Ray Donovan: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

77% Tomatometer 13 Reviews 93% Popcornmeter 250+ Ratings

Ray Donovan is a "fixer" for Hollywood's elite. He is the go-to guy that the city's celebrities, athletes and business moguls call to make their problems disappear. It's a much more lucrative job than his previous work as a ruthless South Boston thug, vaulting him within reach of the truly wealthy and powerful. But no amount of money or the expensive things it can buy can completely mask Ray's past, a past that continues to haunt him with troubled brothers always calling and his father's recent release from 20 years spent in prison. Now a free man, Ray's father, Mickey, arrives in Los Angeles to get what he feels is rightfully his. Mickey's desire to reconnect and settle old scores with his family -- including Ray's wife and kids, who have never met the family's patriarch and are anxious to get to know him -- threatens to destroy everything Ray has built for himself.

Ray Donovan: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Matt Fisher Observer [It] doesn't appear to have shifted much in its themes or delivery, but it's heartening to see that, in moving on from Goldman & Drexler and Elliot Gould's role as Ray's mentor, it's aiming to give Ray a more carefully-sketched relationship with his boss. Jul 13, 2015 Full Review Ray Donovan: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) John Doyle Globe and Mail Take away the foul language, sex scenes and occasional bursts of gory violence, and it's very, very ordinary. Jul 13, 2015 Full Review Ray Donovan: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Robert Rorke New York Post Ray Donovan may just be the best summer show you're not watching. Jul 10, 2015 Full Review Ray Donovan: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV Ray Donovan seems to occupy a second-tier status among classy cable dramas, but it's sometimes as good as almost anything else out there. Jul 13, 2015 Full Review Ray Donovan: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald Ray Donovan remains a potent mix of pathos and dark comedy. Rated: B+ Jul 13, 2015 Full Review Ray Donovan: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) James Wolcott Vanity Fair Everything rides on Liev Schreiber's shoulders, who manages to avoid monotony despite the narrow slit of affect and emotion permitted his persona through sheer force of concentration and imposing presence.

TIM M a study in "we're all idiots in this family" as this drama turns into american families are all bad and we as a people need to eradicate families for the good of the children, run away from this faster. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Dee l Love Katherine Moennig, she is outstandingand Liev, bu a BIG no to Jon Voight. Omg so annoying and tedious. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/20 Full Review Audience Member Great show great acting Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I am beginning to realize that "time" in this series isn't really linear it only appears linear. In reality we are time traveling to and fro through various fascists of details that re-appear sometimes from different angles. Ray re-obtains his wits, but it isn't quite as good as the first season. The delivery of the story follows a very similarly "themed" style from season 1. Several twists kept me entertained and it was worth watching. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Mixing up Ray's family with his danger and drama COULD make the show more intriguing but it's honestly just a mess. I miss the clean story lines from season 1. That said, the action in this show is so good, I will definitely watch the next season. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Problems as far as the eye can see, everyone character in the set has something going on, it's necessary for the fire department to work 24/7. Saying this, it's the most interesting and entertaining season yet, with both Katie Holmes and Ian McShane giving it quite some extra..
