Very well acted. Jon Voight Is completely amazing in this role. Amazing to see him still going so strong. Liev Schreiber is so believable in this role, but the whole cast pulls this together. This family's story is always rolling forward with never a dull moment. Truly Awesome! My wife and I are hooked till the end of this ride.

Such an amazing show. From beginning to end it takes you on a roller-coaster of emotion, suspense, drama and brilliant character development. When I finished it I felt like there was a void in my life. I can't wait for the new season. Watch it now!

It has always been a strange series from the start. But as each season starts the first few boring, if not confusing, episodes are put in to just pass the time. Only from about halfway through a season the show seems to pick up and get some direction. Then it actually becomes very exciting.Sure the show is full of swearing, blood and guts and murder, but what is it trying to say? Will we ever find out?I was initially intrigued but the boring episodes are getting the upperhand and I had to downgrade my original rating to 6. It looks like we are reaching the end of this series, as soon there won't be any living, or should it be, loving family members left!

I loved the first show so much i decided to keep Showtime after my free trial. By Season 3 i regret it. In the middle of season 3 Abby says the 'f' word each time she speaks and many of the other characters do also. I measure of show by the necessity of putting the 'f' word in the writing as a contrived filler. As in life, the more the 'f' or 'c' words are used the more of an illiterate , ignorant low life a person is. I love vulgarity but it's not power packed unless used rarely and wisely. I wish Mickey would have been killed of long ago because he's boring. All the brothers but Ray are dunces by Season 3. They all say they hate Mickey and say they'll stay away from him yet they let Mickey step on them episode after samo samo episode showing what masochists they all are. Abby started out hot, strong and cool and now she's a trite foul mouthed weakling. Stale is the word to describe the series now. Not even someone with good ADHD, like me, can be sucked in anymore. There are always, at least, 5 soap opera plots going on with these fine actors having sloppy writing and poor plots to burden themselves with. Even Ray's looks and overly nonchalant behavior get weary. Mickey is simply irritating and , mostly , the whole darn show lacks credibility. But, since i'm stuck with the subscription for a month i'll trudge my way through it. Sad. i'M STILL trying to watch this but they are getting worser than worse with every Donovan getting stupider and studpider. Ray and Terry Donovan are as dumb as fence posts. Whewie
