Who’s been watching the new FX series, Damages with Glenn Close and Ted Danson? I am totally hooked. The show is not at all what I thought it would be, it’s even better. Just a note though, it is definitely not for children.

I’ve always been fascinated with New York so I love that it takes place there. I have always wanted to visit that side of the states, especially New York, but the farthest east I’ve been is St. Louis. I do chuckle whenever I see them driving in New York, though. I was under the impression that most people took cabs everywhere? I know if I visited New York I’d likely need a New York car accident lawyer because I’m not that aggressive of a driver and I’m sure I’d be run off the road in about 10 seconds.

Anyway, the writers don’t seem to share my love of New York, in fact, I’ve noticed they’ve been putting a very weird and dark spin on the city; the Statue of Liberty for example. It has come up in many episodes in various ways, each time in a very negative light and in one scenario, a very sinister light. I find it interesting that they used such a powerful symbol in such a way to help tell their tale. I’ve never thought about being afraid of Ms. Liberty… but I am not sure I’ll look at her the same again after this show.
