The L Word: Final Season Cusomter reviews:
Average Rating: 3.5 Total Reviews: 19
(Joan M. Mckeown, 2009-10-07) The whole of season 6 was a disa[ppointment due to Network limiting episodes and time. Trying to do too much in too little time. Jennifer Beals shines as usul.
(Di Marco Concetta, 2009-10-04) Perhaps it's the worst-written season of the series, but I love the cast! Jennifer Beals is great... and I'm a big fan of Lucy Lawless!
(Mary Raine, 2009-08-26) Came into this series late in the game, after the series had ended. Couldn't stop watching it on Netflix and paid for Season 6 here. I have never been hooked on a series but this one [...] me in and when I reached the end of the final episode I felt that my best friend had dropped into a black hole. Well, not really, but what acting what direction and I don't care who killed Jenny. Life and this series aren't always neat. I'm really going to miss Shane's character. Complex. Aren't we all? What's with these whiners who are giving the show a bad rating just because they don't know who killed Jenny. The point was everyone wanted her dead and in that tightly knit group it didn't matter who did the deed. Maybe that was the point.
(U.S. Book Reviewer, 2009-08-25) Season 6 has its ups and downs. One nice revelation: you will find out who actually stole the Les Girls film after the accusations you watched in an earlier season. Overall, this latest season does not have as many bad episodes as in some earlier seasons. Thankfully, there are not too many more scenes with Bette and Jody, something that dragged on for much too long. However, Jennie-as-movie-script-writer is a dominant story line again, so be prepared if you have not had enough of it already. Looking back over the entire series, the producer made many mistakes with the The L Word. This ultimately led to its premature cancellation. Her biggest mistake occurs in season 6 with the unsolved murder of a major character. Given the short number of episodes in this season, the viewer is left wondering whether the producer intended the ending to be left a mystery or if the show simply ran out of of time and funding. There are a few short plotlines that never get fully developed. This leaves the viewer feeling unsatisfied. Nevertheless, these shortcomings should not prevent you from buying this last season. After watching the final episode titled, "Last Word", I felt sad that this show has ended. Despite all of its obvious shortcomings The L Word gave me some of the best entertainment I have ever had from a TV series. I still cannot believe that it is really over. I feel as if I have lost a group of good friends whom I will never see again.
(bunnyrabbit4, 2009-08-22) I wonder if the writers of this season, knowing that they needed new jobs, took on other tasks to which they directed the majority of their creativity and talent? They certainly didn't put much into finishing what they had started so well, but then the slide didn't start with the last season. The 5th season had moved increasingly toward more sex and less plot. When that had gone as far as it could, it bombed out completely with the unsolved murder mystery of season 6. I think the decline started as far back as season four. After the success of the first three seasons, they increasingly replaced character exploration with plot dependant vignettes. Characters served the plot no matter how that violated who you thought they were. Events became unpredictable and seemed to exist simply for their shock value. To me, really good writing explores subtle emotions and employs enough foreshadowing to keep the audience thinking. I don't mind being shocked on occasion, but when it happens too often and is accompanied by a bundle of short plotlines, distraction replaces enjoyment. L Word peppered its content with many topics, gender change, promiscuity, breast cancer, military regulations, older women coming out, infidelity and alcoholism. The series covered a lot of serious issues, but often, especially toward the end, placed too many competing issues in one show. Over the last three seasons and especially the last two, I found that the plotlines had fallen to the level of quick, unsatisfying vignettes. In the end what I remember from L Word are caricatures rather than characters and a lot of busy plots. Is it any wonder that its swan song, season six, was a silly murder mystery peppered with flashbacks and completely lacking in substance?
