Great build up at the end to Ray being beaten (baseball bat, Ray's favorite choice of tool.) Was that Aerosmith performing their song Dream On at the end, or was another group doing it as a cover? Sounded like it might have been a different rendition, with a less scratchy voice. I appreciate when other singers do covers. One of my favorite renditions of a cover is how Tori Amos does Over The Rainbow.
As a show, Ray Donovan has great aesthetics; it's gritty but it never sacrifices style. Kingdom is an example of a gritty show that, unlike Ray, did end up having to sacrifice some style.
"Dad, why are you at a psych ward? Dad?!"
"I forgot to eat. It was a misunderstanding."
It's funny how far Ray will go to de-escalate tension. He turns the emotion dial down so hard the dial breaks off.
Out of all my favorite anti-heroes, Ray is the most taciturn by far, a trait that seems to be driving everyone away in droves this season. Ray takes space without asking, then expects people to still be loyal and not question him. Mostly he's in the right, but sometimes he's asks too much.
