Damages returns Monday night. (I've blogged previously about the show here.) What can we expect in the third season? From the website:
…. Patty Hewes has recently been appointed by the U.S. government to
recover billions of dollars in stolen assets from the largest
investment fraud in U.S. history, a fraud perpetrated by the esteemed
financier Louis Tobin.
Inspired by recent events in the world's economic collapse,
Season 3 showcases Damages signature legal-thriller storytelling as
Patty Hewes takes on the Tobin family – a secretive clan determined to
protect its interests at all costs. The Tobin family members have
maintained their complete and total innocence. They claim not to have
known anything about Louis Tobin's fraud. But Patty Hewes believes
otherwise and will stop at nothing to prove it. Patty and her trusted
lieutenant Tom Shayes (Tate Donovan) do battle against the Tobin
family's trusted attorney Leonard Winstone (Martin Short), son Joe
Tobin (Campbell Scott), and Louis Tobin's wife Marilyn (Lily Tomlin).
Glenn Close (two-time Emmy winner for this role) and Martin Short (in the role of "a sinister, untrustworthy
character who oozes brainy insincerity like
oil," says Entertainment Weekly) as legal adversaries? Wow! This I gotta see!
