How this season is filed

Filed by Vivian Cross · The Carpet Report

Glenn Close's Patty Hewes bills loyalty as a weapon and smiles like a closing argument. Damages shuffles time so the betrayal is already in the room, then sends Rose Byrne's associate walking in anyway. Legal television as psychological bloodsport, not a tidy verdict.

TV Flash files Season 5 of Damages (2007–2012) on FX/Audience as the last listed season of 5 — 10 listed hours, 2012-07-11–2012-09-12 from “You Want to End This Once and For All?” (S05E01) to “But You Don't Do That Anymore” (S05E10). Titles, dates, and synopses on file — no invented recaps.
