    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.

The new characters are just so cringe and even the OG cast is acting different . Bette is back with the cheating storyline again so boring and bad representation of lesbians. It shows that lesbians can’t be in a long and happy relationship and that’s a bad message that they are sending to homophobes. Full Review »

    The L Word: Generation Q is the one and only revival I’ve watched that kept the original core and made a cohesive story addition. The oldThe L Word: Generation Q is the one and only revival I’ve watched that kept the original core and made a cohesive story addition. The old characters, that we know and love, are older and wiser, but not that much because everyone messes up even when you’re older and some of your faults are the same, but you’re still wiser. Bette, Alice and Shane are way more mature, but still making mistakes. And they seem old, and yes they are, because they are the same people.
    The new characters are vivid and they all have something else to tell, all of them have some secret, some serious internal developing to make. And they all have some twist of problems that we live and talk about today! I love it. Thank god they already announced a seasons 2.
