Character Analysis Of Showtime's 'The L word'

So I immersed myself into the lesbian world of the L word. I've only finished the first season and

I. CANNOT. STAND. IT.

But I also love it.

Let me explain. The L word is a complex TV show filled with lust, love, lying, cheating, etc. Just like any other television show. But it has a ton of lesbian stuff in it. That is what makes it a really great TV show, because what other TV show is made up 90% lesbian cast. So anyway, I have a ton of complaints about this amazing (but awful at the same time) work of art. So here are my complaints about each characters.

Don't judge me too much because I've watched the first season. I'm working on the rest.

1. Jenny


By far the worst character on this show. Jenny is an emotional mess. That is the only way to describe her. It's okay to be confused about your sexuality, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But cheating will always be wrong, JENNY. And after she cheated, she acted as if she was the victim. UGH!

2. Shane

Shane is my character so far in the show. She has a super sexy way about her. Her attitude is f**k them and leave them. But she fell in love... with the worst person ever. Never in my life did I think of Shane to act so reckless... especially for a rich, married MILF.

3. Bette

Bette was my favorite in the beginning. She was a career woman in a long-term, successful relationship with a woman that quit her job to devote herself to getting pregnant. Of course better messed up by cheating. The one character that was SOOO mad about Jenny cheating on her man. She lost me as a fan once she cheated.

4. Tina


The one that Bette cheated on. I actually have no complaints about her. Tina is perfect.

5. Dana


Dana is adorable, but naive. Which is what makes her character soooo annoying. Always complaining about not getting laid even though the love of her life (in my opinion), aka Alice, has been sitting in front of her since the beginning of the show. I also hate her because she moved in with a woman after knowing her for like 24 hours. Definition of lonely right there.

6. Alice

Alice is also perfect. I like them blondes.

7. Kit

The only straight character in this show... so far. I don't have much against Kit except for the fact that she completely led a woman on!!!! Dude, you know you're as straight as a ruler, why are you gonna lead someone on like that. The worst part is because she needed money. Shady. SO SHADY.

Please don't judge me on these analyses. I'm sure these characters have developed more throughout the show, but I just couldn't keep it bottled up inside of me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
