So DAMAGES is fast becoming a soap opera. Kinda disappointing. What started out as an innovative, intelligent show is now becoming a telenovela. You've got the crazy girl who's in love with the engaged guy, and she has keys to his apartment and watches them shower, then tells the cops she was having an affair with him and they were gonna live together (and uses the keys she stole from him as evidence). And you've got the snake lawyer who can't sleep cause he's hiding a secret. Could it be that he knows Frobisher is a crooked con man, which would mean he's developing a conscience and, thus, could ultimately help undo Mr. F? No, turns out he has a thing for guys. Whoop-de-doo, what is this, 1995?
Speaking of Mr. F, he's really unhinging fast, huh? The best scene of the whole night was watching him berate the ghost writer. To think, maybe one day I will be a ghost writer being berated by a bamboozling billionare. *sigh*
Still love that Glenn Close though, even as she co-pilots Ellen's engagement into the ground with her wily, manipulative ways.
Gotta say, though, the last two episodes have felt way out of character. And isn't this supposed to be an eight episode deal? If so, it's shaping up to be a disappointment.
Of course, you know I'll keep watching.
