The L Word is one of the most original shows I've ever seen. It deals with real issues that lesbians have, but at the same time maintains its humor (some of the one liners are hilarious). It's not trying to be perfect or overly explicit (although the sex scenes are nowhere near self-conscious). The women on the show are all gorgeous and very talented.
The acting is the most solid part of the show. Some of the characters show so much emotion with so little dialogue. The show has no limitations. Pretty much every boundary was crossed by the end of the first episode, and that's a good thing. This is by far my favorite show, and if you haven't seen it you really should. Gay or straight, you'll love it.
I think that some people are so used to watching 1 or 2 dimensional garbage they wouldn't know a really good show if it jumped up and slapped them.
This show is EXCELLENT. Nuance, subtext, the characters are so real... they breathe! Progressive, professional, feminine, sexy and proud of it. Keep up the good work Chaiken and crew!
Llene Chaiken's "The L Word" is an ensemble melodrama that plunges us into the world of a tight-nit group of lesbians. Once the show starts rolling, the characters sink their teeth into you and don't let go. The dramatic outbursts are raw and, at their best, difficult to watch. The performances are precise and jump boldly and with full commitment through each flaming hoop.
"L Word" could have coasted by on a lesbian theme, but it doesn't settle for doing anything easy and becomes so much more - a dramatic juggernaut. This show has more momentum behind it to become a classic than most dramas on today. The mark left by a great series is one that creates a world that you would want to live in, and "L" creates and puts you right in this universe.
"The L Word" is a soulful, addictive thing of beauty and the best pure character drama on TV.
