Editorial Review: Product Description: Explores the personal and professional lives of a group of lesbian and bisexual women in Los Angeles. No Track Information Available Media Type: DVD Artist: L WORD Title: SEASON 3 Street Release Date: 10/24/2006 Genre: TELEVISION Amazon.com: The third season of Showtime's The L Word is all about transitions. The season opens with Alice Pieszecki (Leisha Hailey) coping with her between-seasons break-up with Dana Fairbanks (Erin Daniels), who is herself headed for an even heavier series of transitions. Kit Porter (Pam Grier) both falls in love with a younger man and discovers she is going through menopause. Shane (Katherine Moennig), who spent much of the first two seasons of the show hopping from bed to bed, finds herself more or less committed to Latina deejay Carmen (Sarah Shahi). And the second season's resident villain, Helena Peabody (Rachel Shelley), becomes embroiled in a sexual harassment case that leaves her ultimately looking like the victim. As with previous seasons, The L Word gets all hot and bothered with various seductions filmed to sometimes jarring music on the soundtrack, but it's the day-to-day foibles and celebrations of Los Angeles's lesbian community that keep the show interesting. Newcomer Moira/Max (Daniela Sea) begins the process of gender reassignment, making for some curious situations with potential employers. Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman) begin to drift apart when Tina lands a big movie studio job and starts feeling attracted to men, leading to a custody battle over their baby daughter. Where The L Word starts getting preachy and obvious is in the opening flashback sequences. When these vignettes refer to current characters of the show, they make sense; when they depict situations meant to underline how queer identity has evolved over the years, they seem politically overloaded. The L Word works intelligently through its characters' concerns without having to resort to such direct appeals for tolerance. Its strength isn't in making lesbian culture appear more mainstream, but in making us care and identify with these women's struggles, regardless of our sexual orientation. --Ryan Boudinot Average Rating:
 Rating:  - L Word 3rd seasonIt arrived within two weeks of being ordered. The package was sealed and in perfect shape, just like if i would have gotten it from the store. The only difference between my actual purchase and going to the store was the amount paid, a lot less through Amazon. Rating: - In Defense Of Jenny and Gravity.It is interesting, or worrisome, how many people comment about their preception of Jenny's "stupidity" or how "borning" the character is. I find the character's succintness soooo satisfying. She consistently nails people in rather few well-chosen words. She sees who the people around her are and tells them "like it is". During the early first season I found the Jenny character cloying and really annoying. But as I watched her evolve throughout the three seasons I found I really respect her ...

Rating:  - what happened to this show???Killing off the best character and then replacing her with several new ones who not only aren't interesting, they are sometimes actually painful (or painfully boring) to watch onscreen? I loved this show until the 3rd season came out. If I was a less patient person I would have given up after this point. Thankfully, the show starts redeeming itself in season 4. Rating:  - What happened? Series devolution at its finest.....Where to start. I'll start by saying I have rarely been more disappointed in a series as I am with the 3rd season of The L Word. I really enjoyed the 1st and 2nd seasons, and how miserably off course this series has strayed is hard to fathom, because the first couple seasons do not remotely resemble the train wreck that is the 3rd season of this series. Was there a writers' strike during this season, because the writing, casting, and character development were absolutely horrid. Amateurish, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
