Jul 13, 2015 | Full Review… Matt Fisher Observer Top Critic The best news for the show is the arrival of Ian McShane as Malcolm Finney, a slippery rich guy who contracts for Ray's services. Jul 9, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic With the first couple of episodes as guide, Donovan is in good shape. Jul 8, 2015 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Ray Donovan seems to occupy a second-tier status among classy cable dramas, but it's sometimes as good as almost anything else out there. Jul 13, 2015 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV Ray Donovan remains a potent mix of pathos and dark comedy. Jul 13, 2015 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald Everything rides on Liev Schreiber's shoulders, who manages to avoid monotony despite the narrow slit of affect and emotion permitted his persona through sheer force of concentration and imposing presence.

Jul 10, 2015 | Full Review… Robert Rorke New York Post Top Critic The entire world of Ray Donovan feels typified by nothing more than pent-up machismo. Jul 10, 2015 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review… Chris Cabin Slant Magazine Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (13) Audience Reviews for Ray Donovan: Season 3 Ray Donovan's third season is an unquestioned improvement of its previous season. There’s less emphasis on some warn family dynamics, notably the nearly insufferable melodrama between Ray and Abby, and more on what makes Ray, Ray—un-measureable brooding intensity and fortitude with a notable troubled undercurrent. The season has some interesting storylines, and features some great guest stars, especially Ian McShane. There’s some development from Ray’s brothers and we see a growing tiredness with Mickey—but also some groundwork that will make for strong exploration later. Yet, in typical Donovan style, the series remains prone to over-the-top melodrama, and sometimes gets away from itself. The show is at its best when it’s dark, serious, and intricate. This season offered some of that, and hopefully subsequent seasons will have more to come.
