Damages

Season 5

Season 5 could have had some more interesting development but served as a fairly good conclusion to the series. After two mild seasons, Patty and Ellen are finally back at war and are showing the darker sides of their characters again in their final showdown. It was good that the writer finally remembered that Patty was actually evil and capable of doing the worst things to get what she wants. The mechanics have been the same for a while and there is nothing really surprising or able to match the quality of the first three seasons, but there are a few interesting twists and the plot is mildly interesting overall. Flash forwards don't really work anymore, they had us make wrong guesses about what is going to happen for too many seasons already, and it was obvious that Ellen wasn't dead and that Patty had nothing to do with it. More than showing what is going to happen, they actually show what is NOT going to happen and it's been clear by now.
