The L Word is an Americanco-production televisiondrama series originallyshownon Showtime portraying the lives of a group of lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and their friends, family and lovers in the trendy Greater Los Angeles, California city of West Hollywood. Usesthe lives and loves of a small, close-knit group of lesbians living in Los Angeles along withthe friends and family members that either support or loath them. Historicaluse of "the L word Episodes " as code languagecan also be found in the sentence of a letter written by Daphne du Maurier to Ellen Doubleday: "By God and by Christ, if anybodyshouldcall that love by that unattractiveword that startswith 'L', I'd tear their guts out." (Du Maurier, author of Rebecca and other works, was deeply conflicted about her attraction to and unrequited passion for Doubleday, as she would later be about her affair with Gertrude Lawrence.) Sincethe show moves along, it is almost certainto be inclusiveto most if not all lesbian life styles. Give it more than one episode, and try to watch it from beginning to end.I recommend you give it a watch, and a chance and if at the end you still don't enjoyit than it's fair enough, at least you tried. However, I do believe the show is powerfulenough and that well put together that you can't help but like it, you can't help but care what will becomeof these characters, and you can't help but wantmore.this is a top shelf, highbrow, a-class, top qualityshow for intelligent people almost exclusively. the characters are well-developed, and backed by nuanced performances. the dialoguerings true, never TV-like at all. and the story arcs are giftwithout that pesky soap-opera feeling.
