A hit American thriller that originally aired over 10 years ago is a must-watch for UK viewers now it’s available for free.
From this past Sunday, streamers can view the full series - almost 60 episodes - without paying a penny on ITVX.
Starring some incredibly recognisable names from film and TV, Damages is considered a must-watch for fans of legal dramas like Suits or The Good Wife.
Originally airing from 2007-2012 on FX, the series stars Glenn Close as ruthless lawyer Patty Hewes who takes on a new protégée Ellen Parsons (played by Rose Byrne).
Every season introduces a fascinating new case that Hewes and Parson takes on whilst also exploring their complex relationship.
Reviews at the time praised the two leads as well as showrunning trio Daniel Zelman, Glenn Kessler, and Todd A Kessler’s knack for compelling drama and gut-punching plot twists.
Damages also stars several screen favourites, from The Good Place’s Ted Danson and late Oscar-winner William Hurt to Only Murders in the Building’s Martin Short and Alien: Earth’s Timothy Olyphant.
Fans are still raving about the drama all these years on, with one viewer describing the series as an “absolute must watch!
“I'm very picky on what keeps my interest, this series hands down is amazing.
“The story lines are true to life, the legal maneuverings are ‘head shaking’ and the cast members are perfect for their roles.”
Another viewer shared their reaction when Damages was available on Prime Video last year: “I have just started Season 4, but wanted to say that this is worth every minute of your viewing time!
“The plot twists and flash-forwards, together with superb acting from all the fabulous cast! I found this on Amazon Prime and couldn't get enough of it!
“Could easily have binge-watched had I had the time! My only regret is that I didn't find this years ago!”
And another fan says one viewing wasn’t enough: “I've watched this series twice now and it was just as good the second time around!
“You're sitting on the edge of your seat right from the start and it continues to keep you interested.
“It has a lot of twists and turns and you're always trying to figure out what's coming next. I'm sure I'll more than likely watch it again sometime...it's THAT GOOD!”
