The finale was every bit as awful as the entire season, and there's no way to cover the whole, ugly mess. Go to Full Review Hillary Frey Observer 03/20/2019
The L Word, however, is regressing into a petulant adolescence. Go to Full Review Hanna Hanra Guardian 03/20/2019
Jenny Schecter, a character so annoying she eventually - via a spectacularly awful, shark-jumping dream sequence - became the undoing of the whole show. Go to Full Review Marisa Carroll PopMatters 04/01/2020
6/10
Although The L Word's writing over the years has been uneven at best, outlandish at worst, the series should be commended for raising tricky questions about race, gender, and orientation. Go to Full Review Tamara Gorzalka Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) 03/21/2019

Autumn T @RT28982627 07/18/2024 The differences between 1 and 6 are drastic and well numbered. I think the U.S. should take some notes from the U.K. and learn to let certain series die naturally. See more 06/24/2021 The l word is amazing web series. I like it। See more 02/11/2021 Fantastic. We need more shows like this please See more 07/29/2019 Giving three stars for one simple reason, the nostalgia. The L word is undeniably a staple in the Lesbian/Bi culture. That being said, season 6 is a poor reflection of a massive movement in television. It plot was allowed to run away with grand intentions, but poor execution. Jenny was not only a thorn in the side of every character on the show, but the show as a whole. If there was ever a prime example of how to make an unlikable character go too far and lose its purpose, Jenny would be just that example. See more Read all reviews
