The L Word - The Complete First Season description
Four years after Showtime made gay men the focus of its original series Queer as Folk, it was time for a little turnabout with The L Word (bad title, great show). Centering around a tight-knit group of lesbians in Los Angeles, this drama was far removed from its working-class male counterpart in both style and content. While the men ... review details

Entertaining, but a tad unrealistic.....

I enjoyed watching the first season of "The L Word." In the beginning, during the first few episodes, I didn't think I was going to particularly care for the series, but as I progressed further into each episode I began to care more and more about each character.
The series revolves around a group of lesbians (and one or two bisexuals) whose lives are intertwined in one way or another. On the whole, the issues touched upon in this first season are the kind one would find in every day ordinary life, namely love, friendship, betrayal, jealousy, etc. It is fun to watch this group interact with one another. You'll also find several episodes dedicated to larger societal issues, such as censorship and gay parenting.
On the whole, however, you will not be bogged down with excessive political agenda-setting maneuvering, and I appreciated that this series didn't attempt to resolve all the world's problems in one fell swoop in its first season. You won't find any over-the-top Rosie O'Donnell-type obnoxiousness, and I suspect the series wouldn't be as successful as it has been if this had been the case. There is a nice balance in this first season, and those who aren't inclined towards misandry, misanthropy, or the chronic malcontent mindset will surely find something to like somewhere along the way.
One thing I didn't particularly care for, and which is not exclusive to this show in particular, was the fact that almost all the characters are beautiful, slim and trim, and have very interesting careers and lives. Come on. We all know better. But then again, I doubt very many people would want to watch the daily machinations and inner workings of this subculture's most obnoxious and undesireable.
All in all, I really enjoyed the first season of The L Word.
