Jul 22, 2015After waiting with great excitement for Ray Donovan to begin its third season, then after watching the first two episodes, I must say I am greatly disappointed. What happened??? New writers? The energy and suspense is gone. Boring and slow paced. I only pay for Showtime because of this show, and now I am thinking of canceling.

Holmes is obviously meant as a temptation for Ray, but the mismatch between her and star Liev Schreiber is not worth dwelling on. Ray Donovan remains a potent mix of pathos and dark comedy.
-
The brilliance of Showtime’s Ray Donovan expresses itself not only through the impactful intelligence of star Liev Schreiber, but through nuanced moments in its literary-quality storytelling--written and visual.
-
Moments [of rampant product placement] cheapen an already paper-thin premise and unstable narrative trajectory that means to measure masculinity by how tortured a man acts and how miserable he feels each time he beats the shit out of someone.
