DVD Reviews of The L Word - The Complete Fifth Season
DVD Review: We're almost at the end...
Summary: 4 Stars
Season 5 of The L Word is the second to last season of the show. I've watched (and rewatched) every season and I'm disappointed that the show will be ending after season 6. Lesbians have fallen in love with the characters and storylines. We've cried, laughed, thrown a shoe at the TV a couple of times, and not until season 4 did I begin to realize what attracts us to the show. The lesbian community doesn't have much in the form of entertainment that we can all discuss and connect with. The L Word, through all of its six seasons, have given us something.
In season 5, we're introduced to a few new characters. New characters mean new storylines which sort of make you scratch your head because with only 8 episodes in season 6, they have a lot of loose knots to tie and new storylines mean more knots. But let's talk about the most important characters-the main ones that we've loved since the beginning...
Alice-As we know from season 4, Tasha and Alice have different opinions on the war in Iraq. In this season, Tasha and Alice's relationship is truly tested when Tasha is being investigated for "homosexual conduct".
Jenny-I actually really liked Jenny this season. Although I wouldn't want her as a friend, she's really funny and quite out there. Filming for her movie Lez Girls begins and she meets a girl who she falls for.
Bette/Tina-The love triangle between the two and Jodi is almost enough to make my head hurt. What would you do if you had feelings for two people? Bette must ultimately make a decision.
Shane-Shane meets a new girl this season who happens to be straight. But as we all know, not even straight girls are a problem for Shane.
Kit-Kit runs into a few problems of her own when Dawn Denbo and her lover Cindy open a new lesbian club. Dawn and Cindy clearly love competition but they certainly take it to new heights.
Max-Max is learning a lot about himself this season. As a woman born a lesbian, he turns into a "straight" man, who then turns into a gay man. Woah.
Helena-Helena's presence isn't very important this season until the end when she comes to Kit's rescue.
If I'm comparing this show to my other favorite shows, it's not anything spectacular. In fact, quite a few things annoy me every season. The actors/actresses aren't all that great, the storylines can either be boring or over the top, and nothing truly shocking ever happens. However, my love for Alice, the few laughs that I get, and the fact that this is pretty much the only show specifically for lesbians keep me coming back. I can't wait to see what season 6 brings us.
