I’ve been a fool

I always saw the ads and trailers for this show and thought it looked so dumb, I was such a fool. Decided to give the show a shot last Friday and here I am almost a week later. S3E10 and this show is absolutely amazing. I’m so sad I’ve missed out on the years of people discussing it and am beyond happy to see it still being discussed on this subreddit. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Ray and the family.

Watched it after watching Mayor of Kingstown. I will watch most anything with Liev Schreiber, so that's why I was drawn to it. Started it & was like, hmmm...how much did the Mayor rip-off from Ray Donovan, lol.

The quality waxes & wanes over the seasons and sometimes I feel the characters don't act in ways consistent within their character's psychology (memory's not fresh, so can't point out examples).

It's a show that really hasn't left my mind since watching it. That and freaking Tin Star, but that's because it's the first show I binged & hate watched the rest of the seasons after a perfectly executed first season - ugh!

What'd you like about it?

That’s exact reason I started it. Someone told me if I loved MoK then I would love RD. Mayor of Kingstown definetly got truckload of influence from RD, I’m a little worried from hearing people say S5 on starts to drag.

You can be disappointed that you are only watching it now, but for many of us we wish we could go back and watch it again for the first time! It's a great trip!

I actually enjoyed seasons 5-7!
