The fifty-seventh TV show: #772 Californication
I've done my best to try and get into this show, or even understand it. It has a lot of Showtime "we can show boobs" moments and a lot of it is about the vapidity of these people leading their life in a world of drugs and sex, while at the same time making their way through it with all the smaller things that inhibit this - children, bills and trying to form more mature relationships. David Duchovny is amazing at playing this, balancing the knife edge of likeable and abhorrent, but the world is one that drives me away. I don't care about the struggles and I don't really see any development. A lot of it felt like more of the same. It's a fine show, but it just isn't for me.
