    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know I'm only four shows into this 5th Ray Donovan go-round, but I need a score card to keep track of all the "back to the future" moments in this new season. It flip flops back and forth in surrealism from events in the past to the current day in time without much of a clear cut pattern as to what exactly is going on. The show makes no sense at all; meanwhile throwing a puzzling Natalie James into the mix every other scene or so. The shows fact checkers are off the mark, too, this season. After totaling their car by driving over a cliff (complete w/deployed airbags and a ghostly, half naked Natalie James standing in their way); Ray and Abby are seen getting into that same car the next day with nary a scratch on it. Back and forth between scenes and with no explanations; Terry ricochets with his new remote control device that turns his Parkensons on and off at will. This season better start making sense or I won't be watching it much longer. This 5th season has veered off course more into a twilight zone, kaleidoscope direction often taken by David Lynch. Perplexing, dark, eerie, depressing, puzzling and, simply, boring...zzzz...… Expand

    As it is, writer-showrunner David Hollander has certainly crafted, last season and this one, an absorbing melodrama, aided a great deal by directors including John Dahl, who does terrific work in the second and third episodes.

    The most intriguing plotline centers around a secretive movie exec named Samantha Winslow (Susan Sarandon, in a delightful strange turn). What does she want from Ray? The suspense is enough to pull us back in. [4 Aug 2017, p.56]
