The L Word

Duxxy · 08-24-2004, 09:55 AM

I did a search but didn't find a forum for this show. I know that it aired some time ago in the US but we are just getting it now in Ontario. I get it on CHCH tv out of Hamilton (but they are owned by Global) It's been airing every night Mon - Sat at 10pm.

What a frikkin show!! It's sexy and a little controversial and wonderfully uplifting all at once. I've only missed 2 shows - because I thought it was weekly, not daily.

Am I the only one watching?

We had "The L Word" on Showtime (I think) last winter. Its a good show. I'm waiting to see if it makes it to season 2.

When does the first season come out on DVD?

I'm watching the first season in reruns. Just TiVO'd last night's episode and will watch it when I get home.

I believe they are filming new episodes at this time. Showtime actually renewed it for a second season after episode 2 of the first season. It was one of their quickest renewals ever.

I've been reading up on the series and the reviews haven't been all that good .. it's been called a watered down version of Sex and the City and Queer as Folk but not as edgy. There are only 2 actual lesbians on the show (Alice and Gabby) and they say that it's very light on storylines but heavy on 'lesbo sex' :rolleyes.. I don't care what the critics have to say I love this show.

Can you pm me and fill me in on what I'm missing, FH??

Texi you can find all of the episode synopsis here but it can't give you the feel for the characters - the dialogue is probably old school for Sex and the City/Melrose Place fans. I really like the characters in this show.. even the priggish Bette (Jennifer Beals)
