5.0 out of 5 stars Stop with the low star rating because you're mad at Amazon's policy change August 8, 2012
By Ellen Ellis
Amazon Verified Purchase
I've watched this series for 4 seasons. The acting is consistantly great! Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are both excellent actors and they deserve higher star ratings than the the show is getting in season 4. Some people are givingpoor ratings with 1-2 stars because of a change in Amazon's policy to not offer it free starting in season 4 with the amazon prime video membership. These poor reviews are bringing the actual show ratings down. Amazon's policy change has nothing to do with the quality of the actual show. I wish people would rate the acting and writing quality of the show correctly and not lower it because they're pissed off at Amazon.

By Bruce D. Seymour
Bruce Altman tells Glenn Close to F*** ***. What could be better? Another great season of Damages. And John Goodman as the villain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive marketing, but Amazon corrected their error July 17, 2012
By Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
July 21 update: Amazon issued a credit to cover the cost of my unwatched episodes that are now pay-per-view, instead of part of Prime's free instant video. Thanks for making it right, Amazon.

July 17 original comment: "Damages" is one of those addictive shows that hooks you and compels you to want to immediately see the next installment. It was deceptive marketing to offer season 4 for free one day as part of Prime instant streaming and then, after hooking viewers, switching the pricing the next day to charge for the remaining episodes. This is unethical marketing and Season 4 should be restored to free Prime instant streaming.

Keeps you engaged and ready for the next episode. Patty is such a dynamic character as you do not know if you should root for her or against her. Looking forward to season 5.
