Day 11 of TV Meme: A show that disappointed you
Day 11 - A show that disappointed you
I'm easily disappointable, to be honest. However, I decided to dedicate this spot to The L Word. While it was hardly ever perfect, I liked it at the time, I still am quite fond of the characters (nevermind their rather inconsistent writing and oftentimes strangely changing behaviour every season) and it was sort of my entrance into a queer world. Then Season 5 and 6 happened. If you've seen TLW or just want to know how bad they screwed up, go on and read following spot-on articles: There's Something About Jenny[s] - Why Killing Jenny is Kiling All of Us & A Letter to Mama Chaiken From FTM Computer Search Champion Mighty Max Sweeney.
As riese from Autostraddle wrote up there:
The L Word likes ending characters with a bang, telling you precisely how to remember them via instant transformation - Nikki leaves vapid & stupid, Jodi leaves petty & immature, Ivan ends dishonest & hypocritical. I think that’s a cop-out, I prefer open-ended exits like Molly’s or Grace’s [and by that I mean -- come back!!]. Now Jenny’s gonna leave batshit crazy. And one place Ilene has fucked up royally is handling Jenny’s obvious mental illness and sexual abuse. But I could bitch about that forevs and piss everyone off. So.
FYI, I like(d) Jenny, Jodi and Ivan.
The second article is about the show's transphobic handling of Max.
*sigh*
