Comedy Review - Californication

A gem hidden away on channel 5. Initially I saw a new comedy was being broadcast on channel 5 and usually I won’t bother to watch it just because of the poor quality of comedy channel 5 usually transmits. I read some good reviews and was intrigued to inspect it. What you need to know about this show is

1. It features David Duchovny from X Files fame
2. It features David Duchovny having lots of sex with good looking women
3. It has nothing to do with the Red Hot Chilli peppers song/album and in fact they are a bit miffed about the title and are currently suing.
4. DD (David Duchovny) is transformed from science fiction nerd to uber cool womanising, drinking writer who has writers block and instead spends most of his time drinking and chasing skirt

The show is about DD as who is a Hank Moody (don’t judge its better than you think) cranky wise cracking novelist who’s book has been made into a cheesy romantic movie which Hank hates. The stories is roughly based around Hank trying to write and also trying to win back his former lover whom he has a 12 year old girl with. The Daughter is usually used in the plot to get Hank to see his former lover and try and wooo her back, unfortunately for Hank she is seeing a boring fellow and so there is no room for Hank in the in.

There is not much on supporting cast, you have Hanks agent who is torn between spanking his secretary and trying to bump start his marriage with his wife. You also have the boring fellows 16 year old daughter who Hank gets it on with and now often has to do her biding to keep her quite.

The description of the show can’t really do it justice because I watch the show and when it ends I am usually a bit disappointed that it has finished so quickly, despite it being 30 minutes long.

I recommend you watch this, David Duchovny is very good and his character is interesting as he goes round wise cracking and insulting people. Not a lot happens in each episode but enough to keep you entertained.
