Product Description Contains the complete fourth season. Star Jennifer Beals, Pam Grier, Leisha Hailey, Laurel Holloman Special Features: Anamorphic Widescreen Audio: Dolby Digital Surround 5.1 Mono - English, Spanish Dolby Digital Surround 2.0 Mono - English, Spanish Runtime: 625 minutes Year of Release: 2007. desertcart.com If the third season was marked by transitions, The L Word's fourth concerns growing up--or trying to, at any rate. Shane (Katherine Moennig) becomes her brother Shay's guardian, Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman) stop fighting over their daughter Angelica, and Bette's new boss, Phyllis (a very game Cybill Shepherd), decides it's time to embrace her true nature. So, after 25 years of marriage (Bruce Davison plays her husband), Chancellor Kroll comes out of the closet--and sets her sights on Alice (Leisha Hailey). For all the inclusiveness, Max (Daniela Sea), still remains on the margins. Dumped by Jenny (Mia Kirshner) the year before, Max continues to share her apartment while acclimating to life as a man. For those who felt season three was too dark, four offers a welcome corrective. There's still plenty of angst--Jenny's memoir meets with a few negative notices (Heather Matarazzo's journalist pens the harshest critique) and Helena (Rachel Shelley) learns to live without Mommy's money--but there are plenty of moving moments to compensate (most revolving around Shane and Shay). New additions also arrive to shake things up, like Marlee Matlin as an artist who helps Bette to broaden her horizons, Kristanna Loken as a single mother with a yen for Shane, and Rose Rollins as an Iraq War veteran with whom Alice has a tryst (leading to a well intentioned, if heavy-handed message about how even liberals should support the troops). As in seasons past, the directorial line-up impresses as much as the acting talent, and includes Oscar winner Marleen Gorris (Antonia's Line) and playwright Moisés Kaufman (The Laramie Project). Since creator Ilene Chaiken makes most special features, like deleted scenes, available online, this set offers few extras, other than biographies, a photo gallery, and episodes of The Tudors and Californication. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Review: THE L WORD - 4TH SEASON R-O-C-K-S! - I have watched and own the past 3 seasons of 'The L Word' and have preordered the 4th season. I intend to order every season after this, as well. It's historical. Even though, 'The L Word' is not butch/femme, femme/boi, stone butch, soft butch (ETC.) inclusive with the 501's and white t-shirts, it still is lesbian exposure....from the U.S., no less! In my opinion, ANY exposure is better than no exposure. We have a major network willing to deal with the subject of lesbianism. That, in itself, is a MAJOR deal considering the U.S. is sooooo narrow minded when it comes to the subject of sexuality. This is a step further. Every tiny step, eventually, will amount to lots of progress down the road. Probably, I won't see the inclusion of the much varied lesbian community on any network; however, this should not stop us from continuing to pave the path for the preteen lesbians out there who are desperately seeking ANY lesbian role models. The L Word is an asset to our community. Sept. 18, 07 I didn't mention this before, but 'The L Word' has been a great show to watch. I've thoroughly enjoyed each and every episode of each season. I would have loved to have been able to watch a show like this when I was 13! JULY 28, 2008 Well, it was fun while it lasted! I have pre-ordered the 6th and final season of 'The L Word'. I truly believe in my comments and convictions which I had written last year. This series has had a fantastic run, and I'm very sad to see it 'go'. However, it is a very good 'start' for television media corporate executives to see. This series has done very well, and this just goes to show what mainstream audiences wish to view (at times). We all know that the majority of people in society(s) have very varied sexual lives. Straight and married have, since the beginning of time, NOT been the norm. All you have to do is google 'historical sexual lives of _______, and you will find so much information that you will not be able to read it all. Or, google something similar. Just change your words around a bit. I hope we see more series like or similar to 'The L Word' in the very near future. Review: The best of the first 4 seasons - Season 4 is the best of the first 4 seasons. The depth and dimension of the plot in this season comes from the fact that it finally has a broader character diversity and also digs deeper into social issues. In season 3, the show introduced its first character who is not from art, fashion or music background. Max/Moira is the only character in science or technology (yes, finally). In season 4, we now have two characters in IT, Max and Grace. This season also introduces Tasha, who is in military. Bette and Phyllis portray people in academia (although their personalities and stories are quite inaccurate portrayals compared with real life). I applaud the show for (albeit only lightly) touching issues like transphobia, sexism and women in science and engineering, gays in military, abandoned kids and parental responsibilities, bullying in schools, political differences, middle-aged closeted lesbian, etc. I also enjoy deeper development of characters like Shane, Alice, Max, and Helena. These give the show dimensions and makes it look less like a cheap soap opera/soft porn with shallow sex scenes aiming at perverted straight men audience as it had been in some of the previous seasons (mainly the first season and the end of season 2 basically). I've been enjoying this season a lot.

The best of the first 4 seasons
Season 4 is the best of the first 4 seasons. The depth and dimension of the plot in this season comes from the fact that it finally has a broader character diversity and also digs deeper into social issues. In season 3, the show introduced its first character who is not from art, fashion or music background. Max/Moira is the only character in science or technology (yes, finally). In season 4, we now have two characters in IT, Max and Grace. This season also introduces Tasha, who is in military. Bette and Phyllis portray people in academia (although their personalities and stories are quite inaccurate portrayals compared with real life). I applaud the show for (albeit only lightly) touching issues like transphobia, sexism and women in science and engineering, gays in military, abandoned kids and parental responsibilities, bullying in schools, political differences, middle-aged closeted lesbian, etc. I also enjoy deeper development of characters like Shane, Alice, Max, and Helena.

I've been enjoying this season a lot.

The L Word Rocks!
It may just be that I am a geek and feel like the girls on this show are my friends and family (or lovers - hehe), but I loved this season and I enjoy finding out what they are up to. Maybe a little outrageous with Jenny's crazy antics, but Hollywood has to make everything sensational to keep up ratings. Overall, I adored another season with the girls and I cannot wait to get the next season.

Big Fans
We've bought all the seasons, and pre-bought upcoming seasons as soon as they were announced. It's great to have the extra features available on the DVD, be able to choose which episodes to watch or re-watch, and invite friends over to watch with us. Though we don't relate to the extremes the characters portray -- excess, beauty, lots and lots of sex with many partners, and what seems like a trademark of the show: the constant use of the word f@ck -- we do enjoy the twists and turns. And hey -- Isn't it always nice to stare at a screen of beautiful, intelligent and for the most part prosperous people?

This show just keeps getting better
This is without a doubt the best drama series I've ever seen. The 4th season just keeps the show moving, and leaves you running to find out when the 5th season is coming out. The stories grab you, the characters draw you in, and you keep watching episode after episode b/c you HAVE to know what happens next. And the return of a character in the last episode might leave you in tears.

addictive
The L-Word is a series about lesbian life in LA. The characters are well developed and realistic. I find it all a bit too glamorous, but I guess that's nicer to look at. Also, their world is a bit too focussed on lesbians, men (even gay) are rare. But for the rest: I had to watch all episodes in a row, which tied me on my couch for 2 days!

I found this season to be riveting. The acting is fantastic and the characters are life-like as you follow them through the story line's obstacles, twists and turns. Highly recommended, especially if there is someone in your life struggling with their sexuality..
