What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Showtime cable channel, Ray Donovan stars Liev Schreiber, Alan Alda, Zach Grenier, Jon Voight, Dash Mihok, Eddie Marsan, Pooch Hall, Kerris Dorsey, and Graham Rogers. The series centers on professional fixer Ray Donovan (Schreiber), who’s working to be the man his family needs him to be. While he makes progress with Dr. Amiot (Alda), there are dangers from the past that require the Ray Donovan of old. Between NYC mayor Ed Feratti (Grenier), an unrelenting NYPD officer hunting for the truth and clients old and new, Ray struggles to find the balance between fixing for clients and fixing himself. And when Feratti’s corruption brings a piece of Mickey’s past (Voight) back to New York, Ray is forced to seek answers to long-buried questions.

Ray Donovan is My favorite show on TV!! PLEASE, PLEASE do not cancel this series! Its got to be the most popular series on Television as many others agree. I don’t understand why Showtime would do this to so many invested viewers who get Showtime, to watch Ray Donovan. When I heard I could not believe it was true. Is it really true?
They need to rethink the cancellation. I got Showtime just to watch Ray Donovan and just finished season 7 with so many unanswered questions. I and highly disappointed to hear this. Makes me want to cancel my subscription..

Very upset that Ray Donavan was cancelled. It was one of the better shows available on TV. Please bring it back even for 1 more season for closure.
