i first learned about this tv show last January. i accidentally bought a dvd of the show, i was just browsing through a lot of dvds and came upon this disc. as i read the summary at the back cover of the disc i got kinda curious because its about women, lesbian women. as i started watching the show i got hooked on it, i was mesmerized by the depth of the story. its not your typical, sad,tragic lesbian shows. and in fact it is the first and only lesbian tv show that was given a slot on primetime tv in the states. the show was a phenomenon in the US and it is up to now the most watched tv show in the US. the concept of the show is that, there 's a group of lesbian women who are close friends with each other, they are living in Hollywood California, this group of women is so unique and diverse in their characters that each one of them has been given a good script and a good storyline . the show is focused on the lives, the love, the friendship, the struggles of these women.


i thank the creator Ilene Chaiken for making this masterpiece, it is a show where gays and lesbians are not discriminated, they are given equal opportunities like straight people. this show now has a devoted fanbase in the states and it is starting to be heard around the world, in Europe and Asia. in fact, it is being shown in our own cable tv here in the Philippines, it is on velvet channel, every thursday night at 9.30.

i dare each of you to try to watch the show, or buy a dvd copy of the show. by the way, the show is in production of and filming (as of press time) its final season. its home network or mother network in the states, SHOWTIME decided to extend the show for one more season (season 6). mind you, all the shows of this network did not reach season 6, but the network producers had decided to extend the L word because of the impact it created and the voice it gave to gays and lesbians (well, lesbians in particular), who finally found themselves being given the rights that they deserve. now that there is a new law in California that already allows gay and lesbian marriages, its a very big step. it only shows that people are more open minded, more accepting and liberated.


for me, i will continue to watch the show until its last episode. season 6 of the L word will be shown January 2009 in the states and i will surely wait for the original dvd copy of it or if not i will download it in mininova.:) i just hope velvet channel will continue to air the show. the L word rulezzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
