Ray Donovan: “Same Exactly”  Ray Donovan: “Same Exactly”   Ray
Donovan  “Same Exactly”  · S1 / E12  Ray Donovan had so much
faith in its season finale, “Same Exactly,” that it aired it
right across from an hour of tonight’s broadcast of the Emmy
awards. A strange choice, because Ray Donovan is a show that
Showtime wants to be one of its award-winning prestige dramas.
But unfortunately I doubt that praise is forthcoming. “Same
Exactly” is a disappointing end to this first season, and
doesn’t promise much of interest for the future.  As strong as
the past few episodes of Ray Donovan have been, the show is
unfortunately too ill-conceived to be anything more than a
curiosity. “Same Exactly” fittingly repeats many of the flaws of
the first half of this season, muddling through an hour of
television that doesn’t seem connected much to anything that
happened in this season to date or even to anything else in the
episode. “Same Exactly” tries very hard to be conclusive while
still leaving a door open for whatever mig
