Season Two begins on February 20, 2005 at 10pm
Sunday night (21 Nov) starts the full rerun of The L Word's first season on ShowTime. I have to admit that I started watching this show last year because Sex and the City ended and I was looking to see if this show could fill that gap. OK I'll admit it I hadn't seen Jennifer Beals since Flash Dance and I was amazed that she still looked that good.
Where Sex and the City was a humorous commentary on living single in the city, the L Word is a running commentary on a group of friends that are mostly Lesbian living in L.A.. The L Word didn't try to copy Sex and the City in any way shape or fashion. This show was designed as a drama version of friends with more adult themes (ok, ok, more sex).
As with any new show this one started with a lot of cliches and with any TV show they fill the slots with the "Beautiful People" so there very few "butch" women to be seen. Even with the cliches I was hooked and watched the whole season. This drama had me curious each week about what was going to happen next. I love the way these characters tied together and when it ended after only 13 shows there was a void, I wanted more. I think if you give this show a chance you won't regret it.
