who plays the new girl at the firm - still pretty wet behind the ears - the show immediately sets-up a 'what the hell happened to her?!?' i hope the rest of the season is as exciting as the first episode! no worries - i'll make sure to remind you guys about the premiere (two weeks from this coming tuesday) below are some billboard shots that you may have seen in NYC or LA - plus there's a great trailer - totally worth checking out! popbytes over & out for tonight - i can't believe monday is rolling by again so soon - xxoo!
