the l word

so
(generally)
i'm not a tv fan
but
i did fall head over heels for
the l word.

that being said.
i do have some bones to pick
with
the l word

peeves


a) why must season 1-4ish portray lesbians as hyper-sexualized outlaws?
lesbians have sex. and kinky sex. so do hetero's. but.
it really seemed like the emphasis was on this culture of lesbianism
that is afraid of commitment and enjoys lots of random casual sex in random places.
b) why is jenny so damn insane?
she had me screaming at the tv too often.
not cool.
c)the end.
seriously? i need more details.
i was left in a dark abyss of uncertainty.
i didn't come all this way for utter confusion.

now
it was also fantastic
for many reasons

praise

a) the history shots in seasons 1-4ish
fantastic idea. gives a general idea
of the experience of gay men and women throughout history
b)alice.
how freakin fantastic is she?
c) an appropriate amount of on the edge of your seat drama
always leaves you wanting more.
but.
you could also sleep on it.
d) the general daily life experiences of all characters
inter-race relationships and adoption, homosexual partnerships, acceptance, rejection, violence, parties, sub-cultures, temptation and so much more!
e) the diversity of characters.
f to m trans, m to f trans, lesbians, transsexuals, bisexuals, hetero's, commitment phobes, sexually confused peoples, sexually frustrated peoples, and the list goes on...
f) captivating, believable tv
hard to come by these days

clearly.
the praise outweighs the peeves
so
watch it :)
