A writer who seems incapable of making wrong decisions
Anyone who watched this show loved it. We all developed a soft spot for bad boy Hank Moody (played by David Duchovny) despite all his foibles and flaws. He was always running into trouble in regards to women, drugs, drink and sex. Though you knew that he was trying hard to do the right thing so when he inevitably did the wrong thing you forgave him. What I cannot forgive is that they gave us a pretty weak final season. It leaves a rather bad taste in my mouth in regards to the series as a whole. The most complimentary thing I can say about the ending is that it was adequate.
Episode 1: Levon: After a small tour Hank is looking forward to getting back together with Karen (played by Natascha McElhone). It doesn’t turn out to be as good as he had hoped.
Episode 2: Julia: It is Hank’s first day in the writer’s room on Santa Monica Cop. Things are going well between Marcy (played by Pamela Adlon) and Charlie (played by Evan Handler) then he meets Melanie (played by Tara Holt).
Episode 3: Like Father Like Son: Two of Hank’s co-workers are upset that he gets to write the first episode of Santa Monica Cop. Charlie is hoping to mend things with Marcy while Karen is thinking about ending things with Hank.
Episode 4: Dicks: Their relationship has more stress heaped on it due to financial problems for Marcy and Charlie. Levon (played by Oliver Cooper) tries to get some along time with Melanie.
Episode 5: Getting the Poison Out: Charlie is in over his head with a client. Levon spends a night with Nikki (played by Bridgette Davidovici).

Episode 7: Smile: Rath (played by Michael Imperioli) demands a rewrite by Hank. Charlie and Marcy deal with their money issues.
Episode 8: 30 Minutes or Less: Stu’s offer is revealed and a fight ensues. Levon has a big opportunity.
