|Hank Moody... No Man Is More Committed To A Midlife Crisis.
"Amen and hallelujah--adults behaving like adults on TV. What a novel idea. Doug Elfman, Chicago Sun-Times
"This is dark comedy at its best. The writing here is rapier sharp with a delivery that is always on target. Home Theater Info
"Duchovny possesses the engaging comic empathy skills to make his Left Coast libertine decidedly witty and likable. Mike Duffy, Detroit Free Press
"Equally funny and sad, Californication is frank, raw, and real. Mike Long, DVD Sleuth

Editor's Note
David Duchovny (THE X-FILES) returns to the small screen as Hank Moody, a hangdog novelist on the skids in L.A. When not hopping into the sack with any woman who bats her eyes at him, Hank struggles to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend, Karen (Natascha McElhone), and their young daughter, Becca (Madeleine Martin). A lingering case of writer's block--due to the abysmal big-screen adaptation of his novel--and the entrance of a new man in Karen's life don?t help matters any. But while chain-smoking and living inside a whiskey bottle, Hank makes a few clumsy steps toward putting his life back on track. With a permanent five o'clock shadow and charmingly slurred speech, Duchovny is perfect as a loveable loser who never quite loses the audience's sympathy. This second season finds Hank getting back together with Karen, although their reconciliation is quickly put into jeopardy by the usual cause: an over-imbibed Hank.

Californication: The Complete Second Season - DVD Review

| As good a show about hedonism in balance with family values as I’ve seen, Showtime’s Californication is a smart and sometimes pretentious peek at what happens when a New York writer with a veritable fleet of addictions moves to California to raise his daughter and attempt a relationship with the “love of his life.” David Duchovny stars as Hank Moody, author of God Hates Us All and possessor of absolutely no self-control. His daughter, Becca Moody (Madeleine Martin), is along for the ride watching all of her father’s ups and downs. Also in the mix is Becca’s mother and Hank’s long-term on-and-off-and-on-again girlfriend Karen (Natascha McElhone)....read the full review | |

| Gear up for more outrageous Southern Californian hijinks with Californication: The Second Season. Picking up several months after the end of the previous series, the second season finds sexaholic writer Hank Moody (David Duchovny, in his best role since The X-Files) reunited with his true love, Karen (Natascha McElhone). So far, life has been great for both Hank and Karen — as well as their daughter, Becca (Madeline Martin). But the days of sunshine and happiness soon go awry following a disastrous party at the mansion of music king Lew Ashby (Callum Keith Rennie), who hires Hank to write his biography....read the full review | |
