    It's incredible how far Hank has come over the last seven years from being an acclaimed writer to falling off the grid in Hollywood. The final season is growing closer to a end as the summer comes closer to us.

The final season is growing closer to a end as the summer comes closer to us. Last time we saw our favorite functional alcoholic he was knocking on Karen's door hoping for her loving embrace, but nothing is ever that easy for him. It seems that she is seeing other people and he can only plead that she will return to him. Hank has messed up every opportunity to win Karen back, but perhaps he will finally get what he wants. The premiere ended with him finding out that that annoying kid from Project X is his son from a previous relationship. Honestly, this kid is the worst thing about this season and only the rest of the series will tell us whether he will grow into a much better character. He is a nuisance and Californication needs to do something quick to compensate for this very hated Levon. The season has a good story and the fact that Eddie Nero is back just adds to season seven's enjoyment. In fact, I like Heather Graham as the mother of his kid. it's just as casting choice and writing that makes me want to strangle Levon's neck. Considering that Elton John's Levon is one of the greatest songs of all time, it frustrates me that they named this character after it. Despite this minor hiccup, it looks like we are in for one hell of a last ride. Now Tom Kapinos, show us what you've got.

    The self-consciously "searching" moments that arrive in the last handful of episodes are unearned, long emptied of the first season's promise.

    The swan-song episodes (and the pay service made all 12 available in advance) is emblematic of what’s been fun about the show but also the balancing weight of what’s wrong with it, including a slightly cloying aspect to the central relationship that makes it hard to care about its outcome.
