Ray Donovan : Mon Aug 12, 2013 9:33 am  

Anyone else seen this? From Sky Atlantic "Ray is the man called in to make the city’s celebrities’, superstar athletes’, and business moguls’ most complicated and combustible situations go away. This powerful drama unfolds when his father, Mickey Donovan, is unexpectedly released from prison, setting off a chain of events that shakes the Donovan family to its core." I've only seen 3 episodes so far but I'm enjoying it. Eddie Marsan's in it (The World's End and The Best Of Men) managing a pretty convincing Boston accent too.

Yes - I've been watching it; it's not quite living up to the billing (likened to The Sopranos on the Sky Atlantic trail!) but is enjoyable stuff. I don't particularly warm to Liev Schrieber in the titular role, but there are some great supporting performances - Eddie Marsan as you've mentioned, and Jon Voight is excellent as the degenerate but rather charming Mickey.

A mate of mine from Batley (big Bulldogs fan) wrote a few of the episodes for this
