right now i am going through weeds withdrawl waiting for season 4 to come out on dvd. when californication first came out, i thought i would not like it. david is most famous for his role as fox mulder on the X-files, but in this role, he has moved beyond chasing aliens and looking for his sister, samantha. he really shines as hank moody. after watching season one, he is trying to be a good father to his daughter, becca, and at the same time, trying to woo becca's mother, karen. the humor and the wit shine through and punctuate the series. i am not going to ruin the season ending, but when you watch the "last waltz," episode 12, you will be cheering.

I wasn't quite prepared for the nudity and the language, however, when I got past it, I found the show to be excellent. The plot line is superb. It's supposed to be a comedy-drama but I found it to be very sad. I'm a David Duchovny fan and, although the Hank Moody character is so different from Fox Mulder, Duchovny is a superb actor and he's still gorgeous at the age of 48. I'm not sure yet if I will order the second season.

We loved this series on Showtime, and we are currently enjoying season two. David Duchovny's character of 'Hank' is sort of a modern day Bukowski character...he's a writer who drinks too much, sleeps around too much, and writes too little. This is very adult humor, but all of the parts are acted pretty well, and after a while you kind of root for Hank to win, despite all of his obvious flaws. Recommended for fans of Duchovny, or Bukowski-like story telling.
