The L Word

OK, so it's not West Wing. But that was the best TV series ever.
It's alot like a lesbian version of Sex and the City, but that key word-"lesbian"-makes all the difference.
sure it's a soap opera. But just think how much back-patting All My Children gets for having one lesbian character. And what are the politics of one lesbian character.
Basically The L Word is a break-through series. I know most people don't get Showtime, but if you do, watch it. If not buy it or rent it.It's worth it.
It's about family, the families people emerge from and the families people who feel outside the mainstream create for their survival. It's not always pretty, but it is real.
It's, as the song says, about the way people live and love. And that's what art should be. Maybe someday there'll be something like it on network TV, but I'm not holding my breath.
