M. M.Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 20191.0 out of 5 starsToo left wing crazy.
Liked the first go ‘round of this show. Stopped watching this one 30 min into ep 1 b/c it’s waaaaaay too political. Beals’ character shames the daughter of a man who invests in opiate pain medication and that is HORRIFIC due to the crisis we are in. But why do you blame the makers of drugs that make life comfortable for cancer patients, surgical patients, and the like? Isn’t it a personal responsibility (and the Doctors’) to not become an addict? Certainly we have a ton of education out there about using pain meds responsibly. There’s no excuse. If manufacturers don’t make pain meds anymore, sick and injured people will heal very poorly and many will commit suicide. Is that better? At least most addicts stay alive! I was an RN so I know first had how important pain meds are for the people that need them. Demonizing the makers or investors is cutting the tree down because a few apples went sour. But that means no more apples. Its myopic and plain histrionic. So I will not be supporting this nutso show. And I hope any one of them needs pain meds one day- and GETS THEM.
Paul AllaerReviewed in the United States on December 10, 20194.0 out of 5 starsReunited! (And it feels so good)
The original L Word TV series ran from 2004 to 2009, and now after a 10 year hiatus is BACK! Well, sort of. As the slightly different titled "The L Word: Generation Q" implies, we are dealing with a revamped cast, including a younger generation.
The good news is that three key characters (Bette, Alice and Shane) all are back.. In Episode 1, there is quite a bit of emphasis on Bette (played by Jennifer Beals) is running for the office of Mayor (of LA). Alice (played by Leisha Heiley) has her "Alice" TV talk show, which apparently is doing quite well. And Shane (played by Katherine Moennig), well, that's not quite as easy. Shane lands in LA in a private jet, after years away from LA. But how exactly Shane is able to afford a private jet or the luxurious pad she buys in LA isn't made clear. Besides those 3 returning characters, we are introduced to a bunch of new characters. Episode 1 keys in on Dani Nunez, who is the director of communications at her dad's (big pharma-like) company. We also spend a lot of time with Angie, Bette's 16 yr. old daughter.
As the Peaches & Herb song goes: "Reunited, and it feels so good!". The original "L Word" TV series was at its core a soap opera, and the same is true for the new "L Word: Generation Q". The themes are updated to account for the 10 year gap, but that is really the only difference. New episodes of "The L Word: Generation Q" air on SHO on Sunday evening and then are of course available on demand. Bottom line: if you enjoyed the original series, you'll enjoy this too.

schone tote madchenReviewed in the United States on July 24, 20205.0 out of 5 starsits back
Verified purchaseThe L Word is back with hot lesbian sex , keep it all lesbian the trans story nearly killed it just like alan cummings was such a miscast in the past. Just keep it all lesbian , with such as coming out stories , lesbian blackmail on a teacher , police officer etc just a few ideas as well the effects of covid 19 thank you.
CaitlinReviewed in the United States on December 30, 20191.0 out of 5 starsToo political and trying to be "cool"
The original L word had a lot of character development and story lines unique to each character. This is something that this show is severely lacking. This L word should be re-branded as a political drama and a show trying to tick all their politically correct boxes to prove how inclusive and with the times they are. The relationship between Dani and Sophie seems forced and not authentic. There is a sex scene every few minutes, but without the character development, it seems more like a porno. I was excited to see the OG L Word cast, but that is the only positive to this. We also finally solved the decade long mystery of who killed Jenny. One of the most appealing things from the original L word was the friendship, how everyone would gather at the Planet. This show does not have that. All the characters lives are seperate and while they work together, it does not feel like they are close friends except for the OG three (Bette, Shane, Alice).
ChrisReviewed in the United States on December 29, 20191.0 out of 5 starsDisappointing.
The original was awesome because it was heavy on story and the shock and sex was secondary. This new one comes on WAY too strong- it's more of "See, we can put this on TV!" theme and seems more like they are trying to turn away anyone who's not 400% on board with every alternative lifestyle out there. This is more for a very young, loud crowd with a short attention span who need to see something sexy or shocking in every scene and need almost nothing as far as a connection to the characters. This would have been better if it were just a continuation of the original, even if just with the older cast and a continuing story. Newer and younger is not always better.

audrey dReviewed in the United States on January 14, 20201.0 out of 5 starsSame lesbian dysfunction a decade later
I somehow thought this might be a somewhat wiser L Word. I was quite wrong. The've added some new and younger LGBTQ characters, which I enjoy, except for the young blonde lesbian who is so self involved and syphoning off everyone else she's pretty unbearable. Meanwhile there's still plenty of self sabotage, affairs, 3-ways with exes and current lovers, revenge hook ups ... real grown up sh*t (NOT!). it was a real struggle to make it through to episode 3 as i wanted to give it a fair chance. there are some good story lines here but the dysfunction is just simply annoying to watch. if you want to see a great lesbian show roll over to showtime and watch Work in Progress.
TroothSayerReviewed in the United States on December 20, 20195.0 out of 5 starsGIVE IT A CHANCE
Watched the first episode 3x in a row was so happy to see the original characters again. Some of the new characters? Not feelin' em so much yet (Dani, kind of stiff acting and it seems pretty obvious where she and Bette are going). I don't understand how someone whose family biz is pushing pharms can just flip one day and grow a conscience. Tobani, so far really annoying, but once I read her character's bio on showtime.com and it mentioned she's trying to overcome a religious background it kind of explained how annoyingly chipper she, is. Totally worth giving it a chance, I'm on my 2nd watch of episode 2. Very promising IMO.
