Californication The Unforgiven Review. Californication: Season 6, Episode 1: The Unforgiven returned the show to its emotional roots. Californication sometimes loses itself in plot devices and season themes as it did last season (the weakest of all the previous seasons). With this episode of Californication, the show was brought back down to earth.
It is no spoiler to say that the main character in this TV show survived the “ordeal” that brought him to the brink of death at the end of season 5. Real life took hold of Hank Moody (David Duchovny) at the outset of the episode. The show’s comedic aspects were placed on the sideline. Hank was quickly hit by a emotional one-two punch that shook him out of his perpetual laconic state and it was good to see, both for the show and for his personal growth.
Because Hank Moody was emotionally immature, he sought solace in any drug he could get his hands on or his lips around. Like Vincent Chase in Season 7 of Entourage, this began his descent down a rabbit hole (semi-hilarious in Hank’s case) that could only have two outcomes: death or rehabilitation.
