I’m not a big fan of the old L word. I think I stopped watching at some point cause I was getting bored then a few months later I thought ‘ugh I still have to finish this show’ and I did. For now I’m enjoying the new season. Shane’s still boring and repetitive, but I’m curious about Alice, Bette (Tina) and her daughter arcs and I like Dani (I’m waiting for her to hook up with Bette). It’s not the best show out there, but it never was. People expectations were too high.

Yeah, I guess there are so few shows that are so deliberately about wlw (I guess just this one and Lip Service), people ascribe all kinds of meaning and representational weight to it. It does seem like the new one is improving on the latter, anyway. I’m glad you’re finding the new one more enjoyable!
