Ray Donovan can be summed up it one word: 'Bunchy.' That character carries the show. Maybe one day there will be a spin-off called The Bunchy Bunch. We can only hope. The non-Bunchy characters are fine, too. Mickey Donovan is forever getting into mischief and Terry is a lovable boxer. Ray is a man of few words and can solve any situation with his baseball bat. Poor Abby is always getting cheated on and Ray's kids, Bridget & Conner, sometimes get a little annoyed with their gruff, philandering dad. There is also an exciting half-brother Darrell who was sired by Mickey with a mistress. Sprinkle in a bunch of other peripheral characters and we have a rather fun show that I believe is now on Season #6. How time flies. So come for the Bunchy and stay for the Boston accents and the pedophile priests.

You've reached the end.
