Customer Reviews: Read 93 more reviews... A Challenging Season November 11, 2008U.S. Book Reviewer I love watching this show on DVD. However, I agree with the other reviewers that season 3 took some wrong directions. Seasons 1 and 2 focused on character introduction and development. In the third season several unlikeable characters are introduced and the personalities of existing players became unlikeable. The one exception is Bette Porter, whose emotionality was slightly constrained this season. The death of a major character in episode 10 was probably necessary to maintain high interest in the show. I too wondered if the actress wanted out of her contract to pursue another opportunity, or if this was strictly a writer's decision to kill off the character. Think about that point as you watch this season, and research her real life, if you are wondering about why she is gone. All things considered, the death scene was well done. An unusual change concerns the beginning of each episode. As the season begins each episode has a flashback scene to the 70's and 80's, showing historical moments in alternate sexuality. Then strangely about midway through the series these flashbacks are replaced with much newer and often irrelevant flashbacks from modern day. It seemed as if the writers had run out of ideas, so the producer inserted scenes from recently shot footage which had no other use. This is yet another of the problems you will have to live with as you view season 3. Should these shortcomings stop your viewing of the series? No. Continue on to season 4. Also, keep in mind that season 6, the final season, begins in January 2009. Sooner or later all good things must come to an end.  L Word 3rd season September 5, 2008G. Hammack (Warner Robins, GA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful It arrived within two weeks of being ordered. The package was sealed and in perfect shape, just like if i would have gotten it from the store. The only difference between my actual purchase and going to the store was the amount paid, a lot less through Amazon. In Defense Of Jenny and Gravity. July 1, 2008M. R. Reagan (New England) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful It is interesting, or worrisome, how many people comment about their preception of Jenny's "stupidity" or how "borning" the character is. I find the character's succintness soooo satisfying. She consistently nails people in rather few well-chosen words. She sees who the people around her are and tells them "like it is". During the early first season I found the Jenny character cloying and really annoying. But as I watched her evolve throughout the three seasons I found I really respect her as a woman who says what she means and means what she says. She's real and true to herself and her hard-won truths. Instead of zipping by the Jenny parts of the various episodes, I wish some of you would really hear what she has to say. Maybe you would see her for who and what she is and where she's been. How many of us truly meet and grapple with our demons and come out of the struggle with our hearts and minds not only intact but also with our wits honed to such a fine edge? Season Three finds Jenny as well as all the other characters more deeply immersed in their "s**t" than ever before. I think this season depicts the pain and strength of Jenny, Dana, Alice, Billie, Bette, Helena, et al. and their ability to deal with the unfairness and complexity of life. Some may find this boring. I find it moving, involving, uplifting and wonderful. How sad some reviewers see Jenny's scenes as an ocassion to "fast forward to the sexy parts". Is that all your lives are about? love it ... May 12, 2008J. Solano (NJ, USA) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful i love the L-word and there is nothing else to say, if you watch it you get hooked. have fun ! packaging was fine, no problems with delivery. what happened to this show??? April 22, 2008Lilly Hryczyk 1 out of 2 found this review helpful Killing off the best character and then replacing her with several new ones who not only aren't interesting, they are sometimes actually painful (or painfully boring) to watch onscreen? I loved this show until the 3rd season came out. If I was a less patient person I would have given up after this point. Thankfully, the show starts redeeming itself in season 4. | |||||||||||
