The absence of news to confirm or deny the future of the legal drama Damages Direct TV in the chain, which was rumored to continue the series where the left-FX is the signal Forgot to give final by the idea of \u200b\u200bseeing a fourth season. But does it matter? Under the final episode, issued three weeks ago, not much.
Since the beginning of the third season, the bells of the cancellation have been ringing insistently. The disastrous hearings "under a million viewers, have resulted in an inevitable disinterest on the part of the FX, which is not willing to keep the series on the air, no matter how critically acclaimed it, and many awards and . Of course, the series won the laurels for a great first season, and what came later, far from being remotely bad, it was more than a stretch of history, which branched into other not very interesting subplots.
While the second season managed to drag the exciting pace of the first despite this proliferation of plots and characters, the third has not been able to maintain type, and except for a few episodes, has elapsed between boredom and indifference. Two elements, however, have saved the series to end his career, as they say Anglophones, with a Whimper : the excellent resolution of the season as one would expect-and exciting always Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) and Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne), who have carried the weight of the series until the end, so that evil, in fact, is lower.
As mentioned, the final episode resolves all open frames in the season-and series-and repeating the amazing performance of narrative deconstruction of the previous two, it makes everything make sense, permitted, as always, add information at the last minute details that change the perspective and destroy the assumptions made by the viewer. For example, the death of Tom (Tate Donovan). For several episodes, we were all certain that he had shot, or had been thrown, the river, when the reality is much more grim: Winstone drowns by Leonard (Martin Short) in the toilet. Much, much better. Or the disturbing and beautiful dreams of Patty, that make sense to disclosure, through a highly dreamlike flashback of self-induced abortion as an escape to a family life that is preventing you from carrying out his dream in the big city.
The case has occupied the season, remember that each batch of episodes correspond to a major case investigated by the office of Patty Hewes, has had good moments and good characters, some great, as Leonard said Winstone or police Patty questioned in the flash-forwards - but has failed to live up to the above. Perhaps to make up for this, "Perhaps not, the writers have expanded the biographies of the protagonists, with some frames that, despite successful conclusion in" The Next One's Gonna Go in Your Throat ", have not contributed anything to the series. The family lives of Patty and Ellen have been moments that seemed disoriented and fill-the problems Drug Ellen's sister, the subplot of the son of Patty and his girlfriend, but have acquired complete sense once exposed the conclusion of the series: professional ambition and family are not compatible. However, not all sub-plots turn out to be justified by the final: The story of Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson) has been slightly to the series to land for self-reflection, but the classic plot of 'let's make a movie based on what happened' no work. The story of redemption has been more Frobisher. Damages
was not perfect, but the deep sense of uniformity in each of his three seasons, good for moviegoers reluctant to try to television fiction, and the excellent interpretive work of all actors leave us a high quality final product with a satisfying conclusion that does not require below. Therefore, and since Patty does not want to answer, in our case it was worthwhile.
