Californication in Season 2 seems like its indulging a certain person's condition rather than illuminating the human condition, if you know what I mean - and I think you do.

There's reason to take a look at Californication and most of it its there in David Duchovny's excellent lead performance. Fox Mulder has great comic timing.

Even David Duchovny and his real-life sex addiction can't save the go-nowhere story of sad sack Hank Moody.

Worth the price of admission? Absolutely.
December 22, 2008
A series of build-ups and let downs that were overcompensated for by angry sex and malicious, maddening characters.

The cast is too appealing to make "Californication" as genuinely distasteful as it tries to be. And at the same time the writing is too broad to make it genuinely good.

By season two's end, Hank does come back around, getting through the turmoil of his life with that disarming smile intact. But at what cost to the viewer, who may no longer be willing to fall for his charms?

Forty-five minutes of sex usually doesn't make me this happy.

I think Duchovny is still underappreciated for knocking this role out of the park. Hank Moody is convincingly gonzo, a brainy man desperate to let real feelings penetrate his numb exterior.
