The final episode of Season 2 of Californication airs this week on Showtime, and even though I thought it might be about to jump the shark a few weeks ago, I’ve hung in there.
The writing is so good, the characters so flawed, and the tone of the show so inappropriate that it's hard not to keep watching. In fact, it’s refreshing not to be uplifted once in a while.
And there are wonderful surprises, like the appearance of Justine Bateman as Becca's teacher and the mother of Becca's boyfriend (and about to be Hank's latest lover):
That's certainly a lot for anyone to process in one episode, but par for the course on Californication.
It’s good that episodes are only thirty minutes long; any longer would be way too rich for anyone's system.
Good points, but I still don't like the show.
