Jun 28, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… David Bianculli New York Daily News Top Critic It's exciting for lesbian relationships to have such a frank forum. Jun 28, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media Despite glaring assaults on plausibility... the show strikes universal chords. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Carina Chocano Baltimore Sun The quality of the writing and acting relegate the sex scenes, hot as they may be, to supporting-role status. Jun 29, 2018 | Full Review… Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle Top Critic The real L word of the show is not lesbianism but loyalty, the fellowship that binds and softens a group of what on the surface appear to be prickly, overly indulged middle-class women. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Alessandra Stanley New York Times Top Critic The L Word may not go down in history books as the Greatest TV Show Ever Written, but it will indeed receive its own chapter under the heading Social Drama of Great Import That Includes Hot Chicks Kissing. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Caryn Brooks New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic The show - trashy, outdated and in many ways problematic - got many things right. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Yas Necati Independent (UK) Top Critic The show is welcoming to outsiders, and can be enjoyed by most women, gay or straight, especially those who like breakbeat, lounge jazz and sad folk songs. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Sophie Wilkinson Guardian Top Critic Unless you count... Barb Wire as a vehicle for encoded lesbian empowerment, Chaiken is doing something new in offering as wide a variety of gay women as her assiduously upscale setting will allow. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Top Critic A tepid, talky drama populated by thinly drawn characters, predictable situations and a central group of some half-dozen sleek women who seem cast for crossover appeal rather than strict sociological representation. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (12) Audience Reviews for The L Word: Season 1 There are no featured audience reviews yet.
