    Storyline

    Edit
    Set in the sprawling mecca of the rich and famous, Ray Donovan does the dirty work for LA's top power players as the go-to guy who makes the problems of the city's celebrities, superstar athletes, and business moguls disappear. This powerful drama unfolds when his father is unexpectedly released from prison, setting off a chain of events that shakes the Donovan family to its core. —ahmetkozan

    • Trivia
      The character Sully Sullivan (James Woods ) is loosely based on Boston's infamous gangster, James "Whitey" Bulger. In the series, Mickey Donovan was a consultant in a film called "Black Mass", the same name of Bulger's real-life biopic starring Johnny Depp.
    • Goofs
      Parr 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.

    Great writing, great acting, immersive, engaging
    This is a solid drama - with the lead character helping upper crusty (mostly) Hollywood types safeguard their positions in society. In addition to the basic premise, the lives (and issues) of the Donovan family are explored.

    Ray Donovan drives a good portion of this drama - but as a strong silent type - it is the lives of his family, associates and clients that keep the viewers fully engaged. Jon Voight delivers a remarkable performance as the troublesome father - and I think it is his role that helps elevate this series past a 6-7 rating. He really spices things up.

    The lives of his brothers (Bunchy, Terry and Daryll) - while not compelling in themselves; add a real-life substance to the series - helping make this a serious drama.

    I think the series suffers when we delve into Ray's immediate family - his wife (Abby) and his children (Bridget and Conor). You might have a different take on their roles but I personally found them uninteresting and often irritating.

    Abby doesn't seem to have a real role - she's not quite a mother, not a knowing/wise wife - but instead comes across as a needy teenager. Her scenes are passable and still somewhat watchable because of Paula Malcomson's impressive acting ability.

    Conor, the son, completely forgettable. His life doesn't engage nor does it irritate - it's simply meh - filler material.

    Bridget, on the other hand, plays the typical (Hollywood) epically annoying teenage girl. You will want to fast forward anytime she appears at 100x speed but... you'll miss out on characters like Marvin and Cookie. So you have to put up with her (it won't be easy). Since the rest of the series is so strong, Bridget is unable to single-handedly destroy the series (which Hollywood-written teenage girls often do).

    I am reviewing this after watching 3 seasons. I'm tempted to rate this a 6 because I dislike the epically irritating Bridget character so much. But there is so much more going on, so many other great characters, so many outstanding performances (from strong emotions to nuances) that this series is easily an 8 - despite the annoying teenager.

    May update review later (since I plan on watching all 7 years). It's been bingeable good!
