The third season of Showtime's The L Word is all about transitions. The season opens with Alice Pieszecki (Leisha Hailey) coping with her between-seasons break-up with Dana Fairbanks (Erin Daniels), who is herself headed for an even heavier series of transitions. Kit Porter (Pam Grier) both falls in love with a younger man and discovers she is going through menopause. Shane (Katherine Moennig), who spent much of the first two seasons of the show hopping from bed to bed, finds herself more or less committed to Latina deejay Carmen (Sarah Shahi). And the second season's resident villain, Helena Peabody (Rachel Shelley), becomes embroiled in a sexual harassment case that leaves her ultimately looking like the victim. As with previous seasons, The L Word gets all hot and bothered with various seductions filmed to sometimes jarring music on the soundtrack, but it's the day-to-day foibles and celebrations of Los Angeles's lesbian community that keep the show interesting. Newcomer Moira/Max (Daniela Sea) begins the process of gender reassignment, making for some curious situations with potential employers. Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman) begin to drift apart when Tina lands a big movie studio job and starts feeling attracted to men, leading to a custody battle over their baby daughter. Where The L Word starts getting preachy and obvious is in the opening flashback sequences. When these vignettes refer to current characters of the show, they make sense; when they depict situations meant to underline how queer identity has evolved over the years, they seem politically overloaded. The L Word works intelligently through its characters' concerns without having to resort to such direct appeals for tolerance. Its strength isn't in making lesbian culture appear more mainstream, but in making us care and identify with these women's struggles, regardless of our sexual orientation. --Ryan Boudinot REVISIT THE TIGHTLY-KNIT COMPLEX CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IN L.A.'S LESBIAN COMMUNITY AS THEY STRUGGLE TO MAKE SENSE OF A WORLD FILLED WITH LOVE, CHILDREN, TATTOOS, FAMILIES, WEDDINGS, FUNERALS, THE 'C-WORD' & SOMETIMES EVEN MEN. Review: Simply the best - I Love, Love, LOVE The L Word! This is the best series about women BY FAR! A lot of people have compared it to QAF (Queer As Folk), but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, as both are amazing series. I own the 1st and 2nd L Word seasons (and have watched them over and over), and the 3rd is on it's way to my home as I type. I cannot wait! This (3rd) season is pretty heavy. It is also shorter than the other two (I think). But, I have to say I still loved it so much! I cried like a baby towards the end of the season (those who watched it should know why). If you are a lesbian, and want to see a series that you can relate to, I would definately reccommend this series!!! It's great because it takes away stereotypes and lets people see that we are all just normal gals, who happen to love other normal gals! Review: Can't wait to watch the next season of this series!!!! - This is the best series I have EVER watched! After each season, I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for the next, this season is no exception!! True, season 3 had some tough times for the characters as others have mentioned, but that's what made it so real and my favorite yet! Just writing this review makes me anxious all over again to pop the next disc in and get my fix! UPDATE: Sheesh, what started out to be an awesome show sure left me dropping my mouth open at how it went to complete crap the last couple seasons. Should have spared us all the time of sitting throught the last couple, ooh...throw in some unoriginal drama and call it the L-Word? I don't think so. What a bummer.

As addictive as season 1 and 2
After many hours searching the internet for the third series I finally came across it. I ended up watching the whole thing in a day and a half! I guess the only thing I didn't like about it was I felt as though I had missed something between the last episode of season 2 and the first episode of season 3 because it took a while to figure out what was going on. Needless to say I quickly got over that became rivited again to thise series that I would be completely lost without if it ended. All your favourite characters are back and a few introductions too. I laughed, I cried and most importantly.... I LOVED IT!!

I love them regardless
It would be great if the writers read these reviews, but I know they're mostly for other people considering purchasing. I don't get cable TV, so Showtime is out of the question. This is something I've done every year now, simply purchase the series. The characters go through interesting transitions and yes, there are plenty you love to hate. But it's like a good book, you can't wait to go home and watch the next episode when you've just bought the series to see what happens to the girls next! It's hot, it's fun, and yes,. I guess it is shorter than other years, but to me, still well worth the $$ to watch it again and loan it out to my friends.

Good season but could have been better
I became hooked on L Word from watching season 4 on Showtime. So I ordered seasons 1 and 2 and finally season 3. I agree with several other posters who say that key characters' personalities seem to have done 180's. Bette turns into a marshmallow; Tina suddenly "needs a man;" level-headed Alice becomes a pill-popping stalker; and Helena the conniver becomes Helena the connived. Unlike some others, though, I find the Moira/Max (Daniela Sea) storyline interesting and thought-provoking. The scenes in which Dylan falls for Helena were oh-so-sexy (and I'm straight!); but the video set-up for the sexual harrassment suit was stupid and it was clear to the viewer what would happen next. I could have done without the Billie character. Angus and Kit had some cute moments, but the whole menopause storyline could have been far more interesting and real without Angus. And why kill off Dana? She was, by far, the most entertaining character on the show--coordinated but goofy, smart but out of it. I can only assume that Erin wanted out of the show for some reason. Now for the DVD's themselves: what's up with the sad extras? One of my favorite things about the season 2 DVD's was the commentary by Leisha, Kate, and Erin for the "Land Ahoy" episode. It was hysterical. When I opened up season 3 and realized there was no commentary on any of the episodes by anyone, I felt really cheated. Please, please, please, Showtime, when you put out the season 4 DVD's, put commentary by cast members on at least four episodes. Take a leaf out of NCIS' (or CSI's) book!

The Best Series Yet!
Wow what an amazing series! The 3rd outing for the 'L Word' takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride opening our eyes to the often difficult and unspoken issues that do not only affect the lesbian community while never forgetting that 'life goes on' and often with fabulous humour. This series takes the 'L Word' to the highest level of quality drama that will take you on a journey with a group of friends that we all wish we where part of.

The L Word - Third Season
What can I say. Since I don't subscribe to HBO, this is the only way I can view this series. I love the music and the plots. I heard that Cybil Sheppard will be appearing on this years series. When she was asked why she chose to appear on this series, her answer was, "My mentor told me in order to become a better actor, always play a character you have never played; and I've never played a Lesbian." I feel it's pretty good acting since the greater majority of actors playing these parts are not gay. I am glad to see the success of this show. Looking forward to purchasing the next series.

I'm Officially Hooked!
A friend of mine recommended this series to me and once I stared watching it I was hooked! This show covers just about every issue that single women, not just lesbians, go through trying to find the balance between relationships, careers, and family. The fact that it centers around a group of lesbians is just a plus as far as I'm concerned. I love the way they interact with each other and come to each other's rescue whenever there is a crisis. It makes me long for this type of support in my own life. Before you judge the show for being lesbian-based, watch and see for yourself how good it really is. Enjoy.

EXCELLENT SERIES!!!
I had remembered seeing bits and pieces of this show on tv while it was still airing and thought it looked good, but never had the channels at home to be able to watch it fully. Recently it was mentioned to me again and got me curious. I wanted to buy the complete series to save some money as it's cheaper to buy that way, but since I had only seen a few pieces of episodes I didn't want to spend that amount of money without knowing if I would really like it. Now I wish I had! From the first episode I was hooked! I made it half way through the first season in two days and was online buying the next season. Now I'm about to start season 3 and I am still hooked! It's a wonderful, WONDERFUL show!! You're bound to find characters to most look forward to seeing, and ones your not that fond of... and overall the diversity in the story lines is great! I'm in love with this show! I would absolutely recommend this!!

The "L" Word Third Season
This season takes you back to visit the tight group of friends, who just happen to be lesbian, and shows you Their unconditional love and respect for each other as they go through the trials and tribulations of everyday life. It is serious and seriously funny at the same time. Each character is well defined. Each personality believable and incredibly accurate when depicting each of their life goals and struggles to reach them. Would definitely recommend for an older female teenager struggling with their own sexual identity.
