Just wondering, does anyone here watch Ray Donovan on Showtime? The second season starts tonight. I think it's a great show with strong performances by Liev Schreiber and Jon Voight. Can't wait!

We don't get any premium channels :( I would for sure watch it if we had Showtime. I like crime/mysteries and it looks like its character driven :)

I've been watching Murder in the First - it's a new crime show that follows Major Crimes on TNT. It's interesting but I'm still not really sure how much I like it lol

You're only 21 posts away from being unmonitored! :)

Aww, I'm sorry! It is very character-driven! Jon Voight's character is absolutely crazy. In fact, the whole family is whacked, lol. As I said, the performances are really great :)

Ooo, Murder in the First must be new, then? Maybe I'll catch an episode! :) (Tom Felton is in this?!? ;)

Haha, thank you for that reminder! That's pretty exciting! :)

Yes, Tom Felton is in it and he's good! not good as in a good guy lol, he's a surprisingly good actor :)

The only problem with Murder in the First is that its a continuing story, you can't just jump in. Only 3 episodes have aired so far and TNT repeats episodes so you can catch up :)

I forgot to plug my ipad in last night so I gots to go for a while :(

Haha, I always liked Tom Felton! :) (It's always good to see the HP kids on screen!) And he likes playing baddies, doesn't he? The last thing I saw him in was Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and his character was a meanie, too.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll find a way to catch up! Maybe I'll try the pilot after work! :)

Oh, no! :O Good thing is I think Ipad's load very quickly! :) )But, I'm one of those people who waits until it's exactly 100% before I start using it LOL).

...have you see the spin-off Time Warner Cable commercial?....

Haha, thanks for showing this! I did not see this! Now, I know who to call when the cable guys give me grief...

I like when TV networks do those "spin-off" commercials that involves their shows. I think Showtime also did one with Homeland and Dexter. USA has a bunch of them.

I watch it - I fancy Liev - he's so hot, but such an a$$ - my favorite. I have Sunday's episode recorded but so far haven't had time to watch. Did you watch? Was it good? I can't remember the cliffhanger from last season.

Liev's a great actor! :) I did! I thought that the first episode was strong; I just can't stand his kids, haha. And Mickey is off his rocker, as usual. If I remember correctly,
Ray is lying down on a beach with his family and his shirt is still bloodied from Avi shooting him

Syfy's Being Human had a couple good spin-off commercials too :)

Correction to my post from yesterday: 5 rather than 3 episodes of Murder in the First had been aired. The 6th episode aired last night.

I miss Being Human :( Oh, right! It was those car commercials, I think?

Thanks! I forgot to watch it yesterday. I'll try to remember today :) I checked TNT's website and they have the pilot up!

Aha - yes, now I remember. thanks! Sometimes my memory just needs a little jiggle and it starts right up. I'm going to try and watch tonight.

I finally watched it - always a pleasure. Like you, I don't like his whiny a$$ kids. My favorite characters are Avi and Lena - I think Katherine Moening is outstanding. I would love to be so cool. I want her job.

With dramas that involve families, I find myself now can't standing the kids. Just to go off topic a little bit, but for example in Homeland, they focused A LOT on Brody's daughter, Dana, and she was whiny and making bad decisions. Did not understand how that was central to the story. Give me more Carrie, Brody and Saul, please, haha. I guess in Ray Donovan--yes, it's about Ray's work as a Hollywood fixer and his family-and just showing more conflict for Ray?

I agree, Lena is amazing! Love the way she handled that singer LOL. That whole bit was funny, imo.

Ray Donovan is kind of boring me this season. Anyone else? I still like Lena and Avi, and the old man who lives across the hall from Mickey. But the rest of it.... I don't know if I'll last another season.
