The greatest strength of the Ray Donovan is the personal growth that Ray Donovan (Liev Schreiber) has  gone through throughout the first four seasons of the series. That looks as though it will continue with Season 5.

Then there are the series’ weaknesses. Some aspects of Ray Donovan began playing it fast and loose with logic during Season 3 and the situation didn’t improve with Season 4.

Here is one of the greatest problems with Ray Donovan right now, a problem that does not plague The Walking Dead: Ray Donovan foolishly advertises that main new characters will only be a part of the series for one season (“a season-long arc”). So no matter what happens, 90-100% of these new people, these new characters, will be gone by the time episode ten ends and episode 1 of the next season begins.

Why tell your audience that? How does that benefit your show?

The Walking Dead never does that. Because of that, the viewer has no idea how long a character will or will not be on the series. Characters leave for a season or two on The Walking Dead then show up again. On Ray Donovan, that situation does not exist and I have no idea why they advertise it.

Ray Donovan: Season 5 also stars Paula Malcomson, Eddie Marsan, Katherine Moennig, Pooch Hall, Kerris Dorsey, Devon Bagby, Brian White, Adina Porter, Rhys Coiro, Tara Buck, C. Thomas Howell, and Dominique Columbus.
