Season 1 Review:
The L Word has always been a little bit naff, but in this new iteration, that naffness feels like a matter of pride. ... There is a great relief in sitting back and watching something that is unabashedly entertaining, that plays to the crowd exactly as it knows how to. It is all a lot of fun, from the boo-hiss villains to the spot-the-reference nods to the past.

Season 1 Review:
A glossy, bighearted show that’s less soapy than the original series but delivers enough secrets, sex, and secret sex to keep the stakes high. ... Because there’s no central hangout (RIP The Planet) and the two groups of peers mostly overlap in the workplace, Generation Q lacks the intimacy of The L Word, which owed much of its magic to intraclique chemistry and conflict. The new series feels like a collection of individual stories about generally likable people.

Season 2 Review:
Season 2 sticks to its usual formula. That’s not a terrible thing: This show’s cultural significance cannot be understated, and it offers comfort food to an entire underrepresented community. But it’s not a net positive, either, as these characters continue to spin their wheels, offering plenty in the way of histrionics with consistently scant development.

Season 1 Review:
None of these women feel real, down-to-Earth or approachable. On the contrary, the “Generation Q” crew seems mostly there to give the O.G.s an excuse to set up shop again. Much of the time “The L Word: Generation Q” feels like two glee-deficient series slapped into the same pair of pants, but sadly, left me with little desire to revisit “The L Word” or invite “Generation Q” over for a hang.

It is like coming home after a long time and see old frinds. I just love it and the mix of new and old.
