The L Word Is... Lame! Very, very lame. Now, I know most will be disgruntled with this review; I can't help but to find the show tedious and boring. Is this supposed to be controversial television? Pretty much change the lesbian tension to heterosexual tension and you would have any nighttime soap on television. I am a big fan of Queer as Folk and the comparisons are pointless. Queer as Folk is a better show, with better writing, better acting and characters that make you feel something and even, if you watch long enough, make you feel as if you know them. While watching the L Word; I was just begging for these women to shut up. I mean, it was pretty much bed-hopping, complaining and then sitting around drinking lattes and complaining some more. Deadly boring in my point-of-view but would it have hurt to insert some humor, some light-heartedness? Also, I keep reading in these reviews that finally a show that represents lesbians? I do congratulate them for moving beyond the butch stereotype but they traded it for another stereotype, the femme one. I'd love to see a show where the lesbians were more than just lipstick lesbians and have it where all types were involved. At least QAF does that much. But overall, bad acting, bad plots, bad characters. This is television at it's worst.
