Also halfway through S7. Holy shit it sucks.
Californication
I take it back. It's getting better. But still well below par. Heather Graham is looking amazing for a 45 year old though.
Well, I have finished watching all seasons.
Off the top of my head, I'm guessing Mia played by Madeline Zima may have the best rack.
Faith was a human parasite.
I also had a bone for this chick, the Squirter from the episode The Devil's Threesome.
I few more in mind that need to be dug up and posted...

Been watching the entire series (currently in the middle of season six) after previously seeing most of season one and two.
It's almost the same formula every season: the main characters encounter new love interests, wacky antics ensue-- while the writers tease us about Hank and Karen reconciling. They try to use Hank's connection to Karen and Becca as the dramatic underpinning of the show--this doesn't connect for me, particularly in the later seasons (where we see the patterns and odd behavior repeated ad nauseam).
As an outlandish, over-the-top comedy-- the show can be genuinely funny and highly entertaining.
In terms of actual game: there's a lot to learn from Hank's interactions with women. He's got a silver tongue (great anecdotes and knows how to handle shit tests), laid back and blunt-- all shit that works, but most of the scenarios and female behavior are preposterous.
Although the comedic elements carry the show, as a drama and serious character study of any kind- the show fails miserably. Hank/Karen along with Charlie/Marcy represent some of the most dysfunctional relationships and parenting I've ever seen featured on television. It's also the most profane show I've ever seen (90+% of the show is about sex) and the wit and solid performances are often buried under dialogue that goes way too far.

I'm in the middle of season seven, and it's terrible. The first four years were the pinnacle of the series.
The casting of Hank's son is abysmal. I felt the same way about the actor who portrayed Tyler, Emma's boyfriend in previous seasons.
Perhaps it was meant to be a comedic mismatch of a pairing, but it really doesn't land for me. I'm convinced the character of Levon (Hank's beta son) is based on Tom Kapinos himself- who's also likely a mega perv.
It would have been much more entertaining if Hank attempted to bond with his estranged son- by teaching him how to develop as a man and what's involved in picking up women, instead of the secret hooker fiasco.
The concept of Hank as a tv writer for a cheesy show, while amusing in theory- feels limp in execution.
Even Duchovny's performance feels lacking- almost like he's phoning it in, just to reach the finish line.
