5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite seasons-Jenny is great!!, August 31, 2008

This review is from: The L Word - The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)

The fifth season of The L Word was probably my second favorite aside from the first season. I loved Jenny's character in this season. She became even more outrageous but I thought she was funny and cute at the same time. The idea of watching them make her book into a movie was great! Because she finally got her book published and now having studios fighting over the rights to her movie...her spoiled girl act was my favorites of all. I don't want to give away any spoilers but I can't believe what Adele did! There's that saying: always watch out for the quiet ones and wow, is that true in this case. The only thing I didn't care for was having Marlie Matlin back in this season. For some reason, I thought she was leaving after the end of the fourth season. I miss Kristanna Loken, who played Shane's love interest in season 4. But Shane is Shane, as I noticed at the end of seasons 3, 4 and 5. But as a Jenny fan, I really liked this season. Even after watching a week's episode, I couldn't help watching the repeat of it, which was right after. Lot of good things were in this season but if you're a Jenny fan, I think you'll really love it!! Did I mention I liked Jenny?

This review is from: The L Word - The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)

I'm a huge Tibette fan!! I never seen any other actors/actresses who have the best chemistry on screen, like JB and LuH. So after all the drama, the heartache, FINALLY my favorite coupLe in the show are BACK TOGETHER! And hope this time it'll stick! Lots of Laughter this season which I Love! and much more Tibette's Love this season as well! I can't wait to own this DVD! Most importantly, can't wait for the new season, which sadly would be the Last one. I don't know what I'd do when the show ended, although there will be a spin-off, but still don't know which character. Love the L word! :)

3.0 out of 5 stars storyline good but lacks enthusiasm and appeal, December 12, 2008

By 

SolarRay "SolarRay" (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The L Word - The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)

After watching Season 5 and comparing it with other seasons, the storyline is still good and entertaining. However in this season I lack enthusiasm, emotional appeal - as if the emotional connection between the characters has weaked. I don't know if it depends on how the actors are directed or that the viewers is not drawn deeply enough into the lives, feelings and issues of the characters as in previous seasons.
In some of the episodes the storyline is abrupted, and the viewer just see the outcome but now how something happened (took place).
Overall L-word is worth watching and has a few funny episodes and scenes like the mud wrestling.
