Amazing 2008-03-17
This season is what started the fire. All the other seasons, in my opinion, pale in comparison. The storyline is so involving, and so realistic. Excellent work.
Entertaining, but a tad unrealistic.....

I enjoyed watching the first season of "The L Word." In the beginning, during the first few episodes, I didn't think I was going to particularly care for the series, but as I progressed further into each episode I began to care more and more about each character.
The series revolves around a group of lesbians (and one or two bisexuals) whose lives are intertwined in one way or another. On the whole, the issues touched upon in this first season are the kind one would find in every day ordinary life, namely love, friendship, betrayal, jealousy, etc. It is fun to watch this group interact with one another. You'll also find several episodes dedicated to larger societal issues, such as censorship and gay parenting.
On the whole, however, you will not be bogged down with excessive political agenda-setting maneuvering, and I appreciated that this series didn't attempt to resolve all the world's problems in one fell swoop in its first season. You won't find any over-the-top Rosie O'Donnell-type obnoxiousness, and I suspect the series wouldn't be as successful as it has been if this had been the case. There is a nice balance in this first season, and those who aren't inclined towards misandry, misanthropy, or the chronic malcontent mindset will surely find something to like somewhere along the way.
One thing I didn't particularly care for, and which is not exclusive to this show in particular, was the fact that almost all the characters are beautiful, slim and trim, and have very interesting careers and lives. Come on. We all know better. But then again, I doubt very many people would want to watch the daily machinations and inner workings of this subculture's most obnoxious and undesireable.
All in all, I really enjoyed the first season of The L Word.
Not what I expected 
2007-09-25
I heard that this show was the lesbian version of Sex and the City which is not at all true. They don't delve into fashion at all. The show is mostly about lesbian relationships which is great, but the story line wasn't believable.
But I must admit that I still purchased Season 2 because there's something addictive about it...
How It All Began ... May Contain Spoilers 2007-07-09
One of the main reasons I purchased the first season of The L Word was because I came into the series late, at the beginning of Season 3. So of course I wanted to know how it all came about.
Season One finds Jenny Scheckter moving in with her fiancee Tim in sunny LA. Soon, she finds out her neighbors are something else again. After witnessing Shane and her girlfriend making out in the pool, Jenny becomes fascinated with the lesbian lifestyle. As she gets out and begins meeting people, her curiosity soars. When she meets Marina at a party ... fascination becomes infatuation. Then the drama really begins.
Unable to resist Marina's attentions, she and Jenny enter into an affair. Tim one day finds them out and after a brief reconciliation the marriage ends in an annulment.
Season one introduced some of the most interesting characters, only to let them slowly slip into oblivion by mid Season Two. The most sorely missed to me is the character of Ivan ... a drag king who became deeply smitten with Kit. I thought this character lent a lighthearted romantic tag to the series and I'd love to see her written back in.
The most tense moment was in the end when Tina caught on to Bette and the carpenter (sorry the character's name escapes me at the moment) and Tina leaves. The heartwrenching struggle Dana had to endure coming out, not only to the public but to her parents lent good drama to the series as well, and was handled, I thought, in an appropriate manner, although I'd like to have seen her mother come around a little sooner.
Overall, I adore this series, I'll be purchasing Season Two so I have the whole thing to watch over and over again. There are life lessons thoughout this thought-provoking series for all of us out there.
