    Kate manages to convey such vulnerability and toughness at the same time. Of the whole cast, she has such a layered presence that makes you believe she could be feeling many things at once. It’s so mesmerizing. ❤

  • @DanaX09
    @DanaX09 7 місяців тому +5

    I liked the idea of the L word, and obviously it was hot, but I think it portrayed lesbians as people who were completely unable to maintain healthy relationships. I get that it was sort of a soap opera format, but it would have had a more positive impact on society, if at least some of the couples were in stable monogamous relationships and maintained boundaries between friends and lovers. When I first saw this show I was finding myself and frankly it scared me and put me off trying to connect with the lesbian community. I wanted ONE lover and a relationship, I did not want to be involved if all that was available was a steady stream of “ships in the night”.

    • @QuidVitaeSectaborIter42
      @QuidVitaeSectaborIter42 17 днів тому

      Bette and Tina were a very interesting couple to explore long term relationship, commitment and boundaries. Dana was layers of "I just want to be able to fit in and secure stability", having a difficult time connecting with herself and significant others. Also, J's straight couple was a pretty efficient counter example of the unsaid drama outside of the "community" you described. BTW let's keep in mind that these are groups of poeple gravitating in LA/Hollywood/Artsy/Sports celebraty entourage. As a teen in the 2000's/2010's, you may discover the L Word and have it as one of your core references but it was not pretending to be a typical portrayal of the everyday - queer - woman. I hope you could overcome the fear, and turn it to your advantage.
