When I heard that Californication had been renewed for a 7th season when the 6th season had barely started airing, I was elated. Today, on hearing that the 7th season will be the last, I'm... not 'distraught', but disappointed. I can only hope that it ends on a high.
When it was announced that Weeds was going to have its final season, the show had already got out of hand in a crazy manner, and the final episode was bizarre to say the least. Californication started going down the same route when it too messed with time and skipped forward. I enjoyed Weeds, but it didn't end particularly well, leaving a slightly bitter memory rather than the memory of the earlier, better, seasons. Californication has already turned away some viewers with a fair few mildly unrealistic twists and turns, so I can only hope that in the seventh and final season each episode is valued by the writers, and that Hank returns to the career vein of the earlier seasons rather than that of the fifth and sixth seasons. Here's hoping...
