Episode 1. Pilot
In this pilot episode, we see Moody lurch from one affair to another while trying to somehow convince Karen that they should resume their relationship. Their 12-year-old daughter Becca is wise beyond her years, with a maturity that easily exceeds that of her father, and often surpasses her mother’s too. Through it all, Becca accepts her father for who he is, no matter how reprehensible his behaviour can often be. For his part, Hank takes pride in fatherhood, offering her a respect he rarely awards his numerous sexual conquests. Ultimately, he yearns for redemption, in terms of career, monogamy and fatherhood – but how will he convince Karen to give him another chance?

Episode 2. Hell-A Woman
Hank is missing New York like mad, especially as he’s barely written a word since arriving on the west coast. His agent and best friend, Charlie, is despairing at his inability to write. Reacting to a moment of silence, he tells Hank, ‘That’s the sound of my phone not ringing for you.’Help is at hand, though. Hell-A magazine writer Nora suggests to Hank that he should channel his rage and write a blog for the publication. Hank is rather more interested in playing around than writing, but with Nora firmly in a relationship, he opts for the woman who passed over her phone number when they were stuck in traffic. The woman turns out to be a porn star whose latest flick has been very loosely ‘inspired’ by the film of Hank’s book. Maybe he’ll approve of that adaptation instead...

Episode 3. The Whore of Babylon
Tonight’s episode begins with a well-attended bookshop signing for Moody, which is interrupted by the furious arrival of Todd Carr, the man who directed the A Crazy Little Thing Called Love movie that has upset Hank so much. The author’s constant sniping in the press has finally made Carr’s patience snap.Having been offered writing work – a blog for top magazine Hell-A – Hank is dissatisfied with the project, although this may be because the man in charge of the magazine is Bill, who just so happens to be Karen’s future groom. Bill’s also at the end of his tether with Hank, but while he wants the maverick writer to continue blogging, he has some advice: ‘Forget about the woman you didn’t want to marry’.Unbeknown to Bill, Hank has already bedded his teenage daughter Mia. She now needs some help for her creative writing class, and with her tutor having not put pen to paper in five years, who better to guide her than a top author who nevertheless is no longer interested in the process of writing?Indeed, Hank is so disenchanted that he fires his agent and best friend Charlie for the umpteenth time. Charlie in turn tells his incompetent assistant Dani that her services are no longer required, but it isn’t long before she is hastily reinstated. What’s changed his mind?

Episode 4.  Fear and Loathing at the Fundraiser
In this week’s episode of the adult comedy-drama, the acclaimed but disenchanted novelist Hank Moody has to bite his tongue. Meredith, his current flame, has a suggestion as to how their relationship can progress beyond the confines of the bedroom. Her idea is for them to attend a fundraising event in aid of the environment. ‘I’m not a joiner,’ he whines, but he reluctantly agrees to go anyway.On his way to the fundraiser, Hank stops off at ex-girlfriend Karen’s house in order to present their 12-year-old daughter Becca with a very special gift. The only drawback is that it’s exactly the sort of present that Karen has discouraged him from buying for her. As ever, it’s Becca who has the most incisive, wily questions about her parents’ relationships.At the environmental fundraiser, Hank’s agent Charlie tries to sign up an A-lister, who is dismissed by Hank with a typically unprintable riposte. Karen turns up too, and she trades wisecracks with Hank. On meeting a fellow author, Hank demeans her style of escapist writing, but is wrong-footed by her candour about the realities of the publishing world.

Episode 5.  LOL
Bill asks Hank to give a short talk on creative writing in the all-girls school attended by Bill’s daughter Mia. Hank accepts and he proves to be a hit with the girls – he even has trouble leaving the classroom with the admiring students flocking around him. He also learns just why teacher Nick Lowry thinks he’s got the best job in the world, which even Hank finds rather troubling.Elsewhere, Hank’s best friend and agent Charlie Rumkle is going through a rough patch in his marriage as his wife Marcy demands more sex from him, and of an especially kinky sort in particular.Things are just as problematic for Hank in his new relationship with lawyer Meredith. When he is giving an interview on a radio talk show hosted by punk rock icon Henry Rollins (as himself), the author complains about the dumbcyber-speak that has taken over the English language, what with all the text message abbreviations and silly acronyms used in everyday speech these days. Unfortunately, Meredith is quite fond of expressing herself that way, and she takes Hank’s general rant rather personally and splits up with him – not without saying goodbye, though.Meanwhile, Hank’s daughter Becca experiences the pangs of a broken heart for the first time when her guitar teacher is pounced upon by Mia, much to the chagrin of Becca, who is clearly smitten.

Episode 6. Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder begins with a proposition for Hank. A visit to the supermarket finds him meeting an attractive surfer girl who ends up staying the night at his house. Things go well at first, as the two bond over why vinyl albums sound infinitely superior to anything from the digital age. Come the morning, though, he wakes up to find not only that she is gone, but that some of his possessions are too!There is also a shock for Hank’s agent Charlie Rumkle, who has been conducting a series of sex games with his incompetent but alluring assistant Dani. This week, their affair is in danger of being exposed when Charlie’s wife Marcy unexpectedly shows up at the office. As Dani saves his skin, Marcy comments, ‘She’s like your little slave, that one’. It’ll only be a matter of time before Charlie and Dani’s affair is discovered, so he is inspired to try and spice up his sex life with Marcy. But will he be able to take home the sort of sex he’s been enjoying at the office?Meanwhile, having previously bedded Mia without knowing her age or the identity of her father, Hank’s relationship with her is now a creative one; she’s been excelling in writing classes at school after submitting material written by him. He now persuades her to find her own identity and offers to help her with her attempts to write her own assignments.As for Becca, she’s also displaying an artistic bent in her role as lead singer and guitarist in the group Kill Jill, who perform at a school Battle of the Bands. Hank and Karen are proud parents indeed, even though when Karen asks Hank at one point in the performance, ‘Are you crying?’ he will only mutter something about ‘allergies’.

Episode 7. Girls, Interrupted
Hank is concerned when he discovers that Becca, who possesses a philosophical outlook that belies her youth, doesn’t believe in happy endings – a result of his and Karen’s failed relationship. Karen admits that when it comes to matters of the heart you have to be realistic, but Hank firmly believes that anything is possible, especially in love. With this in mind, Hank continues to pursue his dream of winning Karen back in a bid to prove to Becca that happy endings do sometimes exist. But will Becca just end up disappointed again?Meanwhile, Hank’s best friend and agent Charlie Rumkle is contemplating a dream of his own: he hopes that a ménage à trois will help save his marriage to Marcy. But he doesn’t count on the third person in his threesome being the woman he has been having an affair with, his secretary Dani. After failing to convince Marcy to choose someone else, Marcy’s fantasy is brought to life. However, the reality of the situation doesn’t quite live up to everyone's expectations.Elsewhere, Todd Carr, the man who directed the film version of Hank’s novel, is keen to work with him again but Hank isn’t so sure, considering that their last encounter ended in fisticuffs. However, he soon agrees when he finds out that Todd has something that could earn him some major brownie points with Karen. She is thrilled by what follows, but before they get the chance to celebrate, they receive a call from Mia. Will the teenage temptress finally spill the beans about her relationship with Hank?

Episode 8. California Son
California Son begins with Hank staring at a blank computer screen, still unable to write. His inactivity is soon shattered when he receives a phone call from his sister, who delivers the devastating news that their father has died.While drowning his sorrows in a bar, Hank meets a woman named Trixie who fails to reveal that she is a prostitute. When Hank finds out, the deed has already been done but Hank is all out of cash after buying a load of cocaine. Hank takes a few punches from Trixie’s pimp before his agent and best friend Charlie arrives to bail him out.Charlie offers Hank his condolences for the loss of his father, but Hank is adamant that he is not going to the funeral, proclaiming his father to be the "moodiest of Moodys". As Hank struggles with bad memories of his father, a series of flashbacks provide a rare glimpse into Hank's history.It is revealed that Karen and Hank split because she had an affair with a man whose house she was redesigning, although their relationship had deteriorated long before that – a result of Hank’s hectic schedule and inflated ego. We also learn that when it comes to womanising, Hank was heavily influenced by his father, who had many affairs throughout his marriage. This appalled Hank, making him a more committed father.Back in the present, Hank and Karen find themselves drawn back towards each other and Hank admits that he still loves her. Is there a chance that Becca will get her wish and that Karen and Hank will be reunited?
