They need to get this Abby crap out of the way soon, its miserable.

And Mick is acting like Grandpa Simpson, boring now.

Glad they shipped the dipshit son off to military school, less airtime for him the better

And where the hell is Avi?

They definitely need to step Mick's roll up. I've had enough of Abby and Shakes to last me for the season.

I agree. This is one of my favorite shows and it's definitely not the same

I think they lost some writers in the last two years and it's shown

I still like it, but back when Ray was fixing shite with Avi and his team and Mick was being Mick, it was a top 3 show on tv for me.

I'm about to quit watching. It gets darker and less enjoyable every season. Ray has become a joyless depressed miserable human being. They've lost everything that made the show good in the first couple of seasons.

Agreed. The Ian McShane / Katy Holmes storyline was the last good season

Also, Hank Azaria

Season four was unwatchable. Haven't even given this season a shot. Really is a shame. Schreiber,Voight,and Eddie Marsan are all great talents but the writing has just become piss poor.

Ray needs to move to DC and start "fixing" things there.

Man, they went off the rails, scattershot as hell.

So far I think it's better than 4, but that's not a high bar. Abby's thing is at least non-linear, and the Sarandon sure-to-be evil bitch deal hasn't developed.

Bunchy & gal are still gross, Terry's still shaking, but has another promising boxer that'll probably pound Bridgette.

Ray still knockin mfers out in a suit that works for blackmail on Sunset, fix in Burbank, Calabasas school principal visit, evening Wedding in El Sogundo, reception/fight, Rap murder cleanup, and get laid at 4am.

not really anymore. But yeah, I wish the show would go back to season 1 and 2 feel and tone.

It never fails. Every Showtime show that I've really liked has went off the rails after a few seasons. Extremely disappointing.

Agreed except Homeland rebounded nicely. The last few seasons have been awesome

Ray Donovan, not so much

This season is off to a rather sad start.

I just started watching this on Showtime. I'm in season 3 now and wish they would go back to the fixing. I always lose interest when shows leave their original premise and start with all the personal family shite.

I thought maybe they were killing off Abby because they realized how much fans disliked her, but then her sick arse shows up in each of the episodes so far.

When Ray went to walk the dog, and she said, "With a bottle of whiskey?", I thought Yes, Bitch, with a bottle of fricking whiskey. STFU and go away already.

This is something single men may not realize, but it wears on a man if some woman is always saying shite like that. "You are gonna go wearing that? With a bottle of whiskey? You're just going to watch football all weekend?" Bitch, please.

Maybe the writers are better than I thought. They tapped that vein of aggravation.
