This series includes an amazing group of unlikeable, obnoxious, rude, unpleasant and offensive characters . . . that only their mothers would love. (And I'm not sure even their mothers would like the way they turned out). At least in the Sopranos, even though the guys were criminals, the guys and their wives and children were real people. They even went to shrinks.
In this first series, we find Ray Donovan( the nicest guy of the bunch) as Los Angeles troubleshooter who is asked to solve problems for very unpleasant rich and famous clients, but can't seem to fix the problems caused by his own horribly obnoxious family. Also among his problems, Ray must deal with his father (Jon Voight, a real ugly character), who was released early from prison. Meanwhile, there is Ezra (Elliott Gould) who is either demented or has a brain tumor.
Real Bad stuff.
