Synopsis: Showtime's frank and vibrant television drama THE L WORD details the personal and professional exploits of a group of lesbian and bisexual women in the hip West Hollywood section of Los Angeles.... Showtime's frank and vibrant television drama THE L WORD details the personal and professional exploits of a group of lesbian and bisexual women in the hip West Hollywood section of Los Angeles. Writer Jenny (Mia Kirshner) is fresh out of college and has just moved to the city to be with her swim coach boyfriend Tim (Eric Mabius). Their neighbors, Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman), are a lesbian couple looking for a sperm donor so they can become parents. Among their friends are closeted tennis player Dana (Erin Daniels), kooky bisexual Alice (Leisha Haley), promiscuous Joan Jett-lookalike Shane (Katherine Moennig), and Bette's recovering alcoholic half-sister Kit (Pam Grier). As Jenny becomes integrated into this group of strong personalities, she begins to challenge her lifelong heterosexuality with a torrid affair with exotic cafe owner Marina (Karina Lombard). Driven by moody direction, provocative storylines, and emotionally engaging characters, THE L WORD is a truly groundbreaking series that delves into issues specific to the lesbian community without sacrificing universality. This collection includes all 13 episodes of the series' addictive debut season. [More]
