shyt was dope.
Didn't feel that first episode at all. Good gawd that shyt was soooo depressing. Why cram so much shyt into one episode, the pilot at that
Stretch is out a little bit. Non of these characters are likable whatsoever. Everybody has problems
-Alcoholic social misfit brother, Parkinson brother, epileptic chick complete with crazed masturbating stalker, killer/raging father, "oh I have a half breed brother", Paranoid Hollywood Jewish psycho executives, Athlete with dead groupie in bed, Gay superstar who loves trannies, and for the love of gawd, after Sopranos, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, etc do we need another whiny- a$$hole -bytch of a wife that won't shut the fukk up! What the fukk is she so mad about?
-What the fukk is everyone's problem in this show? I guess everyone likes the murders but don't know if I can watch another episode of this

agreed. theres no likable characters. Its an interesting set-up, but for a show like this to work, at the very least, the leading man needs to be compelling.
This dude....
Tony Soprano, he is not....so far... will give it another shot.

The pilot was good. I'm not sure how you guys can complain about the direction the show is taking. It was the first episode for cryin out loud. Give it at least till the third ep to see if the writers indeed know wtf they're doing.
I liked it .. alot.
As for his wife .. she's from Belfast. She's got a natural accent. That bytch was Trixie from Deadwood (GOAT show nominee) and she was Maureen Ashby from Sons of Anarchy.
She's been around.
Oh .. and why is she mad? shyt .. I think there's more to the lead character than we've seen so far. Dude probably been bangin hella bytches in the Hollywood hills. Hell, he was about to blow ole Mickey Mouse singer chick out at her place before she started seizing. The wife is probably tired of all that shyt.

I like the premise of the show.. The guy who 'fixes' things for Hollywood's heavyweights. And of course like all these shows he'll have some family problems and personal demons on the side he has to wrestle with but cot damn that shyt was rediculas. I know him and his pops are supposed to clash but show more of him fixing problems. I believe this show is supposed to be the shyt that happens after the Vinny Chase-Entourage party clears out and the problems start.The pilot was good.

-I'mma give it a couple shots but I just never seen so much overkill in a show especially in the first episode. Like he's about to bone the former Disney start in Malibu but she has a seizure and tells him he has epilepsy. Really, was that necessary? I also forgot that Ray Donovan's sister killed herself as well
Its bad writing. But I digress. I watch a couple more episodes
I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't readjust my shorts when she told the dude she wanted to taste him. Something about innocent looking chicks saying dirty things....

Because it took off in too many directions in the first episode. For example within the 1st 15 mins we learn 1 of Ray's brothers was molested by a priest. later in the show Ray is having a flashback where you see a boy eating an ice cream cone in the passenger seat of a car. The adult male driving the car takes the ice cream and throws it out the window, then puts the boy's head in his lap. Was that some shyt that happened to Ray or was he having a flashback about his brother? If it was his brother, why is he having a flashback? Was he there? If it was him, why are they going to the molested kid thing twice among 2 different characters? If it was the brother, well they show him now as an adult struggling with drugs, and alcohol, and functioning with women. That's enough fukked up shyt to tie into the molestation. Why bring Ray into it too? He had plenty of fukked up flashbacks and present day shyt going on. What, is it supposed to be a plot twist if it's revealed Ray was there but didnt protect his brother? Unnecessary IMO, since the brothers all fukked up behind it. Let that be his thing. We still gotta find out what's up with Ray, Ray & his wife, Ray & the Disney chick, Ray & his dad, why they don't get along, why Dad thinks Ray screwed him, why everybody was shook when they heard dad was coming to Cali, why some of Ray's ppl are cool with floating the idea of killing the dad to Ray. And then the black half brother. Really? Why? See how muddled all that shyt is? All in episode 1. And that's not even everything that went down! It came off a little forced IMO. Like they were scared the pilot wouldnt get picked up on some "LOOK! LOOK! THIS ALL THE shyt WE GONE HAVE GOING ON THIS SEASON!" But I already said I plan to try to see where they're going with this. fukk around a year from now I'll be reading this post like
was I thinking? Doubt it tho.

Show pissed me off in the opening scene. Dude suppose to be an OG and he talking on his iPhone and Benz bluetooth about crazy shyt. Looking like he went to the same School of Criminals Aaron Hernandez went
Lol, same shyt I was thinking
Talking about a murder on the phone like they're discussing the weather or some shyt

I'm pretty sure that was his brother
For instance, they show his sister about to jump off the room in that same flashback sequence and Ray wasn't there. It's just his imagination, he is visualizing all the tragedies in his family history
