Review of The L Word

The L Word (I) (2004–2009)
10/10
an insurmountable show
20 June 2008
No show I've ever seen even holds a candle to The L Word. I own all four seasons, I've watched all five, and I am now ready and waiting for the sixth.

The characters of this show are what make it so amazing. I even love the characters I hate, they're all just that good. The acting is just so beyond words.

And The L Word, more than anything, can make a straight woman feel that being straight is abnormal because they make being a lesbian so natural, something that it is. The combination of the raw, gritty reality if being human and the grace and poise of women achieves something that no other show has yet to achieve.

I don't even really know how to review this show because there's just too much to say. I will say, though, that the charm of this show is how apparent and deliberate the script is and how ballsy the story lines are. They aren't afraid to made the fans angry or upset because they know that they can redeem themselves, and make their decisions that were frowned upon in the beginning, the most memorable and heart-wrenching of the series.

This is a show for anyone and everyone over the age of 16. Just get past the very first episode.
