Torrent The Real L Word Season 3 Episode 512/29/2022 ![]() ![]() In some ways the show brings this on, from a hyper-defensive title to some unnecessary posturing in its more manipulative story lines (a to-the-camera speech by Gloria Steinham is a low point). In these PC times it is hard not to talk about a show like "L" without stepping into the middle of a political firestorm. The performances are precise and jump boldly and with full commitment through each flaming hoop and some sloppy writing. The dramatic outbursts are raw and, at their best, difficult to watch. You don't need a man to ruin your life, these women make each other miserable all on their own. "L" has a late night Showtime inclination to titillate, but often the sex scenes and plentiful gratuitous nudity are the dullest part. A gay marriage coupled coupled with a gay divorce, the excitement of new love coupled with the misery of a cheating partner, and sex is sometimes a beautiful expression of companionship and sometimes a meaty, awkward, disgusting mess. While it lacks "Sex's" intellectual pontification, everything - everything - about "Word" feels real. Stripping away the romanticized fairy tale of the relationship show, "Word" runs on pure, naked authenticity. ![]() A niche series played so specifically to a sliver demographic it could only work on Showtime, "L" is a strong-fisted answer to "Sex and the City" - though different in every possible way. If HBO is the standard setter, Showtime has carved out a niche "answering" HBO. Once the show starts rolling, the characters sink their teeth into you and don't let go.
