Anybody watching this? Quality show with solid performances from Jon Voight and Liev Schreiber, who is a ''fixer'' for the rich and famous.

I wonder if law firms that rep Hollywood stars/famous people really do have these types of guys that clean up after their clients?
 
Yeah, I'm enjoing the series. Good drama, I enjoy the rawness of Voight's character.
 
I have been following it courtesy of Sickbeard. Still not sure what to think of it, I want to like it, but it feels a bit too loose for my liking. Hopefully some kind of event/character can tidy it up a bit...
 
One of the better new series to come to light. Really solid and really enjoying it. One of those shows that gets you wanting more as each episode ends.
 
I started off a bit lukewarm on Ray Donovan but as it progressed I really started enjoying it. Characters the show can do without is Ray's next door neighbour- the rapper with his teenage son. They're too contrived and stereotypical.
I also have a sneaky suspicion that James Woods' character is based on Boston mobster Whitey Bulger.

I feel the same, will see how the finale is to make a decision.
 
I started watching this series, i think i am on episode 5.

Maybe a little bit too hyped up, but its a good show, i am enjoying it.

Things are really going south for Ray. Will be interesting to see how he gets himself out of his predicament. His issues with his father are complex, especially since its not exactly clear why he has those issues - something is missing which they will reveal later.

There are also some flaws in terms of how Ray fixes stuff up e.g In the first episode, Ray helps the athlete with the dead girl by swapping him with an actor who is always with Trannies. With apartments or hotels like this, surely there are camera's that show who comes in and leaves? Also somebody would be paying for that room - which would give evidence as to who was actually staying there.
 
I like this show very much I'm a fan of Liev Schreiber and he plays Ray Donovan really good!
The last episode that showd on Mnet had me saying oh ***** a couple of times especially the last scene!
 
Season 3 coming to an end so nows a good time to discuss the show thats looking more and more like The Sopranos.

Need to watch a few to get up to date.
 
1 ep behind.

Why does she have braces again? And boy I was not expecting that turn of McShane's character. In the words of Al Swearengen, what a cocksucker.
