Hank and Todd Carr (Chris Williams), the director of "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love", the movie adaptation of Hank's book, start a fight, after which Hank ends up in jail. Bill bails him out and Hank finds a new connection to Meredith (Amy Price-Francis). Charlie (Evan Handler) learns about a different side of his assistant Dani (Rachel Miner). This was a good epispde of the show, it was a bit slow at times but there was plenty of story development I liked the part where Hank robbed the dog., so all in all I rate this episode a 9 out of 10. still great show.
How would you feel when someone stole your dog? hide show
Another great episode. A lot of fist fighting and I just loved the part where Henk steels the dog and the painting, it was hilarious.
Although you wouldn't expect it, there is a life lesson in every episode, Henk learns a lesson in every episode. That is why you really have to watch the serie to understand why it's so good, if you don't watch it you might think it's all about the sex, OK there's a lot of sex in it, but there is a deeper story as well, so just watch it and you'll see and for those who watch it already, you know what I'm talking about, don't you?
Hank's writer's block threatens to prevent him from keeping his job as a blog-writer for Hell-A magazine. The unsettling conclusion marks this show as one that knows itself - and its own potential - shockingly well. hide show
It may be a reflection of our times that an episode filled with swearing and nudity -- which are sure to offend some viewers -- ends with a touching moment that rings terrifyingly true to anybody who has ever been truly close to someone else.
HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!
As Hank's writer's block threatens to prevent a second installment of the Hell-A blog from coming into existence, Charlie's insistence that Hank work through his issues leads him to get faux fired.
He makes up all sorts of excuses to himself and everyone around him, but the fact is Hank doesn't feel strongly enough about anything to write. So when an unplanned gift to his daughter Becca results in her praising her father, Hank realizes that there is more than money or reputation at stake.
The episode closes with Hank narrating his second entry: "There are things I need to figure out. For [Becca's] sake at least.
The clock is ticking. The gap is widening. She won't always love me "no matter what."
For all the sex and nudity, the crass jokes and witty banter, it is ultimately Hank's unquestionable love for his daughter that inspires him to work through his own issues, even when it would be so much easier to drown in a sea of endless female genitalia. David Duchovny's mellow-yet-heartfelt voice-over seals the deal, even after an entire episode of playful banter with (seemingly) every character on the show. The screen fades to black but the audience is still thinking through what just happened - and what it all could mean. And so, just when this reviewer was prepared to praise the show for its realistically witty chatter - that in itself being an accomplishment worth notice - it is the fresh (yet intimately familiar) epiphany Hank experiences at the end that serves to step the show up and say, "Come along, it's going to be a fun ride. But our destination may defy all expectations."
"You have a dog named Cat Stevens?" hide show
It may be just me, but I'm starting to really think two things: 1. the show is as lost as its main character; and 2. it may not have an afterlife after all.
I really want people to tell me if they agree or disagree and I'm even free to answer PMs, but in my opinion the storyline keeps focusing in so many things at once it kind of upsets me. Plus, from one episode to the next it seems some things are totally forgotten. Last episode Hank was about to make a fight for Karen. Now, he's trying to make it work with Meredith, although he keeps trying to reach for Karen nonetheless.
The show was supposed to be about Hank and his **** life trying to raise his 12-year-old daughter, whom thanks to his bad example is trying to begin her sexual life. The pilot was about this. But now where is that storyline? Once more edges need to be cut loose and the show keeps giving me the idea of nudity and sex being its main theme alone.
I keep hoping for more and I'll stay tuned in at least for the next episode to reach a final opinion.
the dog was strange... hide show
Wow - sex sex sex - I have no idea how Hank is not like passed out all the time from the lack of sleep that he gets due to all the sex. Not to mention the alcohol and the recreational drugs. What a life. Mia is pissing me off big time - she needs to grow up. And I am sure she is going to get some praise or award for the story of Hank's that she stole. The dog thing was funny - his heart was in the right place - but it was the wrong dog. But the dog watching them have sex - creepy...
