One of my favorite shows, May 10 2012

This review is from: Californication S1-4: Four Sea (DVD)
David Duchovny's character is wonderfully flawed; He's intelligent, extremely funny and has a big heart, but for some reason, can't say no to drugs, alcohol or women. He was also unable to commit to the love of his life/mother of his child, so she left him. The show starts out with Hank Moody (David Duchovny)trying desparatly to win her back. He sill has a grip on her heart, but his flaws keep pushing her away. This is one of the central themes to the show, through every season thus far.
One of Moody's other traits, which I can very much relate to, is that he doesn't have patients for public displays of rudeness/ignorance. He'll often react in the best way possible (some of these reactions might have gone through my head had I witnessed such displays, but I don't think I'd carry them out!) Such situations often end in my laughter and his imprisonment.
Californication isn't necessarily for children. There is frequent foul language, drug/alcohol use, and nudity/sex. Anyone watching it, however, will probably see past that and find something very human in this show. Watching Hank Moody try and try again is sometimes painful, and sometimes very inspiring. Some things I take from this show is that maybe we as people need to be a little more thoughtful of others, and at the same time, maybe embrace a little more "political incorrectness."
I could probably expand on all that quite a bit, but I'm sure everyone would just rather watch the show than read my ramblings!

Got this for my husband for Christmas....BEST GIFT EVER! He was so thrilled, and we both loved every minute of watching it! we had been living out of the country and never seen it, caught a few reruns once on a trip home....GREAT show! Tad raunchy at times, but hey, we are not prudes by any means ;) Funny, naughty, entertaining...pretty sure every man wishes for the life of Hank Moody...
