I have watched every episode and find it funny since season 1 Ray basically spends his day with a coffee at home then to the gym for a whisky,then to the office for a whisky,then to various potential clients for a whisky.Then comes home at night and has a whisky and nurses various wounds he got throughout his day and then wakes up and repeats again the next day. So in summation tough guys can get stabbed,beat up,and shot and they can just go home and take off the bloody clothes and have drinks and be recovered by morning all on an empty stomach.Too funny.
In watching Ray Donovan, the characters have such a believable existence that you can't help but wonder about the things the rich and famous we read about daily really do. I will not be able to read about a scandal without wondering if a "cleaner" was involved. This show is a true testament to those creators and writers who have brought about something so new and fresh that all other current series seem to pale in comparison. At times, the laugh out loud tastelessness of things being said just leaves me wanting more. Even if feeling slightly guilty for laughing. I am hoping this show stays raw and powerful and witty and that we will get many more seasons of the same.
Incredibly unique show, the writing is phenomenal and the acting is a great compliment to it...The show has a style and vibe that I really can't compare to anything and it's dark humor is top notch...Almost every scene is entertaining because the characters are so great and I really enjoy how portions of the background story are unveiled week by week...If there's one negative I can imagine someone saying about the show is that it's a bit of a slow starter...I don't even think this show has hit third gear yet and I'm already hooked...Just hope they don't smother all the greatness out of it like they did to Dexter..but that's another review
Ray Donovan is a flat out awesome tv show! It really is an incredible show, especially the earlier seasons! The last two seasons aren't quite as good but still worth watching. Liev Schreiber is perfect as Ray Donovan and leads an amazing all around cast that are all at the top of their game here. I absolutely recommend this show to anyone who loves a good drama with plenty of action!
Take a shot if a character says:
If you really want to raise the stakes, take a half shot every time a character says:
You may want to have medical professionals standing by for the last two.
This show started off great. It got boring during the middle seasons, but season 6 was very good. I have mixed emotions about season 7. They provided a lot of interesting back story for a few characters, but they left a lot of loose threads at the end.
The whole series showed way too much of Ray's daughter. She got somewhat interesting in Season 6, but then I, once again, lost interest in her during season 7.
I'm glad Ray's son wasn't shown much during the last few seasons. He was an annoying character from the beginning.
Overall, it's a good show if you can stick with the boring bits.

Did you know
- TriviaWhen the show got canceled after season 7, there was such an outcry from fans that the producers and the network figured out a way to wrap up the story with a TV-Movie.
- GoofsParr of Season 6 is supposed to be set in Staten Island, however it was actually filmed in Yonkers. Staten Island does not have hills near the waterfront, the bus stop sign is only 6 feet high when bus stop signs are normally over 10 feet, parking signs do not have the NYC broom symbol, and there would be houses visible across the water in Brooklyn, not the Palisade Park mountains. The "Long Island sound" would not have mountains in Connecticut.
