The seventh season of ShowtimesRay Donovanfeels like its still in a bit of a transitional phase.
The stakes need to rise soon for this season to match the overall quality of the last one.
Weve simmered for a few episodes now lets turn up the heat next week.
Groups and locations cant change or define us.
We have to do that ourselves.
Remember, he and Jim Sullivan used to run together in the Boston criminal underworld.
Jim still has connections.
So Ray gets Molly to call dad for the money to make the Mayor happy.
More on that later.
Lets hope he doesnt put her in danger.
(We all know he probably will.)
Brendan Donovan
Bunchy is miserable over the fate of the boy he shot in the drug store robbery.
It looks now like the kid will never walk again.
Bunchy is being recruited for a White Nationalist group!
That tracks with his history.
Bridget Donovan
Is Bridge the new Lena?
Then she advises him to get ahead of the scandal, leading to the so-stupid-it-sounds-possible Hispes image plan.
Ray seems startled at first but then almost impressed with his daughters fixer skills.
What happens when Bridget has to do the same?
Will Ray still support her?
Daryll Donovan
Daryll cant figure out where he belongs.
But the problem is that Daryll will always consider Mickey his real dad.
Mickey is angry, and he tells Daryll he needs him.
Thats all Daryll wanted to hear.
Thats all so many of us want to hear.
Just to be needed.
The fact that Bridget has Smitty dress up like Hansen feels a little important, right?
Theyre also kind of both immature himbos, way too excited about the dumb Hispes plan.
She has been working consistently and memorably for half a century, and she killed her scene this week.
Keep up the casting of living legends,Ray Donovan.
A third of the way in and its hard to say where this season is going.
The Mayor, who felt like the seasons big bad, seems placated.
So does that mean a war with Jim Sullivan is coming up?
Dont forget that James Woods played Patrick Sully Sullivan way back in season one.
