5.0 out of 5 stars Good show, December 31, 2010
This review is from: Californication Season 3 [HD] (Amazon Instant Video)
I have the memory of always having liked the first season more than the 2nd & 3rd. But I thought the third was good. I'm only giving it a 5 to neutralize that rambling incoherent 3 star review. It definitely deserves a 4. Worth watching if you liked the first season -- even if you were disappointed with the second -- and it feels like there will be an unbelabored and potentially very good 4th season.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can we love Mulder, October 30, 2010
This review is from: Californication Season 3 [HD] (Amazon Instant Video)
with fake hair?

Sure, he'd always been a sex addict, but that was never a secret. Californication takes place almost a decade after Scully needed to 'take time' in the Alps, Swiss, of course. Their kid had been taken by aliens, again, and she had had that weepy look for MONTHS. She knew what it meant when the lysol and kleenex stood constant by his keyboard.

The lust, fueled by protocol and expense accounts, slowly burned out between abductions and nannies. Finally Mulder could be the hipsterSexshaman we always knew he thought he was. And we're enjoying it, this circus of irresponsibility and spooge far too dangerous for the mere mortal, or non-californian, to re-create without certain personal Armageddons.

No, our love for Mulder allows this and more with an ensemble cast born of Fellini's vomit.
Our love for Mulder goes beyond youth and puckish dimples. Let the hair gray. Allow for roguish dryness. Age gracefully. As long as Gillian Anderson isn't directing an episode, you can't lose.
