Seven seasons and Californication on Showtime is over. The draw of David Duchovny on a show play a writer and good natured degenerate is what brought me in. Hank Moody is a great character and the show had more than a few great moments, but it ran as fast as it could on the same wheel for a few years too many. There’s only so many times Hank could burn bridges, get a new job and apologize to Karen.

The writers knew this and admitted it in the end. There was only one way the show could end. The last plot lines were wrapped up ( on a high note for almost everyone) and Hank and Karen not necessarily a couple, but together ’till the f’in wheels come off baby.
