Ray Donovan - new Showtime series
Seems like Liev Schrieber's title character is kind of like Harvey Keitel's Winston Wolf.

Well thanks to you I have watched 6 plus seasons of this in the last week!
Thanks for the recommendation, I think. Pretty cool being a FMB thread. Last edited by HemiEd; 03-04-2020 at 08:13 PM.. |

Ray Donovan is an awesome actor, so might try to get a Showtime subscription before this starts out. Generally, I have a hard time finding anything to watch on this set of channels, so why bother paying for it. Thanks for sharing, I'll go check out the trailer now.

When i saw the previews for it i thought: "Looks intersting, ill give it a go". I watched it. Thought it was shit. He's a lot less like Winston Wolf, and more like a criminal Ari Gold. I'll give it more episodes for a fair trial, but the premiere was pretty bad IMO.

I liked the echoes of the Bernadette tattoo and the much subtler, and to now poignant, tattoo of Ray's dead sister over his heart in the opening scene. The brother loved a girl, Ray loves his family And that Russian is certified bad ass, a grunt level crewman who has the capacity to take any of his 'superiors,' thrashing the **** out of Ray and his love child brother in the same day. Plus he seems to know his way around intel gathering and IT. There's an intriguing mix of old school mafia and modern fixer. Both require ruthlessness and cunning, but Hollywood required and requires a subtler approach, a velvet glove to go along and get along in that society. Its the evolution of guys a generation ago would be stealing parking meters and commandeering trucks of merchandise for cash and black market resale, who are now taking care of the self-inflicted wounds of the hyper rich. Both required a steely jaw, a mind thinking three steps ahead, and absolute immorality to get things done. Last edited by Baby Lee; 07-14-2013 at 10:00 PM.. |
