Californication
Writers are a strange breed. The good ones are disheveled, creative, brilliant and a little bit crazy. I always find it interesting to see how Hollywood portrays writers in movies and comedy series. Showtime has hit the nail on the head in Californication a new weekly comedy about a writer.
Californication is about Hank Moody played by David Duchovny, a writer from New York transplanted to Los Angeles and hating every minute of his LA life. Moody is a great name for this character. His book was turned into a successful movie that he hates and now he has a severe case of writer’s block. Hank is still in love with his ex-girlfriend, he’s trying to be a good father to his twelve-year-old daughter and he’s losing himself in casual sex. A lot of casual sex. It reminds me of that great line from Finding Forrester, “Jamal: Women will sleep with you if you write a book? Forrester: Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book.” Hank Moody is living that line in spades. He says what he thinks no matter how off the wall it may be and it works. And yet underneath all the women and the crazy situations, lurks a good heart and a creative soul.
And I'm happy to see Evan Handler in another great show.
I haven’t been this excited about a show since HBO’s Sex and the City and Entourage. To steal a line from my guy friends, Californication rocks the monu-cock with its writing! It’s smart, hilarious, and pushes the boundaries the way Sex and the City did. David Duchovny has found a part he was born to play, he’s irreverent and endearingly sexy at the same time. You can’t help but fall in love with his bad boy/good guy persona.
I love how blogging has been incorporated into the show with Hank taking a job blogging for HelL A magazine. If Hollywood is blogging, then blogging has truly arrived.
Californication is on Showtime Monday nights at 10:30 PM. It’s definitely a show for adults with graphic language and nudity so put your kids to bed beforehand. Tune in and watch Californication you won’t be disappointed!
