“The first few episodes of “Ray Donovan” are disappointing ” grandiose, predictable and painfully slow.”
–“Family Ties, Boston-Style, in Los Angeles”; The New York Times (6/27/2013).
I just watched the first, terrific episode — I taped tonight’s episode #2 — and I think The New York Times’ TV critic got it exactly wrong.
My take?
I thought the show was an unexpected delight: understated, original, and fast-paced.
Maybe I watch less TV than the Times’ critic??
I also loved the supporting cast (including Jon Voight as the Dad), which they knocked as well.
