Does this have a good ongoing plot like 'Damages'?

I do not know Damages so I can't speak of the likenesses but this does have a ongoing plot. You get bits an pieces of it at the beginning and end of each show. Plus during the show you get glimpses into future events.

While some of this show is a bit predictable it is well worth the time. If you like the novel you will enjoy this... imo

"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

I love 'Damages.' This isn't as good, but it's very enjoyable for a network show.

Yes it basically Steals the Damages' format......each episode begins with an event that will occur at the end of the season (I'm assuming) just like Damages. Also just like Damages, this scene is shot with different lighting. Each episode reveals more and more about this end event.....Damages to a tee

The other response was correct, though, it is No where near as good.

I would call this the below-the-poverty-line damages.

Skip it. Damages is 1000000000x better.
