Features: DVD
The most talked about show of 2007 comes to DVD! David Duchovny returns to TV with his Golden Globe-winning portrayal of author Hank Moody in the critically-acclaimed Showtime hit Californication. Author Hank Moody's life is spinning gloriously out of control as he juggles his sex and drug addictions while raising a daughter and trying to win back the love of his life in this edgy new series. Catch up with this 2-disc set containing all 12 of the first season's smart and sexy episodes plus free streaming of new episodes of Showtime favorites Dexter and The Tudors.
"...the series feels like a logical companion to "Weeds" -- a show that's also star-driven and equally sour." Brian Lowry, Variety
"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 (X-FILES) returns to the small screen as Hank Moody, a hangdog novelist on the skids in L.A. in both his career and family life. When not hopping into the sack with any woman who gives him the time of day, Hank struggles to connect with his ex-girlfriend, Karen (Natascha McElhone), and their young daughter, Becca (Madeleine Martin). A painful case of writer's block resulting from his novel's disastrous film adaptation, plus Karen's new beau, don't help matters any. But along the way Hank makes a few clumsy steps toward putting his life back in order. Duchovny, with a permanent five o'clock shadow, is perfect as a loveable loser, prone to bouts of drinking and drugs, but never losing the audience's sympathy. This collection presents all 12 episodes of the whimsical series' first season.
