      Season 1 – Ray Donovan

      2013 Drama List
      77% Tomatometer 43 Reviews 90% Audience Score 250+ Ratings Ray Donovan is a "fixer" for Hollywood's elite. He is the go-to guy that the city's celebrities, athletes and business moguls call to make their problems disappear. It's a much more lucrative job than his previous work as a ruthless South Boston thug, vaulting him within reach of the truly wealthy and powerful. But no amount of money or the expensive things it can buy can completely mask Ray's past, a past that continues to haunt him with troubled brothers always calling and his father's recent release from 20 years spent in prison. Now a free man, Ray's father, Mickey, arrives in Los Angeles to get what he feels is rightfully his. Mickey's desire to reconnect and settle old scores with his family -- including Ray's wife and kids, who have never met the family's patriarch and are anxious to get to know him -- threatens to destroy everything Ray has built for himself.

      Gabriel Tate Time Out Voight in particular is as engaged and gripping as he's been in a good while: whether executing a priest or leering at a breastfeeding mum, he's repulsively compelling. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review William Thomas Empire Magazine Terry (Eddie Marsan) and Bunchy (Dash Mihok) help carry a dark-as-hell, slyly funny but familiar-feeling drama. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2017 Full Review David Thomson The New Republic Ray Donovan is so way ahead of Lovelace or The Canyons in conveying the sexed swagger of Los Angeles. "Ray Donovan" is the one of these three items to watch-so long as you can live with a little nastiness. Aug 1, 2013 Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago Ray Donovan gets off to slow start but delivers an extremely compelling portrait of a unique working class family. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review David Bianculli NPR's Fresh Air The first four episodes of Ray Donovan suggest a Sopranos-type tone and approach, and that, of course, is high praise. May 14, 2018 Full Review John Powers Vogue I've seen the first four episodes, and when Ray's actually cleaning up messes, the show's not bad. But when he's not-boy, is the family stuff a tedious mess. Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

      Enes S Ray Donovan (Liev Schreiber) is a complete BADASS, I completely buy the character. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Pao G Es una serie con un elenco de primera, como cualquier serie que promete (como Breaking Bad) hay que darle su tiempo para que se vaya cocinando. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Mariana G Buen elenco, empieza lento pero hay que darle su tiempo. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review TIM M starts out great, but how much can you expound on a all powerful get things done at all costs character before you have to destroy him. don't get caught up in these 7 seasons of acting by making faces and crying despair, your life will thank you. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Started off slow and kind of all over the place...but as the season progressed really got into the characters and their problems...Jon Voight & Leiv Schreiber play really good roles Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review jed i 6.3/10 — "Okay"/"Watchable" Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
