David Duchovny talks with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) at the 'Californication' Press Conference at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on May 5, 2014 in New York City.
Netflix is always adding to it’s seemingly endless catalog of titles that stream, and one of the hidden gems available now is the hit Showtime series Californication.
The David Duchovny series was a hit when it aired and recently wrapped up its final season on the air this summer. Unlike some shows that take time to get their final seasons on to Netflix, Californication was rather quick in adding it’s name to the roster as all seven seasons of the show are now available to stream. Since this month the complete series is available on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Becca Moody must die!
After six seasons on CALIFORNICATION, Madeleine Martin admits she was hoping to see the rebellious daughter of David Duchovny and Natasha McElhone finally meet her maker.
“I really wanted that,” she tells me. “I thought it would have been really great and dramatic if Becca was hit by a bus or something and Hank [Duchovny] was distraught. That would have been really exciting.”
After blowing every chance at love and happiness – and burning every bridge in Hollywood – Hank Moody is finally ready to put the past to bed. But as always, old indiscretions turn up to bite him squarely in the ass. Can Hank overcome his many vices and pull off a happy ending?
Special features on this final season DVD and Blu-ray release include a behind-the-episode (‘Levon’), audio commentary on episode ‘Grace’, series bloopers, behind-the-visual-effects featurette, and even jam sessions with Tom Kapinos, Tyler Bates and Tree Adams… In total nearly 380 minutes of absolute Californication!
Californication Season on DVD
Californication: The Final Season: The last 12 episodes of the Showtime comedy series continue the wild ride that has been the life of Hank Moody (David Duchovny). His portrayal of the flawed novelist has featured enough emotional highs and sexual lows to earn Duchovny a Golden Globe.
Through each season, Moody has tried to adjust to being a New Yorker in sunny California. It’s not been easy. The final season finds him in the writer’s room as his never-released feature film “Santa Monica Cop” has been turned into a television series. In typical Moody fashion, he has trouble getting along with the other writers.
The actor also intends to put out his first book, a fable, next year
David Duchovny, who recently said goodbye to his show Californication, will be making a foray into music when he releases his debut album next year. And even though he recently tweeted a since-deleted picture of himself playing guitar with Marilyn Manson, he says his music would be more beautiful than "Beautiful People." "I can only compare my music to artists that you know, so it's going to sound like I'm bragging," the actor tells Rolling Stone. "But in my wildest dreams, I would sound like Wilco or R.E.M. I'd put it somewhere in there – if I'm lucky."
"I always wanted Hank Moody to die," the actor says of his character. "That would have been my way of ending it"
The sun set on Californication last night, after seven years of drug orgies and actual orgies. And finally, David Duchovny's character – the Bukowskian author Hank Moody, who took part in hilarious Dionysian fetes that would've made even Fellini wince – has gotten the bittersweet ending he deserved.

The Sun Sets On ‘Californication’: David Duchovny Discusses the Show’s Rock n’ Roll Connection (Q&A)
This Sunday night (June 29th at 9:30p ET/PT), after seven memorable seasons, Hank Moody and his very distinctive ‘Californication’ crew will say farewell. When the credits come up on that last episode of the popular Showtime series, it will also mark the end of one of the most authentically rock n’ roll shows to ever grace the screen according to Sex Pistols’ guitarist Steve Jones, an authority on the subject who has played Krull for the final two seasons. Jones credits ‘Californication’s musical supremacy to the show’s creator, Tom Kapinos. “Tom has a good sense of the rock n’ roll world for sure, because he loves [it], he plays guitar himself, I think he reads everything about music and I think he just knows a lot more than most who write for TV shows,” Jones tells Billboard. “Hence it comes out cool and not cheeseball.”
Over the past seven seasons, ‘Californication’ has been more than just a home for great music for everyone from Tommy Stinson, Joseph Arthur, Lily Haydn and Darker My Love to the Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Elton John and Warren Zevon -- the show’s unofficial artist in residence whose “Keep Me In Your Heart” during the final episode of season two remains one of the series’ most enduring musical memories. It’s also been a home for great musicians; in addition to Jones, Marilyn Manson, Rick Springfield and RZA had recurring guest starring roles on the show.
“We’re Tom Kapinos’ rock n’ roll fantasy camp,” says the show’s star, David Duchovny. As author Hank Moody, Kapinos’ rollicking and rocking alter ego, Duchovny has learned to play guitar, sung the Band’s “The Weight” on stage at L.A.’s Greek Theater and written a musical biography of fictional iconic producer Lew Ashby. “Tom is a big music lover. I guess Moody is such a wish fulfillment fantasy for a writer like Tom. He’s a writer that has a rock n’ roll lifestyle,” Duchovny says.
After seven seasons of sexually transmitted comedy, Californication's vice-ridden writer Hank Moody is hanging up his black T-shirt (Sunday, June 29, 9:30/8:30c, Showtime). While Golden Globe—winning star David Duchovny admits "there's some sadness" to saying goodbye to the role, "I feel good. [Executive producer] Tom Kapinos did a great job pulling everything together."
Next month, Duchovny begins shooting NBC'sAquarius, playing a cop tracking Charles Manson, which marks the X-Files vet's return to creepy TV. "We'll be pushing the limit," he says. "It will be as dark as a network show can be."
But before that, we asked him to look back on some of his favorite times in the Californication sun.
