THE highly-anticipated third season of the phenomenal Emmy and Golden Globe-winning legal thriller Damages has returned to America Plus with an all-star cast every Sunday at 8pm.
Glenn Close stars as Patty Hewes, the US's most revered and reviled high-stakes litigator and she is back in action, tackling the most challenging case of her illustrious career.
Following up Patty's decisive victory over corrupt CEO Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson) in Season 1 and her decimation of Ultima National Resources in Season 2, Patty Hewes has recently been appointed by the government to recover billions of dollars in stolen assets from the largest investment fraud in US history, a fraud perpetrated by the esteemed financier Louis Tobin.
Inspired by recent events in the world's economic collapse, Season 3 showcases Damages signature legal-thriller storytelling as Patty Hewes takes on the Tobin family - a secretive clan determined to protect its interests at all costs.
Season 3 sets the stage for Patty Hewes to have finally met her match in deception, manipulation and intimidation. Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne) is quickly rising up the legal ranks at her new job. But life for Ellen gets much more complicated when her new boss begins investigating the Tobin case. Ellen realises she may not have escaped Patty Hewes after all; season 3 explores the ties, the secrets and the lies that bind Ellen Parsons to Patty Hewes.
Like many other acclaimed US imports, Damages has slipped under the radar for many. But for its intelligent and intricate narrative, and spectacular cast led by the inimitable Close it's worth paying attention to the hordes of critics raving about this series.
