Featured review
Everybody hates Raymond.
When the story begins, a mother and her young son (Billy Mumy) are at the beach. When the mother isn't looking, the boy wanders out too far in the water and nearly drowns. Fortunately (or maybe not) a stranger swims out and saves the boy. The mother is naturally grateful and invites the man home to have dinner with the family. At first, things are wonderful...but after a while, Ray (Robert Sterling) is a most unwanted houseguest. In fact, he is a bit of a pig...and he soon begins making unwanted passes at the maid and others....and seems like a dangerous sort of guy. Finally, the family has had enough and want him to go...whether he saved the kid or not. And then, that's when Ray begins threatening them.
This story is very difficult to believe. While a family might be in debt to a guy like this at first, Ray clearly is a sex offender and creep. I cannot imagine why they put up with this for so long and it really seemed poorly written. It was also poorly written when Ray attacked the husband...and the wife just stood there doing nothing...hoping the hubby would prevail! And, with the other husband whose wife is attacked by Ray...well, his reaction is confusing and doesn't make a lot of sense. And, after all this, they STILL didn't contact the police!! And, what happens next...well that is REALLY hard to believe!! So, when the twist occurs, it was just too late for me. As a result of the poor writing, I found myself feeling irritated with the show after a while...and just lost interest.
