The (Non) Masked (Home) Cinema 2022 - Ray Donovan: The Movie

Ray Donovan: The Movie wraps up the Showtime series I thought would end back in 2017. The series changed location from Los Angeles, California to New York City, New York as well as concluding with a seventh season in 2019/2020. Basically this show ended when the world went nuts!

The TV film is the follow up to the seventh and final season of the series of the same name, centring around the title character, portrayed by Liev Schreiber and the relationships with his family, including brothers Terry, Bunchy and Daryll, played by Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok and Pooch Hall, respectively. 

It debuted on January 14, 2022 in Australia on the latest streaming service, Paramont+. Along with all new Showtime series. Poor Stan that is a MASSIVE content deal to lose.

Following on the events of the season 7 finale, Mickey (Jon Voight) is on the run, and Ray (Liev Schreiber) is determined to find and stop him before he can cause any more damage.


I wasn't a fan of season four way back in 2016, however it did somehow, end up getting better.

I am hoping this is where they leave Ray Donovan be now. It had its moment, having a solid run from 2013 all the way to 2020, whilst entering 2022 with this almost two hour long episode.

It's minimal, it's dark but it does answer those fan questions following the end of season seven.

No rating for this film as I will leave that to the films on the big screen. Speaking of, there are some big ones on the way this February!
