    I am very disappointed totally not what I expected after waiting for this show for 10 years. 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.

    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 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 makingThe 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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    Identity politics are the newest member of the cast, and a most unwelcome one.

    Generation Q is still finding its groove, but with its understated respect for a multitude of queer aesthetic presentations, the reboot is a welcome addition to a still-slim LGBTQ canon.
