The final scene of the debut was a little gem. "I never thought of
myself as an angry man." "Raylan....you are the angriest man I have ever
known" And she dreads looking at him, but she looks him square in the
face when she says that. And then the play of emotion on his face. It
was a perfect little moment; if they can do that once, they can do it
again. But first they have to establish the characters and the setting,
then they'll have more time to spend on the plots.

This is the network of "Damages", Glenn Close's awesome show.
