I really do. I think it’s sophisticated, intelligent, powerfully characterized, and socially relevant, which is more than I can say about 95% of the crap in the current media. More importantly, it doesn't rely on the sexual appeal of its two female main characters to carry the show. Which is why I’ll be recapping (read: gushing over) it.
Before I begin, though, I’m going to need a moment.
Thank god for DirecTV because seriously, what in hell was FX thinking when they decided to cancel their only award-winning show? Ratings be damned, did they have no idea what that would do to me? Each season of Damages was tantamount to sex for me (fyi, I watched all three seasons within two months, but yes, it was somewhat of a dry spell at the time). The way the non-linear s/l was set up, I knew what would come at the end—no pun intended; I would get hints and flashes, but the build-up was always tantalizing and more than enough to satisfy me until the end.
