Really digging a new Showtime series, Ray Donovan. All the ingredients I like and reminds me of a Sopranos or The Brotherhood type of series. Jon Voight is also in it. Lots of subplots going on every episode. If I had to list two negatives, it would be the Elliot Gould character and Ray's wife, who is really channeling the whole Carmela Soprano vibe, and butchering the Boston accent.
Reading an excellent novel, Angel Baby, by Richard Lange, who wrote one of the best short story caollections I have ever read, Dead Boys: Stories. Warner Brothers has snatched up the screen option rights to Angel Baby. Great news for Richard and I wish him much luck with getting it to the screen.
