Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune Despite its outwardly rebellious theme -- the unapologetic depiction of the love lives and sex lives of gay women -- the show is mainly just a good, old-fashioned, spicy relationship drama Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe The writers are more confident and directed this season, and their story lines promise to build gradually to a soap-operatic climax. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Ariel Levy Slate It is a deeply pleasurable thing to watch a bunch of lesbians who aren't marginal characters whose maudlin tales of coming out and familial rejection are not really our problem. Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel The L Word is clearly not for everyone, but for those willing to approach it with an open mind it's better than just OK. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Trisha Ready The Stranger (Seattle, WA) The L Word writers need to get closer to the pulse of current queer-women's issues, and then be willing to ride complex themes out to more fragile edges. Mar 21, 2019 Full Review People Staff People Magazine Often The L Word seems to arrange the characters in emotional and erotic poses rather than just let them breathe.
