    The greatest movie ever made..!

    Organnall

    Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

    Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

    This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

    An entertaining depiction of the lesbian world in LA. What I like the most is how, for moster of the time, real the show feels. It doesnt have that studio feeling to it that many series have. Sometimes the humour can be a bit too unrealistic but I can live with that. I like that there is a show about lesbians, I think its important.

    Loved the whole series but season 6 was a bit of a let down, to end it with not knowing who killed Jenmy and how did Max get on with the birth of his baby,. It needed another season to make sense of season 6. It still had a lot to give like Bette & Tina would they stay in New York, would Alice and Tasha have gone on to have a child, would Shane ever settle down, new people could have been brought in its such a shame to end it. I mean Lucy Lawless who played the cop could be gay and hit it off with maybe Shane or Helena. But as a straight woman I thought the whole series was great and believable apart from some of season 6, it gives you an insight into lesbian life and relationships.

    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.

    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.
