Why Terry McDonough’s Past Projects Are A Good Sign For Damaged

Damaged director Terry McDonough is primarily known for his television work, but that work bodes well for his new film. McDonough’s television directing includes multiple episodes of some of the best seasons of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul alike. Both shows are known for their expertly crafted tension and drama, and with McDonough having helmed three episodes of Breaking Bad and two episodes of Better Call Saul, it’s clear the director has a strong understanding of key elements of the crime and thriller genres.

Those two shows aren’t the only projects on which McDonough has explored the minds of killers. McDonough directed the first two episodes of Killing Eve season 3, which focused on a fascinating relationship between killer and an investigator attempting to chase her down. With Damaged set to pit Samuel L. Jackson’s Dan Lawson and Vincent Cassel’s Bravo against a serial killer, McDonough’s time on the stylish yet thrilling show is likely to have informed his work.

Films are a different medium from television, but McDonough’s strong work on a long string of shows proves everything from his ability to help actors turn in strong performances to capturing the perfect tones and levels of tension. With a fantastic cast and a compelling story, it will be interesting to see how Damaged stacks up against Cassel’s most memorable roles and Samuel L. Jackson’s best movies. Audiences can find out for themselves on April 12.

Damaged will be released in theaters, on-demand, and on digital platforms on April 12.
