Sixty Second Review

Right from the get go we knew that Californication was different, that it came to the forefront to offer something different. And we welcomed it with open arms. Californication offered something fresh, raw and extremely exciting. Californication was ground breaking. Crude in a sense yes, but there was so much more under the surface.

This caused a lot of ripples in the religious communities and again I'd like to say: Don't like the content, don't watch the show! Sure there may have been a few naked ladies, but at the core this was a love story. A man trying to get his family back together.

What a ride, from the get go, I was hooked. The show being renewed when it hadn't even finished was an excellent sign. The writers kept it fresh, kept it real. The season was next to flawless, there is really nothing to improve on.

With this in mind I seriously look forward to season two and wonder how things will end for Hank & Karen. If you can handle a little chilli in your hot dog then Californication is a show you shouldn't miss. Until next time...

Californication has delivered episode in episode out. There hasn't been a low point, nothing but getting better and better each and every episode. Sure some might find things a little crude, ok maybe very crude. But life is crude, depending how you live it.

This is my favourite show of the year, characters that just leap off the page into your living room. Stories that are unreal yet so believable. Everything that a TV show should be, that is Californication.

What an ending, never a dull moment! I look forward to seeing what happens next! Good night Californication until next time!

Between the graphic sex scenes this show has a soul. Its truly pure at heart. There is no way that Karen is meant to be with Bill, it is clear to us viewers, I only hope that Karen can pick up on this before its too late. See how much this show gets to me? They are characters on a Television Show I'm talking like they are real people.

Next week is the season finale, and I'm worried about what will become of the Karen & Hank story. This is fast becoming my favourite series of the year. The characters are so true to life.

Only next week's episode will provide us with the answers and the fate of Karen & Hank.

Well if the Church groups weren't mad, they are now! What a ground breaking episode. Where no other episode has gone before Californication is the first to bring your attention to this little hop topic...

Besides that what a great plot twist. Mia is claiming the novel as her own and getting it published with Hank's own publisher!

Another cutting edge episode with story to back it.

Look I've already expressed that I am a complete fan of this show. But things just keep getting better and better. Hank is so determined to get things back on track with Karen. Rumkle goes home to make right with his wife only to find that she's sleeping with the enemy.

This is why we watch television, to be caught up in other people's stories. For one hour to be lost in someone else's troubles. To escape our everyday lifes. And Californication delivers ten fold. What an ending! Hanks new book left in the hands of Mia. Him brand new car stolen & novel stolen!

This is television pay dirt people, television pay dirt!

This episode we see into Hank's past, into his relationship with his father and also why Karen & Hank didn't work out. I love the style that the past is presented in. It has this edgy bright retro feel to it.

Again with a touch of comedy and adult references the story is brought to life in only a way that Californication can get away with. Each and every week Californication brings something new to the screen and that is what keeps me coming back.

Witty writing, great stories and even better characters. What will they have in store next week?

We open this episode with the depressing thought that happy endings don't exist. Hank sees this as a mission to improve his daughters outlook on life. Madeleine Martin plays Beccca so well, at the tender age of 15. She has the striking image which resembles Emily Strange.

Really another great episode with witty dialogue and new plot twists.

What makes this show so good? Clever writing, dialogue that make you think. Dialogue that make you go 'uh that makes complete sense'. We've got all of these complex relationships going on. Yet people still surprise you once in a while.

I can't think of a single bad thing about Californication. If you're not already on board get a ticket, cause you're missing out!

So many people have just labelled this as trash and continue to do so. This episode say otherwise. The on screen chemistry between Hank and Karen is smoking hot. They just click with each other, its beautiful. Also super impressed with Becca, she plays her role has the 'finding her place in the world' teenager so well.

The writers are opening so many doors of different ways the show could go, they are already holding a few story lines up their sleeves. This show is only going to get more interesting as time goes on.

If you haven't seen an episode now is the time to jump in head first!

Just when you thought Hank was all silk sheets and hand cuffs we get an episode like this one. We're shown that Hank is more that the contents of his pants. Coming to the rescue of ladies in distress - his ex-girlfriend, his girlfriend and his daughter.

The core message of this episode was that Hank's character has depth and will do anything for the people he cares about.

I think the appeal of this show is that Hank is close to hitting bottom and doesn't care. The only reason he wants to fight his way back to the top is because of his daughter and his pure want of his family to live happily ever after.

Look sure, things are a little crude sometimes, but that adds to the appeal of the show. Life is crude. Television is about escaping the normalcy of everyday life.

I'm really enjoying this show and look forward to watching the rest of Hank's adventures. (I had to modify the name of this episode so it didn't set off blogger alarm bells).

Slowing down a little from last episode and we got a better idea of who Hank Moody is. Clearly a hit with the ladies, but has to 'lower' himself to blogging. Hank's world is far from stable.

Hank's world is engaging, he clearly has no control over any part of his life. The overall style of the episode with its cut scenes are modern, raw and retro at the same time. With a great use of music throughout. I'm enjoying the journey and its only beginning.

Another juicy titbit from Showtime. If the opening ten minutes of this show doesn't get your attention nothing will. Hank Mooney, a womanising, slugging writer who is desperate to get his family back into his life but is clueless how to.

No time is wasted in introducing us to the characters we're thrown in head first, we hit the ground running but everything falls into place. We instantly have a picture of Hank's life as it stands. His work, his active sex life, his friends, his daughter and ex-girlfriend.

It's in your face, it doesn't pull any punches. Its got a lot of attitude but at the core, beneath the exposed flesh is a story about a man wanting his family to be whole again. It's not mainstream television and that's why it works. Keep watching, I will be.
