Californication

Modern day Dorian Gray, witty, funny and a show totally lacking in morality. At least that's the impression most people will get from watching the pilot. Gratuitous flashing of boobs and sex scenes bordering on soft porn do nothing to help the series' image.

In fact, many pro family activists lobbied against the show and caused some advertisers to boycott it; which is ironic really, considering the show, Californication, puts across some of the most heart warming displays of realistic parenting, love between a father and a daughter, mother and daughter(the parents are separated), and how even sexual debauchery, marijuana smoking and incessant drinking can not come between a man's love for his child.

Look hard enough into Californication, and its virtues start surfacing. The sex scenes are gimmicks really, to hook you into the show before passing on moral values such as responsibility and good parenting.

Ok gotta go. Maths tomorrow.
