GamerTab That was an excellent one.
GazerRise Fantastic!
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
gary13136 I've gotten most of the way through the first season. I tend to like the story; some of it is funny, some is heartbreaking, some is very confusing, some is very graphic, and some is very, very gross. But the biggest problem is that there are way too many stories, and way too large a cast. If they could cut down the cast and the number of different situations, then the story would be a lot more enjoyable. I will probably watch the entire series, but I freely admit that I get so put-off by some of the story lines that I tend to fast-forward through them. It sometimes seems that the writers are trying to kill the enjoyment for the viewer.
jmbwithcats The L Word is a series about sexuality, states of being, defining, and becoming. The relationships on the show are woven beautifully; supple, real, and with great care in their human scope.A treat to watch each episode unfold, and to gain an understanding on some level of a world that is so often incomprehensible not only to outsiders, but the people experiencing it first hand.The L Word sparks many thoughts on the subject of homosexuality and lesbianism, relationships, the entanglements of heterosexual relationships, belief systems, and ethics.Some say we are not born with any specific sexual preference, that this is of the body when we take a body. Also note that lesbianism is found in all forms of life, from humans to frogs to seagulls. What does that tell us? And what of bisexuality? The agnostic approach to sexuality. For all I know, perhaps it's Gods way of controlling population.What would cause a woman to be attracted to a woman, or man to man? Is it overcoming the limitations of our biology? or something else? Or perhaps any man or woman could choose this lifestyle simply by giving in to desires, or the art of relationship without boundaries, without thought of propagation, only the interest of feeling at hand. endless is the speculation, and the questions in this circle of thought.Mia Kirshnir's character seems to only "become" lesbian because she is overwhelmed by a move to a new town and already has a fragile identity which is easily influenced by the taboo and powerful woman image of the lesbian.This creates a primordial dichotomous speculation. Is lesbianism/homosexuality part of the natural order or created out of some unnatural event, and what is the fruit of such endeavors? I'm not one who hates gays, or thinks it's wrong, mainly because every gay person I've ever known are some of the best people I've ever met, but since I feel on some level either through my own ignorance, or complete inability to comprehend the underlying premise to me has always appeared as a state of being created out of something like a trauma or other social extreme variables.There's endless speculation that homosexuality is a rebellion against a natural order, but perhaps it's something that not only will I never understand, and do not need to understand. Yet there are so many things I do not understand and I can't help that through this ignorance I am creating negative perceptions such as I am expounding in this post... so in that sense, seeking understanding does seem important even crucial.Or perhaps women sick of being treated with inequality, submissiveness, glass ceilings, decided on some level to live without men, that this would in some small way set them free from these limitations.So how does one find the truth? Perhaps there is no single truth.I had trouble writing this because the people in my life who are gay/lesbian are very important to me, and I feel like I'm walking a fine line between disrespecting them, but I know asking questions is not disrespect, all we can do is hope to unveil our own ignorance and find a better understanding.
LucretiaBorg I had trouble following the show in the beginning, because it wasn't a hit right away, but I did like it a lot, but most of all, I loved their was a show that tried to show us how they live, communicate, what's what (a male lesbian for instance)and especially later on the show, it became even better. Good actors and ensemble, nice to great story lines,although in the beginning it was too tame, but they made up for that one plenty, but that wouldn't have worked if all the lesbians looked unattractive, 'cause nobody likes to watch ugly women having sex and this cast was steaming hot (most of them anyway), but that was also their "problem". No way in hell do all lesbians look like that (pitty though) and even though they showed various characters, like a trans gender, the butchy dike, the closet lesbian and even the experimental one, they all looked tasty, 2 say the least. But that's my only observation, because without them it wouldn't have worked (I'm repeating myself). Do you like good drama,steamy sex scenes, especially between women of cause, some suspense and a lot of womens issues, you will learn to love this show, especially after the death (Spoiler) of one of the key characters,(end spoiler) during all that, the show got a lot more dept, I recommend it, especially women, but also men, just turn of the sound, lol.....
Jessica Carvalho I never had much interest in watching ' L Word'; I always saw being announced on TV and never made a big effort to watch it. It wasn't until a month ago, that some friends told me about how cool this series were, that I got a major interest in it and downloaded most of the seasons. And you know what? I wasn't disappointed at all! In fact, I am downloading the next season!' L Word' shows more then just homosexual girls making out; it shows many issues that modern women need to pass through their lives, specially lesbian women, who most of the things become a little more complicated or bigger because of not following society's regular rules (Like Bette's and Tina's baby daughter, Angelica, that is Tina's biological daughter, so,legally, is only Tina's daughter).The character I found most realistic in the show is Dana, being discrete and reserved about her life and also struggling to come out, specially because sometimes, the show makes us think that being a lesbian is something easy to be and that everybody will accept the situation or be understandable, and the reality is just not like that: we see many families that stop to talk to their daughters and sons, many unforgiven sisters or even brutality on the streets, when some homosexual couple walks in.Ps: I dislike Jenny a lot. I don't agree with many of the things she does and most of her acts. In my opinion, she is annoying,unpleasant and weak in her morals and qualities.
