DVD Review

In Hank Moody(David Duchovny), New York novelist-turned -screenwriter who years ago sold his soul to Hollywood, now in existential purgatory,we have a character reminiscent of dozens of movies. Paradoxically,though,this witty,acerbic comedy feels almost revelatory on the small screen. Duchovny is in the cornerstone role of jaded romantic - albeit one who shags every woman he meets. The only real miscalculation here is to over-egg it's 'soft centre',landing poor Madeleine Martin (as Hank's daughter of 13) with more than a few diabetically dangerous saccharine moments (including a hideous rug-pulling final frame). The pros,however,vastly outweigh that con, and ironically for a show set in the smog-ridden sprawl of LA, Californication is a breath of fresh air.

This review appears in the July issue of the UK's Empire magazine 3  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?
