It��s Schreiber��s, and especially Voight��s, performances that make Ray Donovan in its early going. (I��ve seen five episodes. ) Schreiber plays Ray as a beleaguered badass whose menace is all in a day��s work. He carries himself like a younger version of Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad, the professional tough guy who��s both empathetic and scary precisely because there��s nothing personal about his violence; it��s a job, and he��d rather spare himself and his targets the trouble. (It��s when his investigations become personal�Cas with his dad�Cthat he gets himself into trouble. ) And Voight makes post by haiyan604 Mickey more than a cartoon heavy, with ample help from the dialogue. (The show��s created by Southland��s Ann Biderman, who wrote the pilot. ) We see early on what brutality he��s capable of, and how badly he��s messed up the lives of his kids and by extension the people in their lives. Yet he��s a kind of charming sociopath, and there��s something almost endearing in his effort to be the same virile middle-aged tough guy he went into prison as��Voight even carries himself as if he physically believes himself 20 years younger than he is. (His time-warp existence manifests hilariously at a public library, where he discovers that, since he went in the joint, the world has given us both the World Wide Web and twerking videos. ) But after five episodes, Ray Donovan is still some good performances in search of a show. It feels made up of pieces of other antihero dramas�Ca little Sopranos here, a little Brotherhood there, even a little Entourage around the edges. Ray is so far too much a cipher to be an engaging focal character, and his flaws and failings are those of so many middle-aged cable ass-kickers in the past decade. Meanwhile, the culture-clash angle, nike air max australia between phony L. A. and real-as-a-brick South Boston, just makes both elements feel more caricatured. (Malcolmson, so excellent in dramas like Deadwood, does her best in the Tough Southie Lady box the show puts Abby into. ) The show is best, actually, when it cracks its brooding, Oedipal, serious-drama glumness and struts its stuff as the slightly weirder story of Mickey, the senior citizen on the make trying to fit back into the free world. In these moments��one in episode 5, say, where Mickey finds himself unwinding un-self-consciously on the dance floor of a gay bar��Ray Donovan feels less like a pastiche and a creation in itself. The show is called Ray Donovan, not Mickey Donovan, though. And here too, Ray can��t yet escape the shadow of the old man.
