Dreams come true and new life paths are forged for many of the series' characters this year, but not without the The L Word's trademark provocative storylines, sizzling sexuality, and heart-rending emotion.

Excellent ending, given the cut short budget
I was really intrigued by the story line and for the idea that Jenny gets killed off. She was a girl from the mid west, come out to the west to venture a new life with her boyfriend, fiancee, ex husband then to have realized her sexuality isn't what she had thought because of her misconstrued nature of life. she was an excellent character, and she acted very well, she was the one character that i just wanted to pull her hair off, not just chop it off.I loved the story line with Bette and Tina, and i'm glad to see them back together again.Shane wished she had Carmen come back into her life, but instead went crazy for Jenny.Alice should not have shared her idea with Jenny, already knowing how caniving and devious Jenny is. But there is, and always will be a character you will have to base who is the good guy, and who is the bad guy in order to know the difference between the two. Tasha is excellent.I don't know what's running through Max's head.Helena, i despise that she wanted to return to Danny's girlfriend. Boo on that part.Overall story line, honestly with the time that was permitted, the budget they were limited, was very excellent, only because they had intended to have a spin-off. Which i do hope the spinoff makes it to television, and not just online.The L word was and is, always going to be a monumental historical epic for lesbians and bisexuals and transexuals in televison entertainment. I heart the L word!!!

I couldn't wait, life is too short.
From 2002, when I watched for the first time The L Word here in Italy I've become a faithful fan of the lives of Tina, Bette, Jenny and all the others great characters of this series. For 4 seasons, Italian TV followed the show almost simultaneously with their broadcasting in USA and the rest of the world. Then, abruptly it stopped and still today we don't know when or if seasons 5 and 6 will ever be put on the air. But I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen in the two final seasons, so I ordered season 5 from Amazon.co.uk. Great season, even better than the previous ones. But then I discovered that season 6 wouldn't have been available in England before next July, so I decided to take the risk and ordering it in USA, although the regions for DVD system are different. You know, I couldn't wait, life is too short! As soon as I've received the package, I checked if my DVD recorder was able to read it. It was! So now I'm going to watch the whole season in the next weeks, to put even if a little sadly the E word (End) on this magnificent saga. Thanks Amazon!

CAN BELIEVE IT'S OVER!
Many people have given poor ratings for the 6th season, and for The L Word in general. I must refer to one of my earlier reviews about The L Word series. Any internationally shown TV series involving lesbians is a fantastic feat. If you are over 40, then you will know what I'm talking about. The more coverage the LGBTQO communities get the better all around. Lighten up folks, and go with the flow. Time moves very slowly ('80's) at times. At other times, it moves VERY QUICKLY ('70's). Think of it in this simplistic way: 3 steps forward, 1 step backward!!!THE L WORD,

The L Word-Great series
The entire 6 seasons was a great show. The writing, the actors, the directing were all done to perfection. The main thing was, as a straight person, to learn that the Gay community is no different than any other except in who they love. And who is to say who we may or may not fall in love with in our lifetime? I only wish another series coud be brought back showing how these characters have grown and where they are today. Which just proves how true these story lines were when you begin to believe they were actually real.

The women are so beautiful, but that is not the way the women ...
I think this was a very well written movie and took be back to my younger years as a lesbian. The women are so beautiful, but that is not the way the women were in my world. If you had shown women as they are in real life it would not have been so sucessful. I once saw a movie that really showed my life and it was called BAR GIRLS. Make more movies for us.

Bravo
I truly enjoyed The L Word. I laughed, I cried, I got emotionally involved in the lives of my favorite characters. A well written series with delightful characters that blended together to make you wish it had several more episodes and seasons. The supporting characters, Cybil Sheppard, Jane Lynch and Holland Taylor were an excellent addition that helped to make the series so magnificent.

Great!
I had already purchased the entire L Word set, but had to purchase the last season again because the last disk of the last set was super defective. This set, as far as I can see has all playable disks. I was happy to finally see all of the last show. I loved the show and wish it hadn't ended.

Sorry To See You Go
I loved The L Word from day one; great characters, great arcs, great story lines and lots of spice.Each character had a uniqueness about them. Especially the two I mention here: Alice was a complete delight (Leisha's craft in delivery was flawless). Jenny's character was indeed complex. You just loved hating her at certain points. But I did hate to see her go.What I did find lacking was a bit more realism in body types. I, as an overweight lesbian, loved seeing the beauty in these women but the lack of people with weight issues should have been addressed.I disagreed with the writers regarding Dana's demise. She should have represented hope and the love for life. We know people die from breast cancer and the devastation that surrounds it but I believe it would have been a better story line showing Dana rising above and having a positive attitude toward the disease and the lessons learned and what she possibly could do to help others. I write this from witnessing this disease through my life partner.And then a side bar to that, since Dana did die, and having her reappear before Alice, that should have gone on periodically through the remaining seasons. Especially, in the very last episode when everyone was saying their good-byes...her ghost-like appearance could have shown up.All in all I will miss my fix of The L Word.
