Movie Reviews of The L Word: Final Season
Movie Review: Spoiler alert ... or just a spoiler itself?
Summary: 2 Stars
I am still digesting the finale, which I watched two days ago with a big group of friends and many other people around the world. I think I heard screams of unfulfillment across the land when the credits started rolling after its "Soprano's like" ending. All I can ask is...why? Why would they end it like that? Not only do I think they should have told us who killed Jenny, but dang it, I wanted to see Jenny confronted about many things she had done up to that point. She had this crusade about "everybody needs to be truthful", therefore ruining their lives... but it came crashing down with Shane finding the letter and movie reels. ugh. I am just very ticked off and therefore cannot give a decent rating to this SHORT as it was final season. Very disappointing.
Since that night, I've been all over the internet in search of who killed jenny. Showtime is currently showing "Interrogation Tapes" that supposedly give more insight to the killing. Through imdb.com and E! Online, I've learned that Alice has a spin off called The Farm, where it says she gets convicted of Jenny's murder and sent off to prison. E! mentioned rumor of a movie to finish things off. Now this is all fine and dandy, but just boils me more that I want to know NOW... and the show, being the first of its kind...just should have been a better show in its final season.
Movie Review: Disappointing!
Summary: 2 Stars
My girlfriend and I were both disappointed with this final season. First off, the season only consisted of 8 episodes, so if you're smart you'll buy it cheap because it is not worth the $45 they're charging at Target or Best Buy! This is what began my experience with season 6...I open the box and realize that they only shot half the number of episodes than what a normal season contains.
The second aspect of season 6 that was disappointing is that the entire season revolved around Jenny. I think the consesus is out, Jenny is nothing but frustrating...so I don't know why the entire final season revolves around Jenny.
All in all, this final season is a disappointing, unresolved mystery about who killed Jenny. I don't recommend it, but if you're into the series until the end like we were, then my one line of advice is find somewhere that sells it cheap!

Summary: 1 Stars
I am highly disappointed in The L Word Final Season. I watched originally on Showtime with great expectation especially for the last episode. I don't know what happened to the show. The truth is, it was never the same since the creators decided to cut Dana out, after that they barely hung on - but the show was still entertaining. The Final Season however was just plain bad.
First, I don't care if you have gender dysphoria - just because you take hormones does not mean you automatically turn into the opposite sex, and therefore your sex organs no longer work according to their original settings. Max's whole "Oh I didn't think I could get pregnant" was an insult to people facing this issue, as well as an insult to a character who supposedly is intelligent enough to create complex IT programs, but apparently didn't get 4th grade biology. Girls and boys, penis and vagina equals baby, even if the penis is gay and the vagina is confused. So...girls and boys, put a rubber on it and move on. Having Max become pregnant was just plain cheesy, especially since the plot was created only shortly after the idiocy of the "pregnant man" story. Good job creators, you took a break through character, and screwed it up.
Second, yes Jenny needed to die - but was it necessary to make ME want to be the killer? The character was already annoying to began with, and the majority of The Final Season was basically "The Jenny Show" and "How will Jenny make me want to kill her today?? hmmm." Tedious.
Third...Shane should have grown up. Brian Kinney of Queer as Folk was a much better written character than Shane, and even he grew up in the end. I personally did not see any growth in any of the characters apart from Helena.
Finally...how dare you not re-introduce the entire cast when they say goodbye? I didn't see Carmen, Marina, or Dana in the final "good bye shots." Carmen and Marina showed up in a tape made by Jenny, which begs the question...why didn't Marina just come back and take Jenny? That would have been a better rap up of the show.
Overall, I personally hated this season. The best (and it's a stretch) that can be said for this season, is the last episode where Tina and Bette are sitting at the porch, and we see Shane walking back home supposedly from another night (just as in the very first episode). It was bittersweet, and a good reminder of just how good The L Word ONCE was.
Movie Review: Really bad...season 6 was worse than season 5.
Summary: 1 Stars
Just recently purchased season 5 and 6. WTF happened? Seriously...where did the good show go? After season 4 this series just turned to total crap. Sorry to put it that way, but in my opinion the writers blew it. Season 5's pacing was all off, characters were disjointed and seemed lost. Plus what is with this single white female thing? Come on...you actually pulled a Jenny Schecter on your own show and couldn't come up with anything original?
Than we get to season 6 and it didn't get better, it got worse. You had only 8 episodes to fix the mess that was season 5 and instead of giving us a decent original ending you went for the old "Who Shot J.R." paradigm? Seriously? Plus, as many others have all ready said, you had the characters all over the place doing uncharacteristic things which took this show to a whole new low.
Sorry to say this as well, but, the last two seasons was a total disgrace and dishonor to the GLBT community. You managed to make it seem like we're all crazy, driven by sex, untrustworthy, and incapable of making commitments. Just horrible writing, and unoriginal drivel, and the finale...total garbage. My cat can puke up hairballs with more originality than the stuff you gave us.
I sat and watched the season 5 and season 6 episodes with my girlfriend and was telling her what would happen long before they would happen. Why was I able to do this? Because it was that unoriginal, we'd seen these stories before in other shows!
After season 4 I think the writers and producer were only in it for the money and could careless what they did with the show, the characters, and the story. If anyone else is planning on getting this series I would highly recommend only getting the first 4 season and do not even bother watching season 5 or 6. Season 5 and 6 and just pure garbage and a money grab.
