8. Ray Donovan

Ray Donovan is a “fixer,” sort of like Olivia Pope on Scandal, except instead of helping politicians, he works for the Hollywood elite. Everyone from celebrities to athletes turns to Ray to help make their problems disappear overnight.

Before becoming a fixer, Ray worked as a thug in South Boston. While his new job pays him a lot more, he can’t quite shake his past or the enemies he made along the way. Sadly, Ray Donovan was recently canceled, shocking its fans.

However, the show’s star has encouraged fans to keep talking about the series in hopes that Showtime will change its mind, another service might pick it up, or that fans could at least get a wrap-up film of some kind. Recently, Schrieber teased that a Season 8 might end up happening after all.

7. Billions

Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti star as hedge-fund king Bobby Axelrod and attorney Chuck Rhoades in this high-stakes drama. Chuck and Bobby play an intense game of cat-and-mouse as Chuck tries to nail Bobby for insider trading.

He’s never lost a case before, but Bobby proves to be more slippery than an eel, with a loyal staff that is hard to crack. The series also stars Maggie Siff as Chuck’s wife, Wendy, a psychiatrist that also works as the performance coach at Bobby’s company, causing a conflict of interest that her husband tries to use against Bobby.
