*1/13/20 update: Showtime has renewed The L Word: Generation Q for a second season.
Absolutely love it. I will have to subscribe again once the show’s 2nd season is ready for release.
Absolutely love it, great story lines, and I love how they use some of today’s issues i their stories.
I give it 10 out of 10 *
I was a huge fan of the original Lword… i’m so glad to see the reboot. I think the writing in GenQ is great. I like how the team has intertwined some of the original cast with the new. It seems like the show will relate to different generations this way. I wish there were more episodes and I hope to see success to allow for many more seasons!
my friend ash silver is doing a review of the ogs if ur interested tune into her youtube channel its very good
I am finding this version to be a little too over-dramatic and predictable. I find myself liking some characters but I am finding other characters completely vapid and annoying. Many of my peers feel the same.
I have given it a shot but I’m done.
Love Shane and Sarah though!
I agree with you!
Eventhough i enjoyed it, This show is extremely predictible and some characters are boring as hell, some of the plots feel lost, and some of the actresses don’t have chemistry at all. If they want to stay on air, they are going to need some changes! some of the casting felt like, they were looking for representation, which is great! but they completely forgot about talent!
I felt the same way!! A younger person told me that it tells my , “Age”… lol. That people my age then probably felt the same of the original…but now my age is the one who thinks it is over dramatic and find irritation with some of the new, younger crew. Yes!! Because I can’t imagine thinking Shane is ever over dramatic or irritating! Lol. So be it!
it has just been renewed for a series 2 today
Yes, Renew, it’s getting better with each episode.
I was a die-hard fan of the original LWord, but I am enjoying Gen Q just as much! The character development is coming along nicely and the storylines are great. The original characters have been masterfully intertwined with the new cast in a believable “fast-forward 10 years” setting. GenQ has retained the drama, suspense, sexiness and humor of the original series. Please renew GenQ for Season Two!
I cant see it getting renewed the show is too short in episodes and its not reaching the required amount to renew it after last nights episode with only 3 to go I think it will get ended now that we know jenny killed herself and kit overdosed theres nothing left to tidy up
Love it! Renew it!
I love the show, please renew it! Don’t forget to count all of us who watch it On Demand.
I think they need to bring back the originals to save the series
There are originals on it.
wat I meant was bring back sarah shahi as carmen and Rachel shelley as Helena and Holland taylor as the senator grisham and max
The elephant in the room is that lesbians do not like to be called *****
we don’t like labels that’s why everyone should be able to live as they want
Renew this show pleassseeee
Please renew this show!!
oh dear the show is not gonna get any better
