I'm just happy someone is still watching this series in 2022. I watched it as it was coming out, season by season, and I loved it. Truly the best and funniest show I ever watched.

I thought she was pretty cool

I had a longer comment, i am always open to discussion on many the points you brought up, but this was my first video of yours i watched. I enjoyed it, Your prospection into Hanks personal morality i found not surprising, but appreciated. You gave many good points throughout the rest of the video which i agree with, and explored them in a way i hadn't considered. Out of respect for you i wont, but my habit is to share different points of view, but that stems from my brother and i spinning fire(props) and learning to mix music together. much love, keep it up!

Hank - Karen relashionship is beyond sick. Thank goodness that it is fiction because that is not healthy at all. I've rewatched multiple times and the amount of times that Hank apologizes for things he shouldn't are countless. At first I thought season 7 was the worst, but my last rewatch had me actually laughing with it and my perspective kinda changed. Edit: Forgot to mention how I think the best ending the show could have gotten was season 5 ending with his demise.

I love her, she is adorable

I hate karen lol

i think a lot of hate derives from pure misogyny, you know like the hate skyler white received

I think Becca could have been less annoying and actually great if they had casted someone else because this girl cannot act. But she’s good at whining, even when she’s not trying to. I understand she’s suppose to be this bitter goth teenager but her character never develops over the 7 or 8 seasons. If anything, she gets more annoying towards the end of the show. I still hate how it ended with hank never working things out with karen and Becca randomly getting married to another boring character. If I remember correctly, they were all on a plane and then the show just ended.

Do you think she would’ve been less upset if they didn’t do anal? LOL

It would have added so much more complexity to the show if they would have just acknowledged mid series that the hank Karen relationship was over. This story is about hank and pining over a woman is ok but it felt like it was completely overdone

I know he didn’t sleep with her but ashbys ex was so hot she deserves an honourable mention lol

My favorite series of all time. By far the best series to watch during a break up.

Season 2 is hands down the best. Your list is ok, but a little off. Season 7 is by far the worst.

Seasons 1-3 were amazing, it fell off after that and particularly once season 4 hit the court room. Once Karen found out about Mia it was over so as far as I go it’s a 3 season show with a perfect ending, the rest doesn’t count. I’ll agree this is the best episode as well.

For me it's attack on titan

Yes, Gaara is nr 1

I didn’t ever have a problem with Becca she wasn’t my favorite character by far but also nothing to complain about l, sure she went downhill at season 3 but in reality the entire show did as well, sure it was more with familiar characters but the show was over when Karen found out about Mia, so I don’t even really count it.

I happen to like Becca. Why do people hate Becca?

I enjoyed reading this fight in the manga before I saw it in the anime

I just thought his son was annoying.

I don’t know why you didn’t mention Janie Jones, yeah they didn’t hook up, but still there was strong chemistry between them, and Jamie was just hot - I fell in love with her instantly.

Yep absolutely hated her. This has to be a Nepo Baby right? Absolutely terrible, terrible actress. Zero talent at all, the voice, and the fact that they. tried to make her lead singer in a band? I mean it just didn't fly.

laura was one of the hottest !

The character is just fine and she's a talented actress, but her whiny monotone voice is so bad that every time I rewatch the series I have to skip parts that she's in. It's that bad that I can't even fight through it. Still, I feel bad that she most likely knows about this criticism and is probably self conscious about it. Still not as bad as a smoke alarm with a low battery though.

I think it's the best episode because it's the payoff to a 3 season build. I think the manager should have told him to become Mia's ghost writer instead.

I don't think Kali should rank higher then Sasha Bingham. Meghan good might be hot but she didn't show nudity so she can't rank higher then a chick who shows the goods.

I'm just about to finish "Mad Men" can I get an expert opinion of the similarities of Don Draper and Hank Moody? I need a new show to binge. Thanks! 😎

Lol I absolutely CANNOT find the full episode, it ends where Gaara traps Kimimaro in the ground with sand and he gets out and you see Kimimaro go to stab Gaara but that's it I cannot find the full episode on what happened after that bro!!...,, Can you please help me find it??!.... Thanks!! ✌🏽😁✌🏽😎

season 7 just felt like it had a completely different show compared to the other seasons...I saw an article where David Duchovny wanted the ending to be with Hank dying at the end and that seemed more satisfying than whatever shit show the ending we got with the last episode was.

After watching her interviews… yeah she wasn’t acting. she’s just like that and her character is horrible. I use to love this show. but I can’t bring myself to rewatch it, it makes me cry so much. too relatable. that’s all. Bye

Your mic pops often

When she cries/talks i wanna throw up. Im rewatching and i cant stand her

Definitely underrated

It's not really the character, it's rather the actress

It's a shame Tom doesn't have an instagram page. I have seen you L.C on the reddit.. Im not sure if I've seen you on the Cali Facebook page! Though.

You pretty well nailed it as far as why the Hank Moody character is so popular especially with male viewers. There was one other character though, that I liked just as much as I liked Hank. Lew Ashby was one of the best characters in this series, and unfortunately he was not there very long. Honestly, I wish Lew had not only survived the season he was in, but he should have been in all the seasons after that. They could have had a second series based on Lew Ashby and people would have watched it.

Season 2 is the best one

Season 2 is number #1

Karen and Trixie

If Hank was not balanced out by the Becca, and the few other voices of reason in his life on one side. And the crazy over the top shenanigans of many of the other character that hank shared his wisdom with, Hank would just come across as a jerk end of story. It's all those characters on both sides that made the show work, that made the character of Hank work.

Get the chocolate!

I think Abby (Carla Gugino), and Janey Jones (Madchen Amick) are my favorites. And I know Jones (season 2) didn't actually hook up with Hank, but man their chemistry was amazing. Also, I think it' a coincidence, or a cool writer's misdirect, but the call back to surfer chick (Michelle Lombardo) in season 5 as Peter Berg's girl was great. That's to say, there's enough evidence to suggest they aren't the same woman at all, but it's kind of fun to assume.

Great vid. The first thing to remember, besides the fact that it's FICTION, is that Becca has always been her father's daughter. She's a mirror. But she's also a CHILD, and she's written as such, even with the sometimes too wise for her age insights. Just a reminder of style vs. naturalism w/re to dialogue. As far as season 6... it was pretty solid. But not because of less Becca. I actually wished there was more Bates in that one. Particularly in terms of Becca. The season 7 thing with Levon was probably my least favorite aspect.

Thanks for these reviews bro.. Californication fan for life.. ❤

Stu should have been done after 1 season.

Many years ago I wrote an entire alternative main plot line for Californication Season 7 in my head at a meditation retreat. We start in a dream sequence where a selection of Hank's previous lovers are standing in a long line in a wedding dresses waiting to slap him round the face. The last in line is Karen. As she slaps him she says "Hank", and he snaps out of the daydream to see him at the alter with her, getting married for real. After the titles we cut to some time later, and from then on, we see Hank wrestling with the commitment, but managing to stay true despite the usual distractions. Then Karen meets a guy who is just as charismatic as Hank, but without the flaws. Now, after so many seasons focussing on Hank's temptations, it's Karen's turn to be tested and have to make a choice - be seduced by the guy who can finally give her the exciting yet stable life she craves, or stick with Hank who is the underdog we all love. The series ends with her choosing him, with them both finally equally as invested in each other. No idea if it's any good, but it's better than what we got!

Sasha way too low on this list :D Lip Gallagher wifed that up for a little while. Addi Timlin is also a Mets fan <3

I didn’t miss her when she missed a season.

I stopped watching after Season 1... the rest of them all felt forced

Beka just cramping Hanks style
