I don't think the ending episode was that bad.
But it was not good, and that's hard to debate with.
I agree that the Hank's letter at the end was not emotional, strong, or literally writed as the other stuff we saw as his work around the series.
Compare that with the letter he left to her when they are young.
My big problem with this series finale, it's everything about the last season.
Rushed.
I don't feel the type of comedy we get before.
Everything about this series looks just "Not californication" to me.
Levon character... I don't understand why he have to be portrayed like that.
I don't have any problems with him not being a womanizer, with him being kind of stupid, or being jealously with his mom...The character is not the problem, the problem is how it showed.
It's bad written and probably bad directed (because the acting doesn't help you to feel like Levon is a realistic dumb person, and I don't think it's actor fault here).
Everything about the studio where he goes to work was a joke.
Evreyone was so over the top, and Californication rarely go THAT over the top.
The director character was believable at least. The acceptable one.
Maybe this time I got frustrated because was dorlkly over the top.
The "other family", the "working to write a tv show"...
The ideas were not that bad.
The way they build them was really crap.
Superficial, not funny, bad written...
There's ONE good episode in this series.
The episode where Karen is in the hospital and Hank goes there and we could see memories about Hank x Karen.
This was the pure gold in the mountain of crap.
The last episode was not horrible, it was okay.
But if everything about this season was left in the episode prior to the season finale, I think we would receive something really as good as the series deserves.
PS:(Marcy and Charlie were destroyed after season IV...
They were the comedy relief of the series and I really disliked they build him as a completely loser at the end...This season keeps it this way.)
Californication still one of my favorite series of all time, but the last season is painfully to watch and I think I will not watch it again, never.
