As it is, writer-showrunner David Hollander has certainly crafted, last season and this one, an absorbing melodrama, aided a great deal by directors including John Dahl, who does terrific work in the second and third episodes.
The most intriguing plotline centers around a secretive movie exec named Samantha Winslow (Susan Sarandon, in a delightful strange turn). What does she want from Ray? The suspense is enough to pull us back in. [4 Aug 2017, p.56]

Ray Donovan makes an even bolder cut by removing the only problem it had, which was definitely Abby. The story continues to show a masterful way to regenerate itself while keeping it as entertaining as it can.

SEASON 5
We see a new face of Ray Donovan, a deeper, sadder, and in general a more emotional side of this program. As much as I was puzzled by the flashbacks, it did have a good purpose. Liev Schreiber is playing the hardest role he's ever done in the tv show, and he's doing it great so far. Couldn't say less about Paula Malcolmson and most of the cast of the show. The subplot is not the best they've ever done, but it's still one of the best returns this year.

SEASON 5
What an utter bore this season has become. Self inflicted misery by all characters, not one of them has got their act together, it's become just one long pity feast. I don't feel for any of them, I don't care about any of them, even the the guy with Parkinson's, just put to one side his ailment and everything else is his own stupid fault. How is watching losers entertainment?
