I saw the advert for this programme and thought I'd give it a go, and turned out to be one of the most original comedy drama series in ages. The series basically sees the life of struggling, (for a while) uninspired and womanising writer Hank Moody (Golden Globe nominated David Duchovny, also producing). Mainly it sees his struggle to keep his career on track with the help of his agent, Charlie Runkle (Evan Handler), his relationship with ex-wife Karen (Natascha McElhone) and their daughter Becca Moody (Madeleine Martin), his sexual life, and just the general complications and situations in life. Subplot stories involving Charlie and his wife Marcy Runkle (Pamela Adlon), his secretary Dani (Rachel Miner), Hank's one night stand and tormenting bitch Mia Lewis (Madeline Zima), and sometimes Bill Lewis (Damian Young), the man who would marry Karen. The jokes can be quite rude, but they are certainly most hilarious, and I didn't expect a programme like this to have so much nudity, I look forward to more of it. It has been nominated the Golden Globe for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy. Very good!
