I remember watching first season of Californication years ago. I liked it very much but for some reason I forgot about it and I missed the rest of the show. Recently I was talking with some friends and the show popped out. So, I watched it and... the first two seasons were amazing with unexpected second season finale. For 24 episodes we saw a father with peculiar hobby (drinking and hooking up with damaged girls) who tries to get his life sorted out. First two seasons were funny, intelligent and I felt the chemistry with the characters.
Next two seasons were good, followed the path but something was missing. I noticed that I didn't care about the story and by the end of season 4 I barely cracked a smile.
Rest of the show was a sad trip down the hill. Show got unfunny, almost forced and I lost all interest in the characters.
Overall I liked the show and I should return to it in few years. But it was a missed opportunity. I think if the story was shorter (like 4-5 seasons) and some fillers were dropped it would be whole much better.
