We're not on X-Files anymore

I admit it, I was an X-files fan, back when Mulder and Scully were looking into the extra-terrestrial on FOX. I have always had a warm affection for David Duchovony - he just seems like a regular guy to me. So I couldn't miss his latest Showtime concoction, Californication. The series' title should have warned me but no - I needed to see for myself. Mulder has turned into Hank Moody - junkie, writer, womanizer - and I think I love him.



If I did not know that David Duchovony does dog food commercials and has a nice little marriage with Tea Leoni, a couple of kids - I would think he was Hank Moody. I think his acting is great, leaves me wondering when Duchovony ends and Moody starts. The show is f*cking unbelievable crass, Crass with a capital "C" (as in 1. without refinement, delicacy, or sensitivity; gross; obtuse; stupid: crass commercialism; a crass misrepresentation of the facts.) - so be warned - not for the kids or faint of heart. One scene in the second episode left my jaw agape, did I really just see that? It's a guilty pleasure - it feels criminal and a little dirty. If you do not appreciate cursing, do not watch this show.

I was sad when Showtime canceled Huff, I loved the show and Hank Azaria (funny two Hanks in these shows - one real, one fictional...anyways...) so thank you execs for at least leaving me with Californication. Good, if now raw, stuff.
