Californication: Season 7, Episode 8 “30 Minutes or Less” (B+)
I sort of feel like the same thing happens on this show every week, and though it’s not a bad thing, it hardly makes this show must-see TV. Fortunately, this half-hour was actually a lot of fun, putting Hank once again into the role of the man literally sleeping with everyone else on the show. His reaction to being romanced by a fellow writer, an actress, and the mother of his love child is perhaps the most entertaining part, though credit is certainly due to Jade Catta-Preta, Mercedes Masohn, and Heather Graham. The characters on this show really need to start locking doors, since this is now the second time that Amy and Hank have been interrupted by someone walking in on them. It’s understandable that both Hashtag and Rath are frustrated with Hank, though, as Julia pointed out, he is quite irritatingly charming. The episode-ending news that Karen, who for no apparent reason at that point was seen driving in the middle of the episode, was in a car accident was devastating, mostly because he hadn’t even been thinking of Karen for the entirety of this episode, stopping to be romanced by three different women instead of focusing on the one woman he actually truly cares about. It would be horrible if Karen didn’t make it after all the back-and-forth between the two of them, so I hope that this will provide Hank with some much-needed clarity and the opportunity to think about what’s actually important to him at the moment.
