season three of this great series sees big changes for all our cast members. it starts of with jenny coming back to la with a girlfriend in tow, tina and bette adjusting to being mothers. although the gang is rocked with one of them annoucing some rather tragic news they do manage to find some happiness to keep going. helena gets herself into legal trouble, carmen comes out to her latino family, tina goes back to men and jenny publishes her book. does lose its way a bit but still going strong.

The first 2 minutes of watching this gets you totally hooked and you imediately start laughing at the clever humour.
After watching a few episodes you get to know the characters really well and want to keep watching to find out what happens to them.
The kind of tv you don't have to concentrate on and buying a boxset is much better than having to wait a week for the next part to come on tv.
This is the best tv show in the world!

I LOVED the strong start to the season (although didn't love the annoyingly catchy and overlong new theme song!) I was totally gripped by the first four or five episodes, then hated new character Helena and became annoyed by Tina and bored by the too-frequent 'weird Jenny' inerludes. (Did like the Sandra Berhard and Gloria Steinem cameos, though - but Arianna Huffington's was a bit embarrassing...)
Alice & Dana's relationship was the best thing about the series, and they both acted it wonderfully. The season ended well, but floundered a bit in the middle. 4 stars for effort, though.

I only took a liking to this film when I watched it with the director's commentary. It's an incredibly sweet story about a black girl from an upper middle classed background and a white girl from a working class background. The story isn't so complex, but then that's not what this film is about. It's incredibly sunny and optimistic, which at first seems unrealistic. For example, the ending is more like a comedy sketch, and a teenager dating a thirty-something broad seems really unlikely. But it's about coming out, finding your first love - and I think that is very well portrayed. Randy and Evie are remarkably cute, and I wonder why I haven't seen them elsewhere.
This is clearly a budget film - if you watch closely, you'll see there are about ... Read More:

Another great performance from the always
wonderful Janet McTeer, for which she was
nominated for an Oscar in 2000 (only missing-
out narrowly to Hilary Swank in 'Boys Don't
Cry'). Janet's facility for accents is at the
fore, here, as she is a classically trained
British actress born in Newcastle and raised
in York, England. Yet her Southern drawl is
as good as any in Hollywood, and it amazed
reporters at the Sundance film festival to
hear her speaking 'The Queen's English' to
them in interview.
One amusing element of the story is where
Mary Jo's has to help her daughter to learn
her lines for a school production of Romeo
and Juliet. Here, Janet has to divest ... Read More:

Season 4 is a return to form for the Lword. Extensive fan criticism has been taken into account and there is here a lot of redressing for some of the odd behaviour we struggled with in season 3. Once again the show is gripping, happy to tackle relevant issues- gay parenting, coming out to your kids and dealing with their rejection. Coming out late in life and dating an army lesbian, amongst other things. There is some great additions to the cast, Rose Rawlins for one, some touching moments and really funny bits.
