Firstly somebody said that "The L Word" was a bad title. I don't understand. In my opinion this is one of the best titles ever. It's so original and unique that nobody can take the shine out of it in the near future. You never can find another title which is only made up of one word. L. Secondly it was the weirdest series I have ever seen.
After having watched the first episode, I was in just bad opinions and didn't intend to continue it. But as the time went by something moved in me which got me to watch the second episode. I didn't like it either but some reason why I continued it. And after the second season it was still on my blacklist, and I couldn't understand why I insisted to it as much. There was something in it which made me stick to the show. But from the third season it was my favorite. I had my best characters - Jenny, Alice, Dana - and felt that I couldn't stop watching, I had to meet them everyday.
The most interesting thing in this show is that they kicked over every rule of the story-lines, made characters appear, disappear without any explanation. They didn't insist to the opened episodes, they continued the next one with a brand-new story. It was like they were playing a game with us. For ex. Helena was the evil in the second season, but in the third one she was everybody's best friend. What? She was so cruel to the girls! And everybody likes her? Yes. With no explanation. And the show was filled with things like this.
The only thing which made me disappointed was the last episode. I felt the final season the best one: in the opening episode - Jenny is dead! My favorite Jenny. The story continues 3 months before, after the opening theme. We have to wait a lot. Every episode begins with the same monologue - every character says "I'm gonna kill you Jenny." Which makes us suspicious that who will kill Jenny. And in the final episode I prepared myself that Jenny is gonna die. And she died. But how? The creators give about 3 minutes to her death. We didn't have enough time to feel sorrow for her. Like nothing would have happened. The characters hadn't got enough time to mourn for her either, because they got off the police cars and begin to pose to the cameras in happiness, including the "dead" Jenny too. It would have been a good ending. But what about Jenny? What about Jenny? They ruined her perfect character. Maybe I can find it out after watching it for the second time. Because I will. I have already ordered the whole series. Cannot wait to hold them in my hands. that's it. A unique show. L.
