"Damages" sics Patty Hewes on a Bernie Madoff clone
"It would be easy enough to reduce 'Damages' to the status of a pulpy page-turner," Heather Havrilesky says of Season 3, which kicks off tonight. "After all, it's all plot, right? Start with a story that we're already invested in (Bernie Madoff) but that's still shrouded in mystery even now that Madoff is doing time, throw in some high stakes for everyone involved, toss in a mystery man and a murder, and we're sold. 'Damages' could be far worse and still have an audience, as evidenced by the glut of lackluster whodunits on the air. Despite appearances, though, this show transcends the base level of twisty procedurals with one thing: Patty Hewes."
