Sneak Peek: Who Did You Kill?

"Easily the best episode of the sixth season of Ray Donovan and one of the best episodes in the show’s history, 'The Dead' smoothly ties up a lot of the threads of this year while leaving enough dangling for the next."

"...'The Dead' is a solid finale, one that takes the Donovan family and moves them into new, interesting spaces. It’s more emotional than most episodes, and that begins with Ray calling his father and asking him if he truly loved their mother. Mickey goes on and on about how much he loved her, and how he was nothing compared to her, but he balks at Ray’s insistence that he was never there for them. They have different perspectives, and that will influence so much of what happens in this episode."
