4 Stars:…this show’s hit the hot button again. Ryan Phillippe is compelling as the glamour boy whistleblower …” – The Telegraph
“Damages remains as compelling as ever” – 5 Stars – TV Week
“Damages has been churning some of the most suspenseful drama on TV since its inception in 2007, but we rarely hear about it. Now, that the series is over, maybe it can finally get the respect which it deserves… [In Season 5] Damages remains an impressive show. As usual, Close is at the top of her game, and with Patty Hewes, she has indeed created one of the most memorable characters which we love to hate. Ellen Parsons has had an incredibly hard time over the years, and I think that Byrne played her even more humorless and dark than ever here. This season also brings in several recognizable actors in supporting roles. Still, one has to wonder why Damages doesn't get mentioned like other shows. Is it because it's about women? Is it because it's on a network which no one gets? Whatever the case, the show deserves attention and I certainly hope that the acting is recognized at awards time. This DVD release is a great chance to see how a memorable show climaxes.” DVD Sleuth
