Californication Season 6 Review - More of the same
Californication season 6 review
Who can
believe that it is already the 6 season of Showtime's Californication. I guess time flies
when you are having so much fun.
In this 6 season of the show, Californication creators don’t bring us anything new that
we haven’t seen in the previous seasons. They just keep on pushing the same, on
an extreme manor.
This season
Hank Moody (David Duchovny) finds himself in a rehab, meets a rock groupie -
Faith (Maggie Grace) and
starts writing a musical ... you heard me right, but this musical idea is
exactly like in the previous seasons is just an excuse for Hank to meet another
nut job character. This season it’s a British rocker - Atticus and Atticus's
crazy wife (Sarah Wynter). Apparantly Atticus's crazy wife didn't get some for Atticus love for a while, and you guessed it right she wants Hank to do
her a favor. Atticus and his wife surprisingly give us a very entertaining
performance. Even Maggie Grace manages to give us a surprisingly decent performance (and I'm not a huge fan of her's)
Another nut
job character is the men hating virgin Ophelia (Maggie Wheeler). This extreme version of an ultra
feminist gives us a few very painful to imagine WTF moments in this 6 season of Californication.
Other than
those 3 everything was the same in Californication season 6. Charlie Runkle (Evan Handler) became gay for a
little while to secure a big client and appeared in bathroom made adult film. At this point nothing will surprise me
regarding Runkle. Karen (Natascha
McElhone) kept on being confused with herself regarding Hank and
Becca was irrelevant like always. You would expect that Madeleine Martin will improve her acting skills
after 6 years of practice but she is still the worst child actress in Hollywood today (although she is not a child anymore). Madeleine Martin
just won’t be able to give a decent performance even if it is to save her life,
she just doesn't have
what it takes to be an actress. On the bright side it seems like after this season we will never see Madeleine Martin on TV again.
There were a
few familiar faces this Californication this season like:
- Richard Bates as the gay
bartender / Lecture.
- Jorge Garcia as the nicest
drug dealer you will ever meet.
- Marilyn Manson
dropped in, to be himself.
- Eddie Nero took a break from sucking
you know what and gave another unforgettable guest performance.
Those 4 guys
spiced up the 12 episodes we saw and gave us a needed change in scenery by interacting
with the regular Californication cast.
The thing that
Californication does bring to the table every season is those same old Hank Moody quotes, rude sex jokes and the fictional sexual scenarios where Hank Moody nails every skirt he sees. I focused on Hank Moody but it’s not only him, everybody have sex
with everybody in the weirdest circumstances possible. Sometimes I wonder who
comes up with all those weird ideas.
Californication
is ridiculously funny and can be definitely called a cool TV show. It’s not a coincidence that it
finished its 6 season. Not many shows reach that long running span on TV this days.
