Non anime - L Word - Season 1 2 3 4!

What can I say about the L Word?

Lots.

Really, I never really thought any lesbian TV show would be any good. I mean, even South of Nowhere is pretty pitiful in that aspect. When I first heard about The L Word, I kept thinking "I'm too young to watch this" and "All the characters are like 30."

First of all, I'm not THAT young. Second of all, there are characters in their 20s. So there.

But that doesn't matter. What matters is that The L Word has got to be the greatest non-anime TV show for lesbians in existance. And most people will agree with me.

For those of you straight people and those of you gay people under a rock, The L Word is a weekly hour-long drama on Showtime. It airs Sunday at 10PM EST. It has aired for four seasons and has three episodes left (including tonight's). The cast has gone through many changes, but this season has 11ish main characters, an increase from 8ish in season one.

The story takes place in LA (even though it's filmed in Canada) in a very very gay side of town. I'll try not to post spoilers here. The story starts out when Jenny moves in with her boyfriend Tim from someplace in the midwest. Next door is long-time lesbian couple Bette and Tina who are trying to have a baby. They are friends with Alice, who is creating a social network called "The Chart" that shows how everyone is connected romantically, Dana, who is a closeted tennis player without any gaydar (tho she is called the gayest of the whole group), and Shane, who comes from a bad past filled with sex and drugs and is trying to change her ways despite her lack of abiltiy to commit for more than a few hours.

The whole thing is very dramatic. Jenny becomes the most hated character, Alice and Dana the most lovable, and the whole thing rocks.

There are a bunch of great podcasts for recaps, and AfterEllen.com has great, funny, sarcastic-ish recaps that make me smile. A lot.

The L Word = AWESOME!
