Beautifully shot, wonderfully written and laugh-out-loud brilliance combine to make this a must-watch show, 18 October 2007
Author: DVD_Connoisseur from England

Two episodes in and I'm hooked. "Californication" is one of the finest new shows out of the US for some time.

With big-screen visuals, a top drawer cast and Duchovny playing his most memorable role (I truly believe Hank Moody eclipses Mulder), this is a true televisual treat.

This second episode has some laugh-out-loud moments but the scenes of quiet humour are just as enjoyable.

UK viewers will note that "The Office"'s Lucy Davis makes her first appearance in this episode.

Without a doubt, one of the best shows on the box. Long may it continue.

"Hank hates you all...", 24 December 2008
9/10
Author: Max_cinefilo89 from Italy

The pilot of Californication was a very bold introduction to the controversial lifestyle of depressed writer Hank Moody. The follow-up, Hell-A Woman, which was heavily criticized for a very explicit (and somewhat disgusting) sex scene, continues in the same direction, with tons of lovable, foul-mouthed humor.

Whle trying to patch his life together, Hank gives in to Charlie's begging and accepts to be a blogger for Hell-A Magazine. Inevitably, his comments are acerbic and reflect his spiteful attitude ("I probably won't go down in history, but I will go down on your sister..."). Then again, Karen ignores his sentimental pleas, Mia keeps bothering him and the luckiest he can get is with a Scientologist (Paula Marshall). Poor fella.

Witty, filthy and deliberately provocative: the three main characteristics of Californication, and the three reasons it's so damn good. The script moves from one explicitly hilarious set-piece to another, relying on the light mood (pardon the pun) and Duchovny's cheerfully self-deprecating work. Brilliant.
