It's a reunion for the duo of Close and Hurt, last seen on screen together in 1983's "The Big Chill." And their chemistry works.
Harden plays an adversary of Hewes who also shares a past, or more accurately a present, with Purcell.
Too much star power can sometimes spoil the soup, but in this case no one tries to out-act the others.
One complaint about the first season, that executive producer Daniel Zelman has acknowledged, is that the show careened too jarringly through flashbacks and flash-forwards. While there's some of that in the first few episodes made available for preview, the action does progress in a fairly chronological order.
Regardless, hang on to that chart.
Damages (one hour) returns tonight at 10 on FX.
