Hm, It's Okay This series, the L word, is interesting. The positive commentry I have over it is the fact that for once there is a show about the personal and intimate lives of lesbians, which is something you don't see on television or DVD everyday. However, that seems to be the only thing about this show that makes it interesting and slightly different. It's interesting to kind of have a glimpse of the lesbian world behind closed doors and in bars on television. BUT, the criticism i have over this show is just that...the stories are kind of flat. At times the stories are hard to follow, or they are simply too boring. Also, there is nothing much about this show that shows originality, except for the fact that the episodes revolve around these lesbians. I think there should be more to a show than just knowing the sexual preference of the characters. Half of these characters don't seem to have much personality, they're all too comfortable in their cliche, some are quite annoying, and there is barely anything in these characters that you can actually relate to, or actually love. And i wish that they could have made things more natural. It seems as if every single person on the show is a lesbian, except for the sexually confused Jenny and her fiance/bf tim. As i said before, the show lacks originality and excitement in these episodes. They seem to just go nowhere, and i notice at times that one day they can be at the bar, then the next scene can be at some other place and its the next day already. I wish they could specify when something is happening and where. I know this is a lot of criticism for a freshman debut of a new series, but i just think that this show is getting a bit overrated and overlooked because of the lesbian factor of it. Don't get me wrong, it's great that this show revolves around lesbians, and its great that there are a few lesbian sex scenes (not enough though...so don't expect this to be porn) but i just think there should be more to this show than just the fact that these characters are lesbians. They need to put more depth and personality in these characters, and make them more unique, sometimes i feel as if they're so comfortable with each other that they don't even have their own unique personality. Anyway, i give it 3 stars for at least making an effort to create a show based on the love lives of lesbians. I give it 0 stars for originality, there still needs to be some development on this show, so hopefully the creators will put more character and story development by the second season. I recommend for you to rent it and make your own judgements before you actually buy it.
