This show makes me lactate it radiates so much estrogen now


What the hell is this show now? The last two seasons are just a big feelings party. Maybe Lifetime will pick it up next season.

Somehow we went from a gritty, dark, Soprano's-esque drama to the lost episodes of Grey's Anatomy.

See there..You've just stumbled upon Ray's problem. He equated feelings with estrogen, too, and being the strong silent type just isn't working for him anymore. He cracked.

People changing and evolving is a natural character development and that doesn't compare to Grey Anatomy that has killed more people in one season then the entire Ray Donovan series...and they do it just for melodrama and to keep everyone in a state of constant emotional upheaval.
Being a Dr shouldn't be such a dangerous career as compared to a fixer that consorts with criminals regularly.
I don't think Ray Donovan uses cheap tricks. But things can't stay stagnant and remain always the same.

I agree. The show sort of caved in on itself, especially the final season. Ray Donovan could’ve evolved into an even darker character or done something heinous, but instead it is like a Lifetime soap now. It was good though.

No. Wrong. 'Bye. BTW, not the final season. Please don't reply. You do not interest me.

remember Ray was molested as a child by a priest, and in case you forgot, they show the priest's penis in episode 12 so you can pause it on his flaccid manhood devoted to God

Think that's the point of this season. It isn't a man to be violent and hurt others and not address your own crap. It's also not feminine to do that. Boys feel too and Ray's farther and priests messed him up but he refuses to address that. Maybe now after a failed attempt he will

This show is going from strength to strength. Was hooked on this season especially the latter half.

Ray is getting in touch with being touched, doing the odd murder for hire.
