Californication

     This show makes me want to move to LA and become a tortured writer. Hank Moody (David Duchovny) just seems to be the coolest guy in the world. He's just a guy trying to keep his life and family together while his own inner demons just turn him towards every bad decision. While being sexy as all hell.
      So he writes a book and a finds stardom from it then he moves to LA with his family and then life starts to fall a part. His wife leaves him and he struggles to keep being to be a father but to honest he is a shitty father and husband but maintains being awesome person. He is a total slut of a man who sleeps with at least half of the good looking girls the show up on the show. 
     What captivates me most about this show is the turn it is taking as season 4 is ending. Somehow Hank manages to make you still root for him even after he is convicted as a child rapist. I know it sounds really bad and hard to believe but the girl (Madeline Zima) was 17 and she looked 23 and ridiculously hot. Well he sleeps with her and the finds out she is the daughter of his ex-wifes new husband and then he writes a book about it and then the girl he slept with steels the book from him gets it published and alot of shit happens and it comes to life that he slept with a minor and then gets convicted for it. That is the basic story of the most current events. 
     People may come back at me and and say that after everything that happens he is a miserable man who losses his family and had little to nothing to live for. That is all true but one episode of his life is more interesting then than most peoples life times. 
     I don't know how he keep sane through everything thing that happens but he does and is more broken and stronger for it. Season 4 ends with thing being as good as they can get for Hank witch is just about straddling mediocre. He looses his family and is alone but also has a new movie being made and is not going to have to live the next years of his life as White Power Bill's bitch (Arrested Development Ref).
     Driving off in to the sunset I found myself thinking that I hope Hank is going to be OK and this show will get a fifth season.
