The Bitch Is Back

I love the new promo poster for the sophomore season of FX’s Damages because, like the show’s Patty Hewes (Glenn Close), it is oh-so-deceptive (ain’t no one who can walk all over Patty Hewes, after all).

The show, which comes back on Jan. 7, will pick up shortly after Patty’s unprecedented victory over billionaire Arthur Frobisher (Ted Danson). Riding a wave of accolades, the nation’s most revered and reviled high-stakes litigator and her bright protégé Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne), will be thrown for a loop when Daniel Purcell (William Hurt), a man from Patty’s mysterious past, storms back into her life, catapulting her into a new legal challenge.

What starts as a domestic murder case, escalates into the highest reaches of government as Patty unearths a vast conspiracy, while at the same time, Ellen remains firm on her mission to take down her bitch of a boss.
