Movie Reviews of The L Word - The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: L Word 3rd Season DVD's
Summary: 5 Stars
Fast shipping. Arrived in excellent condition. Another great purchase on Amazon!Movie Review: Good season but could have been better
Summary: 4 Stars
I became hooked on L Word from watching season 4 on Showtime. So I ordered seasons 1 and 2 and finally season 3. I agree with several other posters who say that key characters' personalities seem to have done 180's. Bette turns into a marshmallow; Tina suddenly "needs a man;" level-headed Alice becomes a pill-popping stalker; and Helena the conniver becomes Helena the connived.
Unlike some others, though, I find the Moira/Max (Daniela Sea) storyline interesting and thought-provoking. The scenes in which Dylan falls for Helena were oh-so-sexy (and I'm straight!); but the video set-up for the sexual harrassment suit was stupid and it was clear to the viewer what would happen next. I could have done without the Billie character. Angus and Kit had some cute moments, but the whole menopause storyline could have been far more interesting and real without Angus.
And why kill off Dana? She was, by far, the most entertaining character on the show--coordinated but goofy, smart but out of it. I can only assume that Erin wanted out of the show for some reason.
Now for the DVD's themselves: what's up with the sad extras? One of my favorite things about the season 2 DVD's was the commentary by Leisha, Kate, and Erin for the "Land Ahoy" episode. It was hysterical. When I opened up season 3 and realized there was no commentary on any of the episodes by anyone, I felt really cheated. Please, please, please, Showtime, when you put out the season 4 DVD's, put commentary by cast members on at least four episodes. Take a leaf out of NCIS' (or CSI's) book!
Movie Review: Best Season Yet
Summary: 4 Stars
I breathe a huge sigh of relief as the writers have finally seemed to hit their stride! The writing in this season is the best so far.
The storyline keeps moving and changing in a way that creates a very unique journey among this group of friends. Once again, commendations for taking on very real topics, including trans identity, menopause, joint parenting, and cancer.
The acting shines on almost everyones part. My new favorite character, "Angus the Manny" is probably the worst actor, but he's so likeable, it's okay.
As others have said, unfortuately the Betty music is still around, but it is _much_ less prevalent and distracting. The rest of the music is actually pretty decent.
Another negative point is that not only are old dropped story lines not picked up, but the habit of dropping stories w/o explaination continues. Also, no amazing guest stars ala Cameron Manhiem or Sandra Bernhardt from Season 2.
Packaging: They finally got wise and used slim-case design, which is great b/c it doesn't waste space, but now it doesn't match the other 2 seasons. There are some great special features, but there are at least two major spoilers right on the package, so don't look at it too closely as you're putting the discs in.
Still a solid 4-star show - can't wait for season 4. Maybe I can finally give it 5 stars...
Movie Review: Too long to Wait
Summary: 5 Stars
At last the third series is available. Unfortunately unless you have a multi region DVD -player in the UK you have to wait forever for it to be released in Region 2 format. The third series was certainly not the best however the whole concept of the L Word is entertaining for people of all sexual orientation. Long may it continueMovie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good boxed set dvd. Just as great as the other two seasons.
