Ray Donovan came back on Showtime tonight in fine form. He and his family are still in New York. One of the dead heads comes up in bag from wherever it exactly was in the waters around the city. Ray says, don't worry, we'll get ahead of it. Hence my title for this review.
In case you don't recall, the head is from one of the crooked cops who was killed late last season. Even though he was crooked, the police who are still alive want to know how that head got to be in the water, after it was shot and severed from its body. Totally understandable.
But that's not the only problem Ray is dealing with. He has to make sure Mick doesn't get lost on the way to prison - if he did, Bunch would be in trouble. And, as you know if you've seen the episode (if not, oops, sorry for the spoiler), Ray apparently ends up a lot worse than lost. He ends up dead.
Except, I'm a firm believer that, when you're dealing with television drama, if you don't see a head literally blown to bits, the head and its owner could still be alive. We saw Ray in the coming attractions punching someone who showed up at his door. I'm predicting that either that's Mick, or, if not, he'll pop up alive someplace else.
What else is going in the family? Bridget doesn't want to be married anymore. Terry's trying some new age stuff to get his Parkinson's under control (I thought for a second that I flashed back in time and was watching something from the season before last on The Affair, also on Showtime). But, anyway, we have the makings of a good new Ray Donovan season here, and I'll be happy to see it and keep reviewing it here.

It started in the hot summer of 1960, when Marilyn Monroe walked off the set of The Misfits and began to hear a haunting song in her head, "Goodbye Norma Jean" ...
