Ray Donovan

Liev Schrieber has always been rock solid and significantly underrated in my opinion. He's awesome in a side job as HBO Sports' main narrator. The guy just seems tough as shit, but also excels in comedy. I'm a fan. Anywhoo he's in a new series on Showtime called Ray Donovan where he plays a big-shot lawyer's "cleaner". He fixes strange problems. He's believable in the role to the point it's a little scary. You don't doubt he's beaten the shit out of someone with a wooden bat before. He is married with two kids and living in Beverly Hills, or something very similar. He's from Boston and him and his wife carry a hint of that fucking awesome Southy accent. He has some weird shit going on with his father, played by Jon Voight. He put his own father away 20 years ago on a murder conviction. It's deeper as Ray has always hated his father for cheating on his mother and contributing to his sister's suicide, but you don't know much about either. His dad's released and an FBI agent keeps tabs on him and tries to get him to flip. All the while Ray juggles family life with his crazy job AND this weird shit with his dad swirling in the background. You never know if Voight truly wants a real relationship with his grandkids, or if he's just pissing Ray off in various ways. The acting is phenomenal and besides a creepy YOUNG teenage relationship that honestly makes me uncomfortable to watch, it's been excellent. I seriously hope I didn't already write about this, but it wouldn't surprise me. Bottom Line: 9.0 out of 10. I've been a big fan of this one and sincerely think you should start watching this shit ASAP. Schreiber is going to get some well-deserved praise for this one and hopefully more starring roles in some big movies.
