Californication 6.2 Review: Quitters


While I'm still uncertain that Hank's time in the Happy Endings Rehabilitation Centre will do any good for his character in the long run, the new setting has undoubtedly allowed the show an interesting change of perspective. The necessary tragically hot young female that befriends Hank this season, Faith, has yet to sleep with him yet, but other than that, her usefulness throughout this season seems as if it will be pretty thin, particularly since she's already explained her backstory. Hank spent most of the episode being a sarcastic arse, but thankfully visits from Charlie, who is now a ‘gay-gent’ for Hollywood movie star Robbie Mac, and Becca, who has inherited her father’s unique ways in terms of discussing her sex life, kept things funny. I'm intrigued to see more Karen and Marcy interaction since they are now roommates, other than just them getting high, but I guess I'm going to have to wait. It looks like most of Karen's time will be taken up being interior designer for stereotypical rock-star Atticus Fetch, which at least will allow her character to be tied in nicely with Hank's 'professional' endeavours this season which is something the show hasn't done before. Marcy on the other hand seems to be having a hard time letting go of her cheating ex Stu, for which I am glad, because despite all the disturbing overzealous sex talk between them, I find the characters, and the bizarre relationship they share, endearing.

Rating: 3/5
