Hank Moody is acting as a single father to his teenage daughter. Which is going about as well as you might expect, given that Hank's barely capable of looking after himself at the best of times. But hey, at least he's lucked into a job teaching writing at a local university. I mean, there's no way having inveterate womaniser Hank surrounded by attractive female students and colleagues can possibly go wrong, right?
Yeah, right.
So this is the third season of the show and it's pretty much more of what we've had before: damaged people making terrible decisions, and the entertainment value of watching those decisions come back to bite them. I mean, it is no accident that the best episode of the season is undoubtedly the one where Hank's house of womanising cards finally crashes down around his ears. It's a really fun 20 minutes, actually.
The only real issue with all this is that these damaged people do deserve their comeuppances in most cases, which means that sometimes you need to take a break from them. Having watched two seasons of the show in the last two months, my wife and I have reached that point and will be taking a bit of a break from the show before returning to season four.
