Movie Reviews of The L Word - The Complete Fourth Season
Movie Review: Worth the Wait!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a UK viewer of this hot potato made it extremely frustrating to find out that Living TV ran this season wihout any warning at all so I missed it but all hope was not lost and Amazon came to my rescue!
I'm on Disc three of the 5 Disc boxset and ladies it doesn't dissapoint. This programme just seems to get better and better with each season.
The new additions to the cast, JANINA GAVANKAR / EVA 'PAPI' TORRES, set to give Shane a run for her money as the new lethario in town turning even the straightest of heads!,
MARLEE MATLIN / JODI LERNER, Bette's new love interest is making her own mark on our beloved Artist with some heart wrenching storylines.
ROSE ROLLINS / TASHA, This mean and moody character I think will come into her own next season but I applaud the writers for introducing a character like Tash that deals with our girls in the Armed forces.
CYBILL SHEPHERD / PHYLLIS KROLL, I was a little skeptical when I heard she was joing the cast this year but her character really works and is very entertaining, it also deals with coming out in the later years, which is good for us older lasses!
This Seasson sees many changes to the characters we already know and love.
Look out for the sexy DANIELA SEA / MAX SWEENEY storyline. I wasn't sure about Max last year and was finding it hard to connect with him but this season has seen me doing a complete Uturn and looking forward to seeing how this character will develop further.
KATHERINE MOENNIG/ SHANE has not had the best of luck of late and we do feel sorry for her even though she's brought a lot on herself but this season we see a new side of Shane with a storyline that rips your heart out and stamps all over it..
MIA KIRSHNER / JENNY SCHECTER - possibly the most ambiguous character on set, one minute you love her next minute you hate her..this season is no different but is Jenny about to get a taste of her own medicine?
LEISHA HAILEY / ALICE PIESZECKI - Lovable rogue Alice who seems to plod from one disastrous relationship to another gets an unlikley love interest this season that is set to question everything she believes in and we like where it's going.
RACHEL SHELLEY / HELENA PEABODY -I like what they've done with her character this time around and if you hated her last season you'll love her this year!
LAUREL HOLLOMAN / TINA KENNARD - Season 4 leads us to where we knew it always would, the question on everyones lips is will they get back together or won't they?
PAM GRIER / KIT PORTER - The Kitty cat is taking a walk on the wild side with some shocking revelations and descent into madness.
and finally..
the delectable JENNIFER BEALS / BETTE PORTER - This stubborn pig headed control freak is having as equally confusing time as Shane this season, from flirtations students to ex partners and deaf lovers Bette's getting them all this year!
Season 4 of the L Word is explosive, heartwarming, knee trembling sensationalism and I can't wait to see the rest of the boxset!
Fantastic whether you be straight or a little bit twisted ;)
Summary of The L Word - The Complete Fourth Season
THE L WORD Season 4 picks up with the women wrestling with issues close to their hearts. As with previous seasons, old demons rear their ugly heads and a host of new characters are brought into their fold, offering them access to a broader community with diverse issues. THE L WORD® stars Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Dallas Roberts, Daniela Sea, Rachel Shelley, and Pam Grier. Newest additions to the cast include Cybill Shepherd, Marlee Matlin, Janina Gavankar and Rose Rollins. Special guest stars are Rosanna Arquette, Eric Roberts, Bruce Davison, Kristanna Loken and Jane Lynch. This season, the war in Iraq becomes an integral part of Alice's (Hailey) life as she struggles to move on after the death of Dana; Helena (Shelley) tries to find financial independence and come to terms with leaving behind a world of privilege; Phyllis Kroll (Shepherd) -- who takes the courageous plunge late in life to come out of the closet -- risking everything that has defined her life up to now; and, Bette (Beals) has to deal with Jodi Lerner (Matlin), a woman who confronts her head-on about her Type-A personality.If the third season was marked by transitions, The L Word's fourth concerns growing up--or trying to, at any rate. Shane (Katherine Moennig) becomes her brother Shay's guardian, Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman) stop fighting over their daughter Angelica, and Bette's new boss, Phyllis (a very game Cybill Shepherd), decides it's time to embrace her true nature. So, after 25 years of marriage (Bruce Davison plays her husband), Chancellor Kroll comes out of the closet--and sets her sights on Alice (Leisha Hailey). For all the inclusiveness, Max (Daniela Sea), still remains on the margins. Dumped by Jenny (Mia Kirshner) the year before, Max continues to share her apartment while acclimating to life as a man.
For those who felt season three was too dark, four offers a welcome corrective. There's still plenty of angst--Jenny's memoir meets with a few negative notices (Heather Matarazzo's journalist pens the harshest critique) and Helena (Rachel Shelley) learns to live without Mommy's money--but there are plenty of moving moments to compensate (most revolving around Shane and Shay). New additions also arrive to shake things up, like Marlee Matlin as an artist who helps Bette to broaden her horizons, Kristanna Loken as a single mother with a yen for Shane, and Rose Rollins as an Iraq War veteran with whom Alice has a tryst (leading to a well intentioned, if heavy-handed message about how even liberals should support the troops). As in seasons past, the directorial line-up impresses as much as the acting talent, and includes Oscar winner Marleen Gorris (Antonia's Line) and playwright Moisés Kaufman (The Laramie Project). Since creator Ilene Chaiken makes most special features, like deleted scenes, available online, this set offers few extras, other than biographies, a photo gallery, and episodes of The Tudors and Californication. --Kathleen C.
