Californication
I’ve never watched the TV Series, Californication (2007-2014). However, it seems so interesting that I’ve done some reading about it. Californication tells the story of Hank Moody, a famous New York novelist who suffers a lack of inspiration because of the success of his latest bestseller (God Hates Us All). Later on, his novel is adapted to produce a movie. This event encourages Hank to move from New York to Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Karen. During the filming, Hank Moody realizes that the film adaptation is different than his book. The lifestyle in Los Angeles changes his views. It affects his relationship with Karen, falling into a spiral of sex and alcohol.
Californication is a story that keeps the protagonist on the edge of the abyss, with a huge desire to get the more out of life.

He immediately noticed his influences: R.E.M, Bob Dylan, Flaming Lips, and Leonard Cohen. Weather is the backing band of David Duchovny, consisting of Berklee musicians. Colin Lee, a member of this band, is the producer of David’s musical career.
