The L Word - The Complete Fourth Season

After the disappointment of season 3, I was so pleased to see the show pick up in season 4 as the characters deepened, the plot thickened, the cast broadened, and significant LGBT issues came to the forefront. I highly recommend it. And if you can only buy one season of L Word, #4 is a must!

I loved to watch Season 1-3 and so I was a little disappointed of what happened - or rather not happened - in Season 4.
Before I even noticed, I watched the last show and it was over.

The good:
I especially liked that Shane is taking care of her brother. And that Bette and Tina get along better is very nice to see.
What I really liked was the story around Tasha, the military girl. The conflict she is in shows how stupid the war is and what it does to people.

The bad:
What's up with Jenny and why are they still talking to her? She is putting out everyone's life in The New Yorker and even makes it into a book with the worst phantasy in names.
Why is Tina, being back to the heterosexual crowd suddenly an outcast?
The story around Helena is so ridiculous, I was tempted to forward...

All in all I am looking forward to Season 5.

I am enjoying the antics of all the "girls" this season. I could do without the angst of the denouncement of the war in Iraq. Please entertain me, do not play politics.

Season 4 is so much better than Season 3! The characters are more interesting and it's not as depressing. I still wish they would've brought Carmen back, but Papi is a great addition as is Tasha. I hope they both come back in the 5th Season. Marlee Maitlin is very good in her role, but I have a little trouble with Cybil Shephard playing a late blooming lesbian. Somehow, I just can't buy into it. Now, if we could only get rid of Jenny.....

This is the best season since season 1. In fact it may be better than season 1. The writers really stepped it up this season!
