The L Word: Generation Q

I watched the original series and I did enjoy it, but I always felt it was a little bit overrated. I do feel Gen Q is generally more surface level than the original. The plots are predictable and the show in general is a little underwhelming. I hate to say this, but I find the actress that plays Finley to be borderline unwatchable. Her acting has the subtlety of a hammer. That being said, I think most the acting in the series is heavy handed, so fault could lie with the director.

Overall it's watchable, although sometimes it doesn't really hold my attention. But it's fine if you've run out of stuff to watch.

I just finished season 2 episode 1. It was SO BORING I want to go and get drunk and die in the road. I usually see where the idea is and where it could go but this was so stupid and slow I don't know why it was even written down, let alone supposedly story boarded, scheduled and shot. How about all the characters die in an explosion except like 4 of them and it's a post apocalyptic world... oh wait that would be too interesting. There is no chemistry, no reason, no substance. It is like they wrote down a list of all The L Word original was about, deleted all the interesting things, then left a line "lesbians" and then wrote "the stuff you regret spending your time with" like it was meant to be a big joke but some idiot in the room thought it was a great plan. PULL THIS SHOW OFF THE AIR and put anything else in its place. Give me the money and I'll give you interesting characters and storylines!

Amazing! It can only get better... Feels a little daunting at first, whilst getting to know the new characters and a new plot. Then the original ladies come back with more grit than ever and make you feel at home again. Credit due for doing something new and for pushing boundaries - to make this a safer world for everyone to be themselves!

I was a fan of the original show. This new show was disappointing, to say the least. It just doesn't work. Too much emphasis on the implausible running for mayor thing, some of the acting was terrible, and Finley is just annoying. And they are all rich, except for Finley. It just ring true to any of my life experience. And Bette was never one of my favorite characters, anyway.

Shane is, of course, still hot.

And why are all of them wearing too much makeup?

And where's the fun? And why is Leisha Hailey so skinny? She was so cute!

In all, it was a disjointed, boring-in-spots effort.

This ended as though a second season is coming, but I doubt I'll watch it, unless I'm desperate.

I love that we get a new portion of L word. Overall very presently surprised over how good it is, but still a lot, of room for improvement.
