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.

I would hate to see this series end… I have grown very attached to the characters in this series, and there are many more directions they could still go….. Growing up Chatholic, with Irish roots, as well as experiencing, the same ackwardness of having to fend off adult men, as a young girl, in the babysitter situation… I felt for everyone of the characters in this show… I was very fortunate to have amazing parents who were attentive, and there for us, giving us lots of guidance and coaching, to avoid the sexual predators, on young children in the world….… Read more »
