Wow, it feels like forever since I sat down to write anything (I’ve got over a dozen drafts on here but haven’t sat down to finish any of them, shame on me!). I’ve been going over my favorite shows since I’ve missed a few episodes here and there and one in specific popped out at me, Californication. If you haven’t seen it then you are missing out on a truly unique experience.
The show is about a man named Hank Moody, played by David Duchovny, a quasi-successful writer with a bad case of writers block who looses himself in the world of fame, sex-addiction, alcohol, and the occasional drug abuse. Basically it’s David Duchovny playing…… David Duchovny! What makes the show very appealing is how the super charming protagonist (Hank) truly has good intentions at heart but always finds a way to mess everything up. One of the most memorable moments in the show is at the end of Season 3 when something (no spoilers!) huge happens and there’s nothing but “Elton Johns Rocket Man” playing with barely any dialogue; just a beautiful yet tragic season finale (you can check out the song Here! ) If you’re looking for a show on Netflix, I encourage you to pick this one up, you will not be disappointed.
