Review of The L Word

The L Word (I) (2004–2009)
7/10
Entertaining, to a point....
27 September 2019
This series about Lesbian life in LA started out well with a mix of interesting characters (Bette, Tina, Alice, Shane, Jenny, Kit, Marina) and a storyline that developed quite well over the first 4 Seasons, then it all went downhill. In the beginning the sex scenes were handled with sensitivity, but the introduction of new characters from S4 onwards and the way the plot that developed around Jenny was ridiculous. Intimate scenes became gratuitous and the storyline farcical. It was a chance to shine a spotlight on life in the LGBTQ community but a missed opportunity to be a great series. Over all, it was entertaining, but from Season 4 onwards the producers and writers lost the plot, literally.
