The later seasons after the showrunner's departure being generally weaker (and in one of TV history's more surprising character developments, gradually turning formerly adorable Rory's character into an entitled, callous and rather unlikable person) is the only reason this is not a five star show. And I'm still hovering at 4.7-4.8 and could really be rounding it either way. Heartfelt, sweet, and oh so funny, this is everything a light-hearted family drama should be.

In a clever move, the producers of The L Word use season five to revisit the origins of their own creation. After Jenny (Mia Kirshner) sets out to direct the silver-screen edition of her novel, Lez Girls, she enters a parallel world populated by actors playing thinly-veiled versions of the central cast (in a typical Jenny move, she sleeps with the star who portrays "Jesse"). This post-modern plotline brings newcomers up to speed, while offering early-adapters new perspectives on the past.

A gay cheerleader is sent to a camp to learn to be straight.

I like the colorful, DIY style of the production. But the actual story and characters don't offer much beyond what you can get from a two sentence synopsis. And the sense of humor basically boils down to, "ha ha, that person's gay."

I don't understand why this is boring. There's always something big happening, but it never seems to matter.
