The L Word

I watched MANY consecutive episodes of the L word yesterday. The 4th season is approaching in January and it is available on demand right now. (on Showtime)

If you need a brief recap I am your girl.

Can I begin by saying this is absolutely the best Soap Opera.

Briefly:

I hated Bette, but now I love her. She likes to scream a lot. Plus, Flashdance was my favorite movie for like ever.
Shane is HOT! Probably because she is damaged.
Dana Fairbanks is pretty lame, but after season 3 she grows on you.
I can not stand Jenny. Self-obsession gets even worse as the series progresses.
Tina is so uneventful. She manages to even make child-birth boring.
Alice is Alice. Her name should be Magda or something... but Alice is interesting.
Mirina is a terrible human. She phases out.
Kit is a diva.
The absolutely hottest one is Carmen. I mean really, Carmen. She's a Mexican-American hotty who is also a DJ with a kickass tatoo.

I have to say that the writing isn't the most intelligent but they do handle a lot of gender-specific issues, art vs. god, and other social justice issues. All in what I can tell is six blocks of West Hollywood.

This being the glutonous weekend that it is - I suggest watching the entire first season. There is always next weekend for season two.
