In the Netflix portfolio, there have been some terrific shows but\u00a0Damages <\/em>remains for me at the top of the list.<\/p>\n

Glenn Close plays a ruthless lawyer with a dark past. The foil to her character is\u00a0Ellen Parsons (Australian actress Rose Byrne) who starts as her prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and later becomes her adversary. Unlike other legal dramas, all 13 episodes in each season revolved around one large, complex legal case.<\/p>\n

The trailer here shows the setup for one season that becomes a kind of TV roman \u00e0 clef<\/em><\/a> portraying the rise and fall of disgraced investor Bernard Madoff<\/a>. <\/strong>His wife is played by Lily Tomlin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I<\/b>n 2014 I saw both Glenn Close and Lily Tomlin in person \u2013 the former in a show on Broadway, the latter at a political fundraiser for former Minnesota Senator Al Franken. Both women are national treasures. I spoke to Lily<\/strong> for a few minutes. She\u00a0was warm and friendly with a quick and very dry wit — a class act in every way.<\/strong><\/p>\n
