Ray Donovan - Season 6 Review

Critics and viewers on platforms like [Rotten Tomatoes](0.5.1, 0.5.10) and Metacritic generally agree that Season 6 is a return to form. It strips away the "herky-jerky flashback" storytelling of the previous season in favor of a more linear, raw, and often shocking narrative. The season finale, "The Dead," is particularly praised for its melancholic tone and its exploration of the inevitable bond between the Donovan brothers.

Liev Schreiber continues to deliver a masterclass in subtlety as Ray. Following the devastating loss of his wife Abby, Ray is portrayed as a man unmoored, struggling with grief and an escalating alcoholism that threatens to swallow him whole. Ray Donovan - Season 6
