One of the best films i have seen

An absolute waste of money

A Disappointing Continuation

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This show has a good concept. Satirical exploration of the lesbian/homosexual taboo. My problem is the shows writers show a shallow and extremely superficial understanding of true racial and gender dynamics, it feels like a horrible comic trying to tell a good joke. In attempts to make fun of warped judeo-Christian homophobia, the writing is racist, sexist, and completely naive. Exploring issues like adultery, straight wives exploring bi or lesbian sex, social complications, dadt, etc...the superficial, shallow answer to it all is lesbian sex. Oh well...it's nice to see some of the most beautiful female stars in movie and television naked and eating each other up.

Okay. I am a perfectly straight woman and here is my opinion about this. I understand that this TV show is appreciated by lesbian women. However, it has so much sex in it that if a man watches it, it is a perfect excuse for him to watch basically a pornography without actually watching porn. Whatever noble things you men have to say about it, e. g about the plot and drama and whatever, it's just your animal inside you defending itself because it wants to see women have sex together. If you really wanted to see drama, you would go and watch a drama movie that is not filled with sex. Because this TV show, which only contains only a pathetic excuse for a plot, is actually focused on the touchy kissy scenes with sighs in them, and all people talking about sex. So don't try and justify yourself by saying how "interesting" the characters are or how well made it is. It is an excuse for public pornography in this sex-oversaturated society. I also think that it is pretty pathetic these days to fill movies and TV shows with sex just to make them popular and make more money. It think it is abusing something that is intimate, private, amazing, and holy by making it so profane. It is just showing how not talented dramatist you are if you have to fill your TV show with naked bodies, boobs, and sexual fantasy. God bless great story makers, such as Dylan Moran... Or any of the others.

Firstly somebody said that "The L Word" was a bad title. I don't understand. In my opinion this is one of the best titles ever. It's so original and unique that nobody can take the shine out of it in the near future. You never can find another title which is only made up of one word. L. Secondly it was the weirdest series I have ever seen.After having watched the first episode, I was in just bad opinions and didn't intend to continue it. But as the time went by something moved in me which got me to watch the second episode. I didn't like it either but some reason why I continued it. And after the second season it was still on my blacklist, and I couldn't understand why I insisted to it as much. There was something in it which made me stick to the show. But from the third season it was my favorite. I had my best characters - Jenny, Alice, Dana - and felt that I couldn't stop watching, I had to meet them everyday.The most interesting thing in this show is that they kicked over every rule of the story-lines, made characters appear, disappear without any explanation. They didn't insist to the opened episodes, they continued the next one with a brand-new story. It was like they were playing a game with us. For ex. Helena was the evil in the second season, but in the third one she was everybody's best friend. What? She was so cruel to the girls! And everybody likes her? Yes. With no explanation. And the show was filled with things like this.The only thing which made me disappointed was the last episode. I felt the final season the best one: in the opening episode - Jenny is dead! My favorite Jenny. The story continues 3 months before, after the opening theme. We have to wait a lot. Every episode begins with the same monologue - every character says "I'm gonna kill you Jenny." Which makes us suspicious that who will kill Jenny. And in the final episode I prepared myself that Jenny is gonna die. And she died. But how? The creators give about 3 minutes to her death. We didn't have enough time to feel sorrow for her. Like nothing would have happened. The characters hadn't got enough time to mourn for her either, because they got off the police cars and begin to pose to the cameras in happiness, including the "dead" Jenny too. It would have been a good ending. But what about Jenny? What about Jenny? They ruined her perfect character. Maybe I can find it out after watching it for the second time. Because I will. I have already ordered the whole series. Cannot wait to hold them in my hands. that's it. A unique show. L.

This show was a skeptical buy for me, as a straight woman in a committed relationship with a straight male, I wondered if this show had anything to offer me.After the first episode, I was intrigued. A sense of voyeurism and intrusion are the clearest ways to describe it.I consider myself a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to television series'. However, on the second episode, I really found myself caught in the drama of the series, and becoming sympathetic to the plight of the lesbian female in today's day, and empathetic to the plight of the misunderstood female.Although somewhat depressing that there is not a single loyal member of the group, infidelity is a common error of the L word girls, I found the show humanizing and honest in many ways.It is beautifully filmed, the sets are intricate and creative. The performances are phenomenal, with regular monologues and intensive dialogue, the show thrives because of its brilliant acting cast.It is an interesting voyage, and I appreciate the world I live in more after watching.Raised in a Christian home, brought up very conservatively, I have to say that part of me was a bit hesitant to dive into the L Word for it's nature. However, I found the experience enlightening.At some point, if progressive enough of a mind, you stop thinking of the characters as gay, and start thinking of them as just simply people. The lives portrayed by the women of The L Word are beautiful, intimate, creative and interesting lives, and it opened my eyes all that much more.
