‘L Word’ breaks new ground in season four

The ladies of “The L Word” are back with their most ambitious season to date.

After a prolonged two-year sophomore slump, the fourth season has managed to jumpstart itself.

Taking on issues including the Iraq War, biphobia, late-bloomers, heterosexual privilege, transgender identity, Deaf culture, and class and race relations, the series runs the risk of addressing too much at once. But the story arcs progress comfortably over the first six episodes, careful not to overwhelm fans with too much politicking.

This is a deliberate move by the writers.
