More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Ray Donovan Season 2 All Critics (11) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (3) Jon Voight's performance as the pathetic patriarch is awe-inspiring, and the machismo on display by Liev Schreiber is transfixing. Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… Joanne Ostrow Denver Post Top Critic There was hope that in its second season this overstuffed series could reshape itself into something leaner and more entertaining.But sadly, like its main character, Ray Donovan seems incapable of learning from its past blunders. Jul 3, 2018 | Full Review… Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago From the first scene in Ray Donovan Season 2 Episode 1 until the last, Liev Schreiber commands attention with his portrayal of the titular character. Jul 14, 2014 | Rating: 4.7/5 | Full Review… Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic Overall, it made for pretty decent television and I look forward to covering the second season of the show. Jul 14, 2014 | Full Review… Jocelyn W TV Equals Luckily, the show has Schreiber around to continually save it from the kind of embarrassing scrapes Ray is repeatedly asked to fix for his lawyer boss (Elliott Gould). Jul 13, 2014 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Al Alexander The Patriot Ledger It could be the most astounding creation on television now, even in a second season, [the] first five episodes are like tentacles of an octopus that reaches out and drags you in. Jul 18, 2014 | Full Review… Nancy DeWolf Smith Wall Street Journal Top Critic Ray Donovan remains somewhat limited in its appeal -- featuring colorful characters, yes, but at times constricted by Ray's cowboy nature, which includes a professional knack for finding weak spots and exploiting them. Jul 11, 2014 | Full Review… Brian Lowry Variety Top Critic Gritty, moody, raw, Ray Donovan is a two-fisted drama packed with sensational players handed marvelously crafted roles. Jul 11, 2014 | Full Review… Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain Dealer Ray Donovan is a sun-bleached noir and a character actor's paradise. Jul 11, 2014 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Guide Ray Donovan is in the remarkable position of being a show that appears to be built entirely of moments that are gratuitous, provocative, and emptily thrilling. Jul 11, 2014 | Rating: D+ | Full Review… Sonia Saraiya AV Club Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (11) Audience Reviews for Ray Donovan: Season 2 Season two of Ray Donovan is in some ways a letdown of season one, and in others a proper successor. The powerful performances continue, with Liev Schreiber cementing his career making role of Ray Donovan. He continues to enliven Ray as flawed protagonist, but a remarkably resilient one. This season, however, took far too long to really find its way, and focused on story-lines of ever-increasing melodrama. Part of what made the first season so effective was the balance between his family affairs and his actual job, whereas the entire second season is seemingly honed in on one plot thread that doesn't really give us a full picture--we scarcely ever see Ray work, why is it everyone turns to him? The immaturity and irrationality around him is mesmerizing, resulting in a frustrating experience. We constantly want Ray to be challenged by someone with his level of intelligence, charisma, and coolness under pressure. For the show to fully rebound and realize its true potential, it must look for more capable antagonists and side characters, and give more dramatic credit to the talented cast it already has (Jon Voight).
