CALIFORNICATION (Season 4)

It’s a week of poor televisual fortunes as Dan and Dave embark on the return of regular TV shows, but find options still rather slim.

The lads discuss:

  • Californication (S05E01)
  • House of Lies (S01E01)
  • Happy Endings (S02E10)
Dave and Dan also take some time this week to discuss their favourite legal dramas.
