Surprised this is such a short thread, brilliant show. Anyone watching the current series?

I am yes. Early night for me tonight so will watch tonight's episode tomorrow. Thoroughly enjoyed this show from the start. I think the last few eps have been literally the only ones I can remember where Ray actually gave a shit about Micky.

Yeah definitely, Abbey's cancer has really made Ray think about family.

Hell yes. TV highlight of the week. Where so many shows drop off a cliff in the 3rd series can always rely on this.

New season starts tonight at 9pm on Sky Atlantic.

opening episode was a bit meh

CrasherKid79 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 19, 2017, 11:30:13 am »

It was quieter than usual but

Spoiler

I think the death of Abby warranted a subdued episode. I'm sure Ray will be totally unhinged now and the old ultraviolence will return for the rest of the season

[close]

Plus Susan Sarandon is awesome in everything.

Good to see the show back but it's been a bit muted by the other seasons standards.

The brothel scene was funny though.

Pistolero · « **Reply #48 on:** August 22, 2017, 08:37:27 am »

The standard of this season has been excellent thus far....mature, darker and more intense than previous. Really don't think this show gets the recognition it deserves (ditto the terrific Liev Schreiber)..in a TV world of high concept, zombies and fantasy bollocks its hardboiled noir is a gritty, welcome relief.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #49 on:** August 23, 2017, 01:37:08 pm »

Just started watching. Bunchy is the most decent Donovan.

Me when Jon Voight does the boxing animation

Yey it's Lili Simmons .... always a sight for sore eyes

Banshee, True Detective and now this again

A cameo on Westworld as well.

I never got through that first time round. Might revisit now the series is done.

CrasherKid79 · « **Reply #54 on:** September 8, 2017, 04:24:18 pm »

Unfortunately this series has disappeared off a cliff. I understood the 1st episodes slow pace, but still having multiple flashbacks after the 4th is piss poor. The story hasn't progressed as its firmly stuck on one past event, unless you count Mickeys fucking book publishing problems as story .... which I dont

Pistolero · « **Reply #55 on:** September 8, 2017, 06:29:49 pm »

loving it personally....don't mind a slow burner as long as the quality is there, which it is...said it before, the show and Schreiber in particular are very much underrated

Nothing happening in this series though.

Huge downgrade. I was expecting Susan Sarandon to be in it more, he's non violent ... he won't fuck Natalie .... what are we here for people?

Liking this season just as much as the previous ones.Always seems to start slow and build towards the end so nothing new here.The only downside is Mickeys not as much of an arse this series,and as much as he does my head in where im constantly tearing my hair out and thinking ''Fucking hell mate,just knock it off ye daft tit'' cos hes a fucking clown.Hes also boss

Farman · « **Reply #61 on:** October 6, 2017, 02:55:02 pm »

Just watched the latest one in the UK - Series 5 Episode 8. Powerful stuff. Brave decision with the big storyline of this series, and I wasn't sure at first, but it has worked.

It's an excellent all-round show. It doesn't have the seat-of-your-pants thrills that some of the other tops shows do, but it's really polished (in a good way) and very watchable.

Yiannis · « **Reply #62 on:** October 7, 2017, 10:02:49 am »

Still in it to see that utter c*nt Avi getting clipped. A glorious, one of a kind chance went missing unfortunately.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #63 on:** October 7, 2017, 02:30:00 pm »

Wasn't enamoured with season 5 so far but that last episode was brilliant & difficult to watch at the same time.

puroresu_kid · « **Reply #64 on:** October 11, 2017, 11:07:31 am »

Slow burner this season but I am enjoying it. Last episode was deep.

Should really get interesting going forward with what happened with Frank.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #65 on:** October 15, 2017, 07:56:51 pm »

Great latest episode, looks like Terry could be in the shit.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #66 on:** October 15, 2017, 08:16:19 pm »

Bunchy needs to get his own spin off show.

The scrapes he gets into are hilarious.

The latest one with the money with Duquesne has been pretty funny.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #67 on:** October 21, 2017, 09:16:39 pm »

Ok big fella, let’s get you some heat.

Mad how Ray did a Richard Keys. Scum.

Sir Capon of Debaser · « **Reply #69 on:** October 24, 2017, 10:23:16 am »

Love the way Ray has just repeated what Micky did to his mum when ill,and Bridge now hates ray for the same reasons he hates his pop:D

RedSince86 · « **Reply #70 on:** October 24, 2017, 01:27:52 pm »

That was chilling what Mick said to Ray on the phone,he really meant that.

Always a good dynamic when those 2 are at loggerheads.

Poor Bunchy though.

Armchair expert · « **Reply #71 on:** October 24, 2017, 02:44:53 pm »

Been a strange sort of season I thought the first 7 or 8 episodes have been the worst in all five seasons it genuinely looked like the actors were bored but since the flashbacks with his wife have largely disappeared it really has kicked up a notch and became the Ray Donavan of old.
And that last scene with Micky on the phone was just brilliant

CrasherKid79 · « **Reply #72 on:** October 24, 2017, 07:20:50 pm »

Awww bloody hell. Did not like the end of episode 9

Agree with all of this.Odd season to be honest

Season finale. Where does it go from here? Bunchy still the best

RedSince86 · « **Reply #76 on:** November 2, 2017, 07:25:01 pm »

Adventures of Ray in NYC next year.

Bunchy needs a spin off of his mishaps in LA.

I felt exactly this all along, but thought for sure I'd be mocked mercilessly on here if I said so

her death scene

was laughable. I think I did laugh, actually. But I am so put off by that horrible Southie accent that I'm not sure how to even look at any of them anymore. I should probably watch it on mute with subtitles. I imagine deaf people probably enjoy this show a lot more than I do, if anyone is able to even puzzle out the dialogue they are murdering to write subtitles.
