Once a series has broken new ground, where does it go from there? Showtime's The L Word, concerning the relationships of a community of lesbian Los Angelenos, turned heads with its smart, funny writing and fully realized characters. Season Two offers more of the same, with some notable guest stars and experiments in narrative and music. This season, Jenny (Mia Kirshner) fully embraces her sexuality as her ex-husband/roomie (Eric Mabius) departs and voyeuristic documentary filmmaker Mark (Eric Lively) and womanchaser Shane (Katherine Moennig) move in. Shane and Jenny struggle good-heartedly over the affections of new character Carmen (Sarah Shahi), who isn't given much to do plot-wise apart from occasionally spinning records and serving as one corner of the love triangle. Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman) start the season on the rocks due to Bette's infidelity; the introduction of the one-dimensionally nasty Helena Peabody (Rachel Shelley) causes further friction between Bette and Tina while playing havoc with Bette's curatorial career. Meanwhile, Dana (Erin Daniels) and Alice (Leisha Hailey) go from being best friends to being a whole lot more, providing some of the most touching scenes of the season. Kit (Pam Grier) takes on The Planet, the seeming center of LA's lesbian universe, converting it into a nightclub where, conveniently, guest-starring bands can play. Strong points of the season include Bette and Kit confronting the death of their father (the superb Ossie Davis) and Shane's new job as a gopher for a high-powered Hollywood producer (the equally superb Camryn Manheim). Less strong are the distracting, neo-expressionistic passages meant to be glimpses into Jenny's creative mind and the interminable use of the series' theme song--re-interpreted in a number of genres--to the point of distraction. Mark's voyeurism, which crosses all sorts of boundaries as he installs hidden cameras around the house, is a brilliant way to challenge male viewers who may tune in just to TiVo their way to the sex scenes. That said, the arc of that particular story grows increasingly far-fetched as Mark somehow avoids criminal prosecution and instead endures the horrible fate of having Jenny refuse his offer of coffee and a muffin. Despite its flaws, The L Word is a show that deserves to be cheered on, not for its politics, but for the skillful way it conveys complex human entanglements with sensitivity. --Ryan Boudinot

 Just wanted to point something out September 12, 2008
Razor Queen(Witch Hunter)
Hey ladies and gents. I love the L-world, despite how un-realistic it is but thats part of the enjoyment, however the horrific opening song by the artist betty is nausiatingly bad, but dont you think its a rip off of the song my favorite things from the sound of music? Or was that the idea...?
 Great Season! August 25, 2008

The L word complete second season was very good. I enjoyed watching it. All of the characters are very talented.The only story line I didn't like was Jenny's. Her story line is so boring and kinda on the crazy side. Dana, and Bette, are the most enthusiastic actor's that makes this show a success, they are the ones who give it that extra boost.
 Buy Season 1 only July 6, 2008
JustMyOpinion (Pittsburgh, PA)
This show went downhill in a hurry when it summarily dismissed its most interesting character, Marina. I watched the first season and was so intrigued with her. Then the first episode of the second season...well, did they really think we would buy that this smart, sexy and intelligent woman would try to KILL herself over of all people..the dysfunctional Jenny? I got half-way through the second season and found myself bored. The L Word really messed up when the let go its only true woman in the the lot of girls. What a waste of a tremendous talent.
The Best Season Ever!! (Besides Season 4) June 27, 2008
Angela D. Green (Brooklyn, NY)
This is absolutely the funniest, sexiest and most intriguing season of the L Word Series... Its the season when Sole Mates Alice n' Dana build a relationship, Carmen and Shane have sexy love affairs then finally discover they belong together, Bette n Tina divorce, then reconcile, then start their family with baby Angelica, Jenny faces her fears and begins to find her voice, Kit gets the greatest gift-a new beginning and the main reason why I love this season is because its the last few performances of Ossie Davis! But I must say Season 4 was breathless I now own all seasons! Can't wait til Season 6 sad thats its coming to an end. I am however writing a screen play for a Black Lesbian Drama series...maybe you all will writie a review for that.. 1love
Great show June 13, 2008
