The first season of FX's Damages was enthralling and chilling, and from just the couple of minutes we got to glimpse Tuesday morning at the TCA press tour, the show still has its captivating qualities. The show's main cast — including two of the three new cast members, William Hurt and Timothy Olyphant — was on hand to discuss a bit of what we'll see in the coming months, and I already feel sucked back in to the Damages universe. Some of this is spoilery, so if you don't want to know anything about season two, stop here — but if you want to hear about the new characters, the evolution of Ellen, and the fate of Arthur Frobisher (well, maybe), just .

Opening January 18, 2008 Mad Money finds three ladies forming an unlikely team to rob their employer. Apparently, it's based on a true story. It appears that there's the sassy lady played by Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton plays the clever older lady and Katie Holmes has the role of the quirky free spirit who dances her way, um, everywhere. 
When I started watching Damages on FX over the summer, I figured it would be a pretty straightforward legal thriller. To my surprise, the show actually has had so many twists, turns and timelines, it's practically on par with Lost. There have been far-past flashbacks and recent-past flashbacks as well as scenes from the present day, which find young lawyer Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne) in jail accused of murdering her fiance.
In tonight's next-to-last episode, all the timelines collide — and, supposedly, what connects the ruthless Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) and her case against the powerful billionaire Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson) to the murder of Ellen's fiance will be revealed. 
When I wrote about the series premiere of "Damages" last week, I said it would be tough to find the moral compass of Patty Hewes, the ruthless, shameless main character played compellingly by Glenn Close. Now, after viewing the second episode in the series, I'm not sure I could find the moral compass of any of the series regulars — and that's exactly what makes "Damages" so much fun to watch.
Like the premiere, the second episode, which airs tonight on FX, is fraught with a sense of impeding doom. 
One of the frequent topics at the TCA press tour has been what a wonderful time it is to be an actress helming a cable show. From Kyra Sedwick in "The Closer" to Lili Taylor in "State of Mind" to Holly Hunter in "Saving Grace," smart, quirky, tough women are finally getting their due.
Tonight, Glenn Close joins that crowd as the star of "Damages," FX's new legal thriller that deftly traverses morality, greed and power. 
I'm not usually big on legal shows, but I have high hopes that FX's new series, "Damages," will be the exception. The show, which stars Glenn Close as a powerful attorney, was already one of my top 10 reasons to watch TV this summer, and now that I've seen some clips, I'm even more curious to see what FX has up its sleeve with this one.
The preview for "Damages" reminded me a bit of The Devil Wears Prada — albeit a much more serious, higher-stakes version. 
For Wednesday's Recast challenge, I asked you guys to tackle the long-running and brilliantly enduring sitcom "Cheers." The actors who played these colorful, oddly familiar characters really helped make the show what it was, but if you had to recast "Cheers" today, would you pick? Leave your entry us in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature next Tuesday, Feb. 6, complete with a "new" cast photo.
