I started watching this show because I always had a thing for David Duchovny (ever since the great The X-Files). This year, the fifth, before the show’s return, I started thinking that perhaps it had reached a point where they would run out of fresh material and new storylines. I was wondering how long they could keep this guy going around not giving a damn, while the people he loves and who love him get hurt, before it became trite.
Well, this wasn’t the year, for sure. Somehow, the writers found a way to conjure up another interesting season that only got better as it went along. I ended up watching all the episodes back-to-back, and it was the typical can’t put it down feel.
Karen has now remarried and Becca is all grown up, so Hank sort of has to live his own life and try to make a living after the legal issues he recently endured. That’s when Hollywood comes into the picture, bringing a whole new boatload of troubles.
I really have to give it to the writers and producers for coming up with yet another interesting season of plots after 5 long years. Many series never make it this far still being interesting, and certainly fail at rekindling one’s interest if it has already started to fade.
Grade – Season 5: 7
