Showtime's
frank and vibrant television drama THE L WORD details the
personal and professional exploits of a group of lesbian
and bisexual women in the hip West Hollywood section of
Los Angeles. Writer Jenny (Mia Kirshner) is fresh out of
college and has just moved to the city to be with her swim
coach boyfriend Tim (Eric Mabius). Their neighbors, Bette
(Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman), are a lesbian
couple looking for a sperm donor so they can become
parents. Among their friends are closeted tennis player
Dana (Erin Daniels), kooky bisexual Alice (Leisha Haley),
promiscuous Joan Jett-lookalike Shane (Katherine Moennig),
and Bette's recovering alcoholic half-sister Kit (Pam
Grier). As Jenny becomes integrated into this group of
strong personalities, she begins to challenge her lifelong
heterosexuality with a torrid affair with exotic cafe
owner Marina (Karina Lombard). Driven by smart writing,
moody direction, and provocative storylines, THE L WORD is
a truly groundbreaking series that delves into issues
specific to the lesbian community without sacrificing
universality. This collection includes all 13 episodes of
the series' addictive debut season. |
