Thoughts on “Californication” show?

That's my favorite show. It's still a show and puts the character in unlikely situations. Females just throw themselves at him as if he's the only guy in their lives. He shits where he eats a lot. He is also a beta but he is surrounded by betas more than he is most of the time so he looks alphaish. I do love the dialog and how witty it is.

It's pretty RP, except women are not that forward even with attractive men.

And he's way too forgiving of women who fuck him over.

Also my favorite show, the dialog is great and I've stolen a line or two from time to time. I think the first seasons are the best, namely how the first episode starts off. After the plot arc, it's all just ridiculous comedy and you watch Hank become softer (less womanizing as the show goes on - mostly part due to Duchovney's claim the show made him a sex addict). He has numerous outs with Karen but has too severe a oneitis to move on, however, I would argue as a piece it's very intriguing with the fantasy of 'chasing the one woman'. The show definitely has it's moments and the one liners are a great addition to your banter.

it's amusing but runs a season or two too many.

He demonstrates OI but it's more because he's a talented drunk than the master of his own domain.

What other shows/movies are decent watches that offer a similar experience?

I've only watched the first season but I love it.

If you want to learn frame control listen to Hank Moody talk. You can also witness just about every red pilled truth with the women in the show. The writers had a pretty good grasp on female nature.

It's about a self-destructive, alcoholic, writer who slays pussy and goes on crazy escapades with the hollywood famous all while trying to reconnect with his baby momma.

A great show but too many girly drama scenes and fee fee moments, I just skip right over those (I think they did that to appeal to the female audience). He and the other men let women get off scott free too many times. He lets his baby momma jerk him around. Karen gets to do exactly what she tells Hank not to do and makes up all sorts of bullshit excuses. The last season is terrible. Near the end, he stops doing what made him awesome (the IDGAF attitude and pounding hot chicks). Oh and they have all these alpha and famous guys throwing themselves at mediocre post wall chicks when they have the young huge tit, plump ass girls at their disposal (they show many of them on the show).

He has great lines, a&a examples, IDGAF examples, frame examples, how to inject drama that women like examples, and funny adventures with whacky dysfunctional characters. Sometimes it's so beta it's hard to watch.

Still recommend. It gives a great visual of how ridiculous female nature and hysteria is in real life.

To me, Ray Donovan seems more RP than the guy in Californication. Maybe is personal prefference but honestly I don't really care, it's a show for a reason right? It's fine for entertainment purpose.

Enjoy it for what it is: good fiction
