well thought id stick it in here

make sure you keep a eye out for this excellent start to the series.

First two episodes are top notch, but then you'd expect nothing less with a cast like this show has.

~>Dg<~ · 16 Jul 2013 at 12:29

yeah think this could be my new series too watch.

dexter is kinda not great at moment but this is making up for it

Just watched episode three, and whilst it's another good episode the trailer for episode four looks to introduce yet another top notch actor -

James Woods as Patrick 'Sully' Sullivan.

Ooh a piece of candy! Ooh a piece of candy! Ooh a piece of candy! Ooh a piece of candy! Ooh a piece of candy! Ooh a piece of candy!

I'll be pleasantly surprised if this turns out to be good, because US TV has a great knack of doing previews with terrible voiceovers and footage that make even the most promising show in principle sound like a complete POS - fingers crossed!

It seems pretty good so far. Good script, great acting, interesting characters. The story is building, so lets see where it goes from here.

Well worth a shot.

Jon Voight dancing... amazing.

Not sure what made me think this but for some reason after the first episode (which I really liked) it felt a lot like I was watching a live action version of the Grand Theft Auto universe.

Anyone else feel like that?....no just me then...

Hahaha. I thought it was a strip bar initially. And then... hahahaha, actually loled at the end of that episode.

Good show, got me and the missus hooked already.. 2nd series is mint news.

Worse thing about American tv shows is liking it and then it dies a sudden death.

The producer of the show has pled guilty to running a Russian mob gambling ring http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ray-donovan-producer-bryan-zuriff-594186

Apparently he was arrested in April and just pled guilty this week but i hadn't read about it til now.

httk · 29 Jul 2013 at 22:29

Do you think he was waiting to plead guilty so he could get the publicity boost?

Yeah perhaps the 5yrs he could get is also for publicity. :rolleyes:

Now that I've caught up with things, I have to be honest and say that I'm not that impressed. Sure, the story with regards to Rays work is quite interesting. But his home life is just predictable disaster after predictable disaster. I mean, how many times is he going to not cheat on his wife (much), and yet she'll still accuse him of it? or go snooping around because she's sure he's doing something.

get rid of the family drama rubbish, and it would be a much better show.
