Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

frederiklysgaard It's truly phenomenal, the perfect combination of entertaining, humourous, and thought provoking storylines. The eventful journey through the life of antihero Hank Moody is filled with twist and turns and a seemingly endless stream of bad decisions. Many people get thrown of by the nudity and calls it softcore pornography, it's so much more than nudity, and the nudity is essential to portray his life. After all sex is a part of the life of adults, especially lonely men who can't keep his life together, but his ability to get women. You can't help but love Hank, he is funny, cool, and he has a good heart. Yet his ability to find himself in the worst of situations and his endless battles with himself and the loneliness/self loathing he feels, is an eternal conflict in the family and harms his relationship to his daughter and "baby mama".All that combined with amazing and funny characters such as Hank's best friends Runkle, and the seriousness of relationships, fatherhood, failure, self loathing and loneliness, sarcasm, and amazingly well written script. This is a clear 10/10 definitely one of the best shows to every hit a TV-screen.

trish-64 I gave up on this series during series 6 - the episode on the plane. This was the point at which the characters became mere caricatures and the show descended into farce as the writers ran out of ideas. It started out OK - series one and two were quite good, though probably too explicit for some (sex, after all, is what the show is about). Series three went off the boil a bit - Duchovny's attractions just aren't sufficient to believe he would attract ALL of these women, especially given his age (when I was a student, I wouldn't have touched any man over 23 with a bargepole, frankly). Charlie's relationship with his boss was just stupid, but the series had some strong plot arcs that made up for it. Series four was when I started to get annoyed, as I just didn't believe Hank's lawyer would behave like this, though the trial denouement was interesting, but series five was much better, with the characters' bad behaviours and poor life choices coming home to roost. However, series six totally lost the plot - there are only so many ways that writers can find to keep principal characters apart so such issues tend to become contrived when a show outlives its natural lifespan; Natascha McElhone was given virtually nothing to do except roll her eyes; the rock stars and their wives were just caricatures. Meanwhile, Charlie by now had become a character that existed only for bad things to happen to, including his small penis/bent penis/premature ejaculation/baldness/general sliminess. So, I gave up. Shame. If they'd stopped at series 3, perhaps, my memories of this show would be better, but overall I wasted a bit too much time on it.

denvergrown303 I get the premise of this show and was hooked for the first two seasons. After that I realized the over-arching story never changed. Frank Moody is a selfish human being who can't ever say no to any of his indulgences, even when he knows it's going to hurt his daughter or friends. While each season had some unique themes and story development the primary recipe remained the same: A woman or drug (or both) tempts him, he can't say no, close friend or family gets hurt, and then they forgive him. Rinse and repeat. It got to the point that I started loathing the protagonist for his repeated and wanton transgressions. I also stopped feeling any sympathy for his friends and family after they let him burn them or the 29th time. At some point you're the one to blame for allowing him to walk all over you. By the final season I was hoping all the characters' karma would dump back them in a fitting ending. I hoped Frank Moody was killed in a fiery car accident (SPOILER ALERT: he doesn't), his agent would get HIV, and his family would all live meaningless, empty lives, befitting their meaningless, empty characters. Also the sheer volume of sex he and his agent has is ludicrous. Every woman they meet, regardless of circumstance, throws themselves at them (SPOILER ALERT: Even underage girls). It's like a 14 year boy's fever dream.

TheUniquePerception If you have either live the edge, known those who did or wished you could, this series will provide a lot of entertainment mileage. Each episode contains at least one or two great laugh out loud moments. The shock and awe remain strong for the first four seasons despite the urge to fast forward past almost any scene featuring the daughter Becca. The character and actress are both out of place in this series. The good news is that Californication can now be streamed so you can fast forward past the parts that kill the momentum. The vast majority of the scenes are delightfully bizarre and shocking for those in the audience that are overstimulated thereby requiring more excitement to have a thrill or a laugh. The small roles for well known celebs are a wonderful bonus. There is also a long lasting undercurrent of real character development that may seem overshadowed by the roller coaster ride. All in all, I enjoyed most of the series, but I only began watching after being told that I resemble the main character Hank Moody. After watching, I am partially flattered, a little embarrassed and strangely encouraged upon realizing that I share a few too many character flaws / trait with Hank. Party on!
