Critics Consensus

Though at times Generation Q doesn't quite stand on its own, it has style and charm to spare and announces a new phase for The L Word that will please new and old fans alike.

The show chose the more dramatic route at the expense of responsible storytelling... just once, I'd like to see a queer character onscreen who has struggled with addiction but has done the work to be well.

The L Word has always been a little bit naff, but in this new iteration, that naffness feels like a matter of pride.

It's all as sleek, soapy and slightly ridiculous as before.

Its first season was far from perfect, but with a much more diverse cast and some real trans storylines, there is clear potential in the future.

Lots of lingering, pouty glances and string sections that swell to life at the slightest sign of tears, this is top-notch melodrama.

Fantastic! We need more shows like this!!

Disappointed. This new show is deeply different from the L word. I was looking for this precious ambiance of doubts and dreams. The Q Generation is brutal and boring, at the exact opposite of it. The new characters are tasteless and annoying. And why do we have to endure all these scenes in companies ? I don't get it.

02/19/2020

I was excited of this show's returning but tuned out quickly. Most of the old characters have received such good fortune and blessed lives, a mayor, talk show host, pr, and famous hair stylist, that its realism just fails for me. I would rather see them struggle for that success and even fail along the way. That would have been a better show.

02/01/2020

Loved the show. Loved seeing all the Original players. I wasnt a big fan of the season finale though. Felt more like part of the build up to the finale as opposed to being the finale itself,
