- Mostly because, I think, I just was interested
in other things.
- And then, I also didn't really come out until
two years ago.
And then by that time there was a lot of other shows
that I could've watched.
- So I'm expecting a lot of drama.
- From what friends told me, lots of sex.
- A lot of women being pretty and beautiful
in Los Angeles.
("The L Word" theme song)
(laughing)
- It's very campy.
- This is a really, really long theme song.
- Okay, so there's like some people of color already.
That's not bad.
- I don't know what the (beep) I just watched.
- I feel like the singer was literally given a notepad
of lyrics and goes, "Just go with it."
- So long.
That's like the thing about cable TV, we're like,
"We're gonna make out intro songs an hour."

Chuckling, we're having fun, we're just flirty lesbians.
- Marina's hot.
- Is she one of those, like, characters that's totally like,
"Oh, I can make you gay"?
- The girl in the middle, if I were her I would already
be gone, I'd be like, "These two are gonna bang, I'm out."
- So, straight girl is not straight.
- Then one of them just, like, farts, like right now.
- And now they're making out in the bathroom.
Someone just peed in there, is that not disgusting?
- It's funny 'cause it's so sexy, but my thing is like,
if anyone followed me into the bathroom I'd be like,
"Oh, you'd run the (beep) out."

- 'Course it's a Mini Cooper.
- Flip phone!
This is so old!
- Basically, like spies trying to figure out if this
woman is queer.
- What's with all the power suits?
- This is, like, fun 'cause it's sort of like people do
very toned down versions of this with their friends.
- Yes!
A way to get a lesbian's attention is to be more lesbian
in front of them.
- Of course they send Jane in to figure out if
she's into girls.
- She's very subtly shutting her down.
- A lot of people do experience anxiety about approaching
other women because they don't know if the other
person likes women.
So, I'm glad that this show exists,
I understand the problems with it.
I think, you know, it's not a perfect show.
- People can critique as much as they want,
I think it's admirable that they tried to include as much
diversity as they can.
Could they have added more?
Sure.
- No, I don't think I would go back and watch the series.
- There isn't that many shows that focus on women that
like other women and I think that's, like, a shame.
Everybody wants, like, some mindless entertainment
and if, like, ladies get to have sex, it's even better.
