US Summer Drama Week: Ray Donovan

Returning to showtime for it's fourth season a few weeks ago my favourite TV mother (next to the supreme Susan Meyer) Paula Malcolmson as Abby Donovan the Liev Schreiber lead dramas hovering around the magic million viewers a week and still an Emmy's favourite.

Ray Donovan continues to meet nasty characters in LA and this season we see Gabriel Mann (Nolan famously in Revenge) join the ever growing cast.

To say I would be surprised to see Showtime green light another season would be an understatement as I am beginning to feel like this show is either wrapping up or looking at at saying next year will be our fifth and final season.

Unlike Shameless not all family members are given equal screen time and the kids are basically just over paid extras in this season now.

You start to feel series like this were once great and still have their moments however the story they are to tell really have run there course.

Don't get me wrong this is streaks ahead of the dreadful American Gothic but sometimes it's time to say goodbye to a show before it goes down the road of Nolan (Gabriel Mann's) previous beast Revenge. That show in it's fourth season was a train wreck. And I'm not talking Amy Schumer Train Wreck good.

Ray Donovan it airs on Sunday in the USA, Monday in Australia. Let's be honest in Australia we have Love Child or fucking Masterchef so really this is heaven compared to white people crying about burnt toast.
