Amazon.co.uk Review
If your perception of David Duchovny is entirely gleamed from his stint on IThe X-Files/I, then itrsquo;s fair to say that ICalifornication/I might prove to be something of a shock. Far more in line with the actorrsquo;s grounding in more comedic (and slightly more raunchy) productions, Duchovny plays writer Hank Moody, a man surrounded by drink, drugs, sex and a multitude of problems. p Moody is constantly battling against writersrsquo; block, as well as trying to keep his daughter and ex-girlfriend content. But ICalifornication/Irsquo;s second season tones down the comedy elements that helped define the first so well, in favour of taking a slightly more serious look at the chaos that surrounds Moody. Thatrsquo;s not to say it surrenders its laughs--far from it, in fact--just that itrsquo;s less laugh out loud funny than first time around. p But there are still many, many strong moments to ICalifornication/Irsquo;s second run, and while there are inevitably those who favour the tone of the first, by end of season two the subtle changes are paying dividends. You do have to cut the show some slack with some of its more obvious narrative devices, but ICalifornication/I ultimately lives and dies on the strengths of its characters, and Duchovny has found a terrific use for his talents with Hank Moody. p Where will the show go with season three? A good question, that will be answered in due course, no doubt. For now, you canrsquo;t accuse ICalifornication/I of taking a safe option, and its second season is a fine piece of television. --IJon Foster/I

Duchovny's best work. August 5, 2009

I can't recommend this DVD highly enough! Its certainly in my opinion Duchovny's finest performance, it has now overtaken my image of his definitive role. br / br /After buying the first series on a bit of a shopping spree, i realised that i had discovered one of the sharpest and slickest comedies on television to date. I think i must have watched the DVD within 2 days of recieving it because i was that hooked. br /So of course when i discovered that series 2 was being aired shortly after i had ploughed through the first installment i could barely wait for my next fix. It certainly matched up to, and exceeded my expectations. br / br /Without spoiling the plot lines for you i think the only way i can describe Californication is a blend of hilarious and often fairly vulgar lines, amazingly awkward situations that will have you in hysterics and the magic of Hank Moody's pure style. You just can't help but love the guy. br / br /My favourite comedy of the past few years.

Continues from Season 1 with the same sharp sexy humour touched with pathos as characterised Season 1. The best thing I've seen for years. Hopefully to be followed by Season 3,4,5......
