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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
