Showtime’s new original series, “Ray Donovan,” debuts on June 30 following the series finale of “Dexter.” But the cabler is giving you the option of watching the first episode right now. The show stars Liev Schreiber as a fixer for L.A.’s upper class whose life is thrown into turmoil when his father (Jon Voight) is released from prison.
“Southland” creator Ann Biderman is behind the new series, with Allen Coulter (“Hollywoodland,” “The Sopranos”) helming the pilot.
Based on the first episode, does “Ray Donovan” look promising? It didn’t fare so well on Entertainment Weekly’s Bullseye feature in the June 21 issue (“The only thing professional fixer Ray Donovan should be repairing is his new TV show”); yet the Hollywood Reporter has given it a score of 100 on Metacritic.
