	Media	Author	Review
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"'Damages' is an enjoyably complex thriller. Rating: ★★★½ (out fo 4)"
		Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"An impressively constructed thriller and an intriguing, timely exploration of what people at the apex of society will do to hold on to their power"
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"Who's a villain and who's a hero here? Can you tell the pawns from the players? All excellent questions as we become absorbed in FX's latest thrill ride"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"The producers have assembled a solid cast and deftly employ flashbacks to ratchet up suspense"
		Linda Stasi New York Post	"All in all, a great good time with not one single character to like. Now, that's entertainment!. Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Paige Wiser Chicago Sun-Times	"It's a lot to juggle, but you can count on the payoff to be worth the trouble. Power, weakness, greed, violence--what's not to like?"
		Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"Devious Patty is still drinking like a fish, while Ellen is still seeking her advice (still, Ellen? Really?), and I still will not be able to resist watching every episode I possibly can"
		James Poniewozik Time	"The show has become a little like legal '24' for me: lots of talent and strong performances, but it has increasingly seemed to strain to up its stakes in its one-case-a-season format"
