The scene being filmed on a stuffy, intermittently noisy soundstage involves lots of talking and groping, as do many in the new series Californication.

 

David Duchovny, the show's occasionally unpleasant anti-hero, a creatively blocked novelist named Hank Moody, is fully committed to the moment despite a real-life cold. He and Amy Price-Francis, who is playing one of the many wrong-for-him sexual diversions who populate the storylines, are going at it in a full-on lip-locking clinch.

Californication a racy comedy

The Daily Telegraph, August 24, 2007

CALIFORNICATION is nothing if not true to its title. The opening sequences show former The X-Files star David Duchovny's character steaming down a palm tree-lined street on the way to a church, where he proceeds to engage in the sort of sexual relations which got former US president Bill Clinton in trouble.

Just what, exactly, did that nun recommend she do for Hank Moody to overcome his crisis of faith? A fleeting reference to the Book of Job Whatever. An "adult" (nudge, nudge) comedy with a fiercely wicked eye for modern love and the entertainment biz, the buzz-worthy Californication kicks off tonight with considerable promise. Hank (David Duchovny) is a broken-down novelist whose bestseller God Hates Us All has been turned into a Tom and Katie-starring Hollywood blockbuster..More
