“Ray Donovan: Season Three”
The reason film actors are willing to make the move to television is because of shows like this series. Liev Schreiber has taken a break from films to play the Boston native who makes the problems of celebrities, superstar athletes and business moguls disappear. In this third season, Donovan must face the harsh reality that his actions have consequences. The power and command that Schreiber brings to the character, whether it be at the major highs or lows, is the central strength of the series.
“Shameless: The Complete Fifth Season”
This other Showtime series is another superb reason Oscar-nominated actors such as William H. Macy will work on TV. Macy’s Frank Gallagher is an alcoholic father of six close-knit and street-smart kids who will do whatever it takes to survive and stay together. Macy breathes life into the character every week. The DVD features all 12 episodes plus bonus content, including two featurettes and deleted scenes.
