DVD REVIEW: THE L WORD SEASON TWO

Michael Bitalvo from Elites TV site begins his The L word Season Two DVD review with,

"The L Word is one of the most original and fascinating shows on television. It takes a serious look at the lesbian lifestyle and successfully portrays characters as honest, intelligent people. If you are thinking lesbians are nothing more than the stereotypes society has created, one episode of this show will change your thinking for the better. Whether characters are gay or straight does not determine the strength of a show. It always comes down to good writing, honest acting, and captivating the audience. The second season of The L Word (available October 25th, Showtime Entertainment) achieves the honest acting, and does captivate at times, but the writing seems to be hit or miss depending upon the episode."

But we at L-word.com are thrilled to see is his comments on DVD bonus features, where L-word.com Fan Site members contribute to the "Fan Mail" section:

"The bonus features on this set are a mixed bag. It seems like a great deal is included, but when you sit down to watch them, you can’t help but left to feel disappointed. Most of the features are light and fluffy. The only serious feature is L Word Fan Mail, which is a collection of letters from actual viewers on how the show has changed their lives. These letters are touching and powerful. They show the impact a television show can have. One of the more entertaining of the batch is L Word Balderdash, in which cast members are asked for definitions of various words that begin with the letter L. Another fun segment is Playing with the Girls: L Word Shorts. One word answers are provided by the cast regarding their first kiss, what type of fancy drink they would be, and what they wanted to be growing up. L Word Girls on the Record is a painfully short feature, which could have been something special if the topics discussed were given the proper amount of time. The stock Cast Biographies section is also included for the major cast members."
