The only words I can use to describe Showtime's Californication would be sexual situational comedy with a family element thrown in... Did that make sense? No? Well, it's much simpler than it sounds. And honestly it's totally hilarious.
The show follows the exploits of author Hank Moody, a New Yorker living in California, legendary womanizer, and all around smart ass/asshole to most. That's honestly all you need to know about the characters; much like House, it's one of those shows where you have one amazing character and most events revolve around people reacting to him and his behavior.
On it's fourth season now the writing still seems oddly fresh. Most shows go through cast or locale changes by this point just to keep the viewer into it. But CF has managed to keep at least me totally into Hank's exploits. The show just feels consistent throughout the four seasons, other than Hank's daughter Becca's sudden growth spurts between seasons you'd think that they were totally continuous.
Californication is definitely in my top five shows. It's just one of those shows that literally makes me laugh out loud constantly. The characters are all very lovable... And when one comes up that you don't like, your love for the other ones just makes you not care. And if season five, and hopefully six keep coming in the same fashion then I can't see myself not staying hooked.
9/10
