Plot: The series revolves around Hank Moody, a charming writer and novelist plagued with personal demons. He blames his years-long case of writer’s block on a variety of reasons, ranging from the hedonism of Los Angeles, to his on-again, off-again relationship with his girlfriend Karen. Hank constantly deals with the fallout of his sex addiction, while trying to show his family that he can be a good, caring person.
