Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Californication Season 2 earns its spot. Californication Season 2 does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. This season, Hank and Karen will finally rekindle their long-lost romance. But their road to love will hit a major snag when Hank's new job as biography writer for a legendary music producer lands him waist-deep in his three favorite vices — sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Meanwhile, daughter Becca is growing up way too fast; best friend and agent Charlie and wife Marcy are working through the fallout from last season's affair; and Hank's newest book is a huge hit — for someone else, who stole the manuscript from him and is basking in her newfound, totally unearned fame. David Duchovny and Natascha McElhone lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2008. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Californication Season 2 holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Californication Season 2 is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. David Duchovny anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
