THE L WORD Season 4 picks up with the women wrestling with issues close to their hearts. As with previous seasons, old demons rear their ugly heads and a host of new characters are brought into their fold, offering them access to a broader community with diverse issues. THE L WORD® stars Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Dallas Roberts, Daniela Sea, Rachel Shelley, and Pam Grier. Newest additions to the cast include Cybill Shepherd, Marlee Matlin, Janina Gavankar and Rose Rollins. Special guest stars are Rosanna Arquette, Eric Roberts, Bruce Davison, Kristanna Loken and Jane Lynch. This season, the war in Iraq becomes an integral part of Alice's (Hailey) life as she struggles to move on after the death of Dana; Helena (Shelley) tries to find financial independence and come to terms with leaving behind a world of privilege; Phyllis Kroll (Shepherd) -- who takes the courageous plunge late in life to come out of the closet -- risking everything that has defined her life up to now; and, Bette (Beals) has to deal with Jodi Lerner (Matlin), a woman who confronts her head-on about her Type-A personality.

Summary: Better writing, better stories
Comment: In season four, this series really starts to click. The stories are more substantive, the writing is better, even Jenny is (slightly) less annoying. I really liked and miss Dana, but new characters and the growth of Max and Helena really make up for losing her. The best addition is Marlee Maitlan as Jody, a terrific actress anytime, but she shines as the controversial and hot blooded artist who finally makes Bette grow up a little.

Summary: Still watching it...
Comment: I've only watched through the third episode, but so far it is better than Season 3. The gals are still making poor choices, but at least there are interesting character tidbits along the way.

Summary: ok if you don't use blu-ray
Comment: The DVDs work fine the only technical issue I had with this product is that they do not work with some blu-ray systems, more specifically, the blu-rays that are made to connect to Netflix. When I tried playing the discs on the blu-ray the picture wouldn't show or there would be sound but it was the wrong image, etc. After troubleshooting the system we realized that it just doesn't like playing the L Word season 4 discs.

Summary: Can This Series GET More Liberal?
Comment: I've spent the past 2 weeks watching seasons 1-4 (and I'm totally jonesing waiting for 5 to become available on DVD)and I almost feel I need to rewatch them all for perspective on the series so far. I have found each episode in each season to be immensely amusing, sometimes very touching, always interesting. I like that the plotlines address all facets and experiences of lesbian life.
My only complaint, really, is the out of control overt politicization so pervasive in the fourth season. I'm aware that most lesbians (in my experience) are rabidly and radically (and oppressively) Left. But for me, the rare Republican/Libertarian, the completely unrestrained Bush-bashing of season four somewhat took away from the overall quality of the series as a whole.
I wonder how these characters, or their real life counterparts, would fare in a country controlled by Wahabi fascists? If they think the Christian Right has an agenda (and it does) for dealing with "alternative lifestyles", that's nothing compared to the Islamic "final solution". Wake up, Lesbians of America. Remember 9/11?
