Ray W 01/08/2025 Season 5 was sooooo bad. Must be new writers that didn’t have a clue how to write. Boring, repetitive, annoying completely out of character. Had to fast forward through it See more Dave A 08/16/2024 I was late to the Ray Donovan universe and just started watching this show last year. After finishing Season 5 I can say that the show is still an interesting, complex ride through the lives of these characters and the bodies and lives they leave in their wake. However, I'm having a hard time believing that Ray doesn't drop dead from exhaustion, malnutrition, and alcohol poisoning. Granted, I'm watching 2-3 episodes at a time so it's a lot to take in, but I just find it hard to believe any human being can keep up the pace Ray is running. He's ALWAYS drinking, he doesn't eat, you never see him sleep -- except a couple hours here and there in the later episodes when he likely passes out in his apartment after a huge bender in one episode, and falls asleep at the gym in another. I'm trying to suspend my disbelief, but I can't believe someone so broken, so drunk, so exhausted is able to keep himself, his brothers, his kids, and other randos out of jail. On the flip side, I thought Abby's situation was handled well and I was able to adjust to the flashback-style of the season. As the glue that held Ray and the family together, her story was important since she has such an impact on all the lives of the other characters, and is the catalyst for most of Ray's problems this season.

See more Dalene J 10/14/2021 I think Paula Malcomson must have been relieved to play a less course and vulgar woman than the role of Abby. She was as much a street thug as Mickey. The show is like watching a moral train wreck, just when you think there's nothing left to betray, turns out there is. See more 05/18/2021 Usually tv shows restrict their flashbacks to one episode per season. Season five took a risk, dragging the audience through flashbacks until you are as out of time as Dr. Strange. If you make it to episode 4, it is recommended you fast forward through the flashbacks, as the primary storyline is very well executed.
