Californication - Complete Season 1 (2-DVD)

David Duchovny (X-FILES) returns to the small screen as Hank Moody, a hangdog novelist on the skids in L.A. in both his career and family life. When not hopping into the sack with any woman who gives him the time of day, Hank struggles to connect with his ex-girlfriend, Karen (Natascha McElhone), and their young daughter, Becca (Madeleine Martin). A painful case of writer's block resulting from his novel's disastrous film adaptation, plus Karen's new beau, don't help matters any. But along the way Hank makes a few clumsy steps toward putting his life back in order. Duchovny, with a permanent five o'clock shadow, is perfect as a loveable loser, prone to bouts of drinking and drugs, but never losing the audience's sympathy. This collection presents all 12 episodes of the whimsical series' first season.
