I saw this episode many weeks ago. I wrote this review many weeks ago. And yet the cold shakes that I felt by episode’s end are still with me. Wow. How much I wished to never see Mia (Madeline Zima) again. Look, I’ve never been in Hank’s position. But as someone who’s at least created […]

What’s going on out there on the West Coast, folks? For two seasons, you carried Californication high on your shoulders, through different plots and different settings, everything gelling together for one great and interesting series.
