Premieres July 11 on DirecTV
Like Patty Hewes (Glenn Close), this drama about the dark side of the law has proved hard to take down. After a highly praised, low-rated run on FX, it launches its fifth and final season on DirecTV, promising a showdown between sharky litigator Hewes and her pretege turned enemy Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne). How will the show resolve their conflict between expediency and morality? Expect Damages, like its antihero, to do whatever it takes.
