Californication: Season 5, Episode 3 “Boys and Girls” (B+)
It’s intriguing that Hank still thinks that he’s going to be able to leave L.A, but this is definitely the most compelling reason why he’s decided to stay, especially after Becca compared her cheating boyfriend to him. Perhaps more than ever before, Hank has gotten himself in way over his head, both in terms of his relationship with her daughter, who will likely eventually find out about his indirect complicity in the assault on Tyler, and with Kali throwing herself at him while he does his best to hold out. Samurai Apocalypse is already having some fun with Hank and coming at him with a gun, and I’m sure he won’t be pleased once Hank inevitably slips and they get caught. Hank’s also still not against putting the moves on Karen even though she’s in a relationship with someone he doesn’t seem to mind all that much, and she’s not doing as good a job of rejecting his advances as she should be. While he might not be considered the worst of the three parents, Charlie isn’t doing a terrific job of taking care of his young son, and he may just have offended Lizzie enough to cause some problems there. Charlie’s such an entertaining character, and you’d think that it would be hard for such a sex-obsessed, whiny guy to be incredibly likeable. This cast of characters truly is wild, and it’s hard to find such deplorable people whose lives are so fully engaging and enthralling time and time again.
