'You can’t always get what you want.' The Rolling Stones may have said it best, and it seems to be writer Hank Moody’s theme song. David Duchovny (X Files) was born to play this sly, sarcastic, self-loathing, and--despite all the meaningless sex, booze, and fist fights--kind character. Writer Moody hates the Los Angeles world he lives in; a world that turned his sharp best-seller into a cheesy date movie, where his young daughter and should-have-been wife (Natascha McElhone) are slipping away into the hands of a rich play-it-safe guy, and where everything he truly wants seems just out of his reach. But the man hasn’t lost all hope. 'Happy endings may get a bad rap, but they do happen,' he assures his daughter. 'And when they do, they’re just as true as the unhappy ones.' One can’t help but hope Hank finds his happy ending, because it's with his family that his soft side surfaces. Hank takes no shame in trying to woo back his 'wife' Karen, even if it is in front of her new fiancé. He knows he’s meant to be with her--plain and simple--and there’s a glint in her eye that always makes you wonder if she’s really thinking the same thing. And his daughter Becca? Well, any guy would melt against this guitar-wielding cutie (played by the adorable Madeleine Martin), but Hank really captures the 'I’ll kick a lot of ass for my daughter' mentality that so many dads harbor. He’s also fully prepared to drop a gorgeous woman at a moment’s notice to heed his daughter’s call.
The rest of the cast, including Evan Handler (Sex and the City) and Pamela Adlon (Lucky Louie), provide some surprisingly interesting and hilarious side stories. Just when it seems situations in this show can’t get any more ludicrous or disgusting, they most certainly do. That’s the beauty of it. Californication is a dark, coarse, edgy adult comedy. It’s also very real, and quite intelligent. --Jordan Thompson

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Looking for a cockpunch?
This show has absolutely no redeeming value to it, except that there are a whole lot of big fake boobies bouncing around. It is not clever. It is not funny. The mangled versions of music we love are not art. I love David Duchovney and Mulder like any young woman. I love boobies and clever comedy like any young woman. But this. show. is. completely. stupid.
There it is.
Rating:  - Feisty, sexy and hilariously funny...
Maybe it's due to the fact that I was born and raised in Europe, that I find this show not at all shocking. Duchovny's character is quite common over here and it's best to take them with a good laugh. Underneath all this broken up, f.cked up image he depicts, there is a little lost boy. But, as in life, not everybody can be saved. I think this show is very funny, finally an intelligent adult series. I hate all these cleaned up versions of happy-go-lucky soap operas, where nobody ever uses a bad word, ... Read More
Rating: - A great transaction
It's a great DVD and a great company to deal with. The transaction was smooth and efficient. Will do business with again!
Rating: - Duchovny X-cels in this X-cellent and seXy show
**Ok, forgive the title. I am just such a huge X-Files fan, I couldn't help myself.**
As a major Mulder fan, I love David Duchovny. I was a little skeptical of "Californication" at first. I thought it might be one of those T and A shows for men --with no substance. But I quickly fell in LOVE with this melancholy yet funny, sexy, sweet show. I even love the artsy and moody (no pun intended) opening shots and music.
I always knew Duchovny had range X-ceeding beyond Mulder, which he proved ... Read More
Rating: - Warning: Californication has Sex, Drugs, and Intelligence.
"A morning of awkwardness is far better than a night of loneliness."--Hank Moody
The fact that Family First has called for a boycott of this Showtime series for its depiction of sex, drugs, alcohol, and "innuendo" is reason enough to experience it. Created by Tom Kapinos (Dawson's Creek) and produced by Scott Winant (My So-Called Life; thirtysomething), Californication stars David Duchovny (The X-Files) as 30-something novelist, Hank Moody, whose move to LA and writer's slump complicate his ...
