The L Word: Season 4

I have watched and own the past 3 seasons of 'The L Word' and have preordered the 4th season. I intend to order every season after this, as well. It's historical. Even though, 'The L Word' is not butch/femme, femme/boi, stone butch, soft butch (ETC.) inclusive with the 501's and white t-shirts, it still is lesbian exposure....from the U.S., no less! In my opinion, ANY exposure is better than no exposure. We have a major network willing to deal with the subject of lesbianism. That, in itself, is a MAJOR deal considering the U.S. is sooooo narrow minded when it comes to the subject of sexuality. This is a step further. Every tiny step, eventually, will amount to lots of progress down the road. Probably, I won't see the inclusion of the much varied lesbian community on any network; however, this should not stop us from continuing to pave the path for the preteen lesbians out there who are desperately seeking ANY lesbian role models. The L Word is an asset to our community.Sept. 18, 07I didn't mention this before, but 'The L Word' has been a great show to watch. I've thoroughly enjoyed each and every episode of each season. I would have loved to have been able to watch a show like this when I was 13!JULY 28, 2008Well, it was fun while it lasted! I have pre-ordered the 6th and final season of 'The L Word'. I truly believe in my comments and convictions which I had written last year. This series has had a fantastic run, and I'm very sad to see it 'go'. However, it is a very good 'start' for television media corporate executives to see. This series has done very well, and this just goes to show what mainstream audiences wish to view (at times). We all know that the majority of people in society(s) have very varied sexual lives. Straight and married have, since the beginning of time, NOT been the norm. All you have to do is google 'historical sexual lives of _______, and you will find so much information that you will not be able to read it all. Or, google something similar. Just change your words around a bit. I hope we see more series like or similar to 'The L Word' in the very near future.

Season 4 is the best of the first 4 seasons. The depth and dimension of the plot in this season comes from the fact that it finally has a broader character diversity and also digs deeper into social issues. In season 3, the show introduced its first character who is not from art, fashion or music background. Max/Moira is the only character in science or technology (yes, finally). In season 4, we now have two characters in IT, Max and Grace. This season also introduces Tasha, who is in military. Bette and Phyllis portray people in academia (although their personalities and stories are quite inaccurate portrayals compared with real life).I applaud the show for (albeit only lightly) touching issues like transphobia, sexism and women in science and engineering, gays in military, abandoned kids and parental responsibilities, bullying in schools, political differences, middle-aged closeted lesbian, etc. I also enjoy deeper development of characters like Shane, Alice, Max, and Helena. These give the show dimensions and makes it look less like a cheap soap opera/soft porn with shallow sex scenes aiming at perverted straight men audience as it had been in some of the previous seasons (mainly the first season and the end of season 2 basically). I've been enjoying this season a lot.

The writing was excellent and hilarious. The chemistry of the cast by season 4, developed onscreen into a rarely seen gem. Very entertaining and only surpassed by season 5.

I liked Season 1-6 - and now I don't know what to 'watch' - or if they are going to make a return <<<?>>> Anyone know ?The actresses are all great, and there are many movie stars that come and go -The story lines are complicated and everyone has a problem but there are about 9 major characters, so you never can keep up with it all - but I could relate , and enjoyed each an every season !!!

After viewing season three i really thought the L Word may have jumped the shark. I am pleased to say after viewing the entire new season 4 collection that the writing made a major come back and i will be waiting in anticipation for season 5 for the next year.The additional characters and story lines added to the show this year were much more real and thoughtful. My hope is that the regulars all return next season and the writers to not allow Jenny to take over the year with any more bizarre epidsodes that continue to make me want to cringe.I think this was one of the best seasons of the L Word period and highly suggest any doubters give it a look. The girls all looked great this year!

We've bought all the seasons, and pre-bought upcoming seasons as soon as they were announced. It's great to have the extra features available on the DVD, be able to choose which episodes to watch or re-watch, and invite friends over to watch with us. Though we don't relate to the extremes the characters portray -- excess, beauty, lots and lots of sex with many partners, and what seems like a trademark of the show: the constant use of the word f@ck -- we do enjoy the twists and turns. And hey -- Isn't it always nice to stare at a screen of beautiful, intelligent and for the most part prosperous people?

I'am a straight womand and I love this series. The 4th is my favorite season from the L Word, because it is the funniest. The basketball tournament episode ceacked me up. My only critique of the series is that there is no need for the super sexual explicit scenes, because the writing is so good and the actresses are so good that there is really no need. You have to leave something to the imagination.
