- List of The L Word episodes on IMDb
Alice Pieszecki summed it all up nicely when she grinned widely at a room full of women and said, 'Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies..thank god for my little lesbian Planet.'
At the time, Alice (Leisha Hailey) was just relieved to be back at The Planet—West Hollywood's finest lesbian cafe and social center of the L Word universe—after a long night indulging the whims of aggressively dull heterosexual suburbanites, but it cuts right to the heart of what The L Word meant to the communities that grew up around it and developed a deep love(/hate) relationship with it. The world of The L Word is full of women, money, sex, dates, drama, Dinah Shore weekends, and even the occasional game of high-stakes Strip Gin Rummy. It's a world completely unlike any other, including and especially the real one.
The L Word unabashedly and unapologetically portrayed the lives and loves of a group of lady-loving gal pals living in Los Angeles. It pulled no punches, minced no words and included men only when strictly necessary. It was a world in which characters were gay until proven straight. Sapphic vibes were the standard and it was a kind of sanctuary for an audience unaccustomed to seeing themselves represented in mainstream media.
The show was far from perfect—it often fell short on its treatment of issues like transitioning, gender identity, and diversity, and it frequently excluded large segments of the LGBT community. But The L Word made strides in normalizing the idea of complex queer female characters on television and created a world for an audience that was (and still is) hungry for representation. Through the gritty, comedic, and often heartbreaking portrayal of its main characters, the creators of The L Word began to show the world that queer women are not some unknown, unknowable creatures leading deviant lifestyles driven by alien motives, but honest-to-god humans who muddle through the complications that arise from dating, making friends, breaking up, choosing sides, and going on road trips with your mom, your ex's current, and your crush in the same car.
The series begins with Jenny Schecter's (Mia Kirshner) arrival in LA. Shortly after she's moved in, she's caught up in a whirling dervish of what *Orange is the New Black’*s Mr. Healy would deem 'lesbian activity.” She's our way into this little lesbian microcosm, which is a shame, really, because Jenny Schecter is a human root canal and is the absolute, indisputable worst.
The rest of the cast more than makes up for Jenny, though, from Carmen (Sarah Shahi), the clever, gorgeous DJ with a Shane (Katherine Moennig) problem, to Alice, the quick-witted bisexual gossip and creator of The Chart, which details the tangled web woven by the group's sexual encounters. It won't be long before you find yourself beginning to love these characters and soon, Alice Pieszecki & Co. may feel like the friend group you occasionally wish you had, talking about all of the things you wish you could discuss. Together, they make up this rich and deep and beautiful—if frequently frustrating and occasionally downright bizarre—world of The L Word.
So step into The Planet, take a seat and order up a pear polenta tart—we've got a lot of ground to cover.
The L Word
Number of Seasons: 6 (70 episodes)
Time Requirements: You can probably knock out two to three episodes a day, so allot about a month and a half. However, you may want to give yourself some extra time to get through Season 3, which is the emotional equivalent of being waterboarded.
Where to Get Your Fix: Netflix, On Demand
Best Character to Follow: There's a little something to love about almost everyone (except Jenny), so you're likely to develop a serious soft spot for at least one of them.
Maybe it's Bette, the emotionally-intense power lesbian of the LA art world and girlfriend of Tina (Laurel Holloman). Or Helena (Rachel Shelley), the reformed rich asshole and frequent saving grace of the group. It might be Dana (Erin Daniels), the professional tennis player and amateur lesbian. It may even be Shane, the self-sabotaging reluctant heartbreaker. But the truth is, it'll probably be Alice, who's right there with you as you navigate through all of the so-good-it-hurts and so-bad-it's-good episodes of the L Word. You can count on Alice to go toe-to-toe with Jenny, balk at Dana's profound cluelessness, and keep the group from getting too wrapped up in its own implausible nonsense.
Seasons/Episodes You Can Skip:
Every episode is pretty vital, and each contributes to the mounting drama that will inevitably unravel in the final episodes of the season, so it's a good idea to watch Seasons 1-4 in their entirety. However, feel free to skip over the theme song from Season 2 onward—eventually, it will come to cause you physical pain every time you hear it.
Once you surrender the notion that you have any kind of right to understand what's happening on the L Word at any point in time, watching becomes much more enjoyable and episodes in later seasons become easier to skip. Season 5 saw the L Word lose some of the heart and playfulness that made it great. Much of the season's focus is on Jenny's film Lez Girls (yes, really), which is kind of a cheap rehash of the first season of the show. There are still a few episodes worth watching, but you can skip these without missing much.
Season 5: Episode 4, 'Let's Get This Party Started' The focus is on Lez Girls in this episode and Jenny's unprecedented brattiness becomes even more tedious than usual. Also, LA-newcomers Dawn Denbo (Elizabeth Keener) and her lover Cindi (Alicia Leigh Willis) arrive and set into motion what ends up being a very weird lesbian nightclub turf war.
Season 5: Episode 6, 'Lights! Camera! Action!' Dawn Denbo and her lover Cindi plant rats at The Planet to cause problems for Bette's half-sister Kit (Pam Grier!), who owns the establishment and has found herself unwittingly in competition with the couple's West Hollywood lesbian nightclub SheBar. (The phrase 'Dawn Denbo and her lover Cindi' will get more terrible, funnier the longer you think about it. Trust.) Everything is generic-brand terrible.
Season 5: Episode 7, 'Lesbians Gone Wild' Jenny becomes a total tyrant on the set of Lez Girls. The singular bright spot of the episode is Molly (Clementine Ford), Bette's boss's grumpy Ice Queen daughter who only seems to thaw around Shane.

Season 6Is battlefield one co op. Go out on the (relative) high note of Season 5 and spare yourself the agony that is Season 6's hard left turn into the land of character destruction and increasing implausibility. Sure, the writers finally kill off Jenny Schecter, but the season takes place during the time leading up to Jenny's death, so she's still very much a part of the show. Bummer! You can skip all of Season 6, but there are a few great clips that are worth watching on their own. Like this one.
Seasons/Episodes You Can't Skip:
Seasons 1 and 2 The hair was at its worst but the times at their simplest in Seasons 1 and 2, which is a necessary introduction to the main characters and the L Word universe. Both seasons are crucial to understanding and developing a fondness for the characters, but here the highlights and must-sees.
The L Word Watch Online 123
Season 1: Episode 2, 'Let's Do It' Dana crushes on Lara (Lauren Lee Smith)—a chef at the country club where she trains—and enlists the help of the others to determine whether or not she's gay. In a scene worthy of a low-tech heist movie, Alice, Shane, Bette, and Tina do some old-school lesbian recon.
Season 1: Episode 8, 'Listen Up' Dana comes out to her parents with Alice's support and Snoop Dogg guest stars. It is everything you hoped it might be.
Season 1: Episode 13, 'Limb From Limb' Tina discovers that Bette's been unfaithful. Meanwhile, Alice and Shane hold a funeral for Dana's dead (and frozen) cat, Dana's very new girlfriend Tonya (Meredith McGeachie) proposes, and Alice admits her feelings for Dana and kisses her. It's a big episode for Dana.
Season 2: Episode 1, 'Life, Loss, Leaving' Shane takes a job at a movie studio, does Arianna Huffington's hair and meets Carmen de la Pica Morales, a stunning, witty and confident DJ who will become the best thing that ever happened to her. Kit buys The Planet.
Season 2: Episode 4, 'Lynch Pin' British nightmare Helena Peabody arrives following her mother's retirement to take over the Peabody Foundation. Throughout Season 2 she is, in the words of Bette, the 'scourge of the universe.' But follow her storyline with the knowledge that you will grow to love Helena Peabody completely against your will.
Season 2: Episode 7, 'Luminous' Dana and Alice announce their relationship to their friends. And, perhaps most importantly, Cobie Smulders guest stars as lesbian artist Leigh Ostin.
Season 2: Episode 10, 'Land Ahoy' Part of the gang goes on a lesbian cruise. In the airport, Dana has an embarrassing run-in with the TSA when they mistake a sex toy for a weapon. Later, Alice and Dana attempt some 'Love Boat' role-play in their cabin before Dana gets suddenly and violently seasick.
Season 3: Episode 1, 'Labia Majora' Alice is heartbroken following her split with Dana. She talks about it at length on her radio show, The Chart, and cries in a yoga class with her new pal Helena. Helena buys a movie studio because money means nothing to her. Carmen's moved in with Shane. Following some time at home in Skokie, Jenny moves back to LA, bringing her new love interest Moira (Daniela Sea), who, later in the season, becomes Max and begins transitioning.
Season 3: Episode 6, 'Lifesize' After learning that Shane's been unfaithful, Carmen sits her down for a little chat about monogamy and asks her 'to be as civilized as a goddamn fucking bird,' which may very well be the angry lesbian equivalent of 'If you're a bird, I'm a bird.' Alice and Kit attend a bisexual speed dating event and Alice leaves with a lesbian vampire. Sleater Kinney (!!!) guest star.
Season 3: Episode 10, 'Losing the Light' Just six episodes after Dana is diagnosed with breast cancer, she dies in the few minutes during which Alice has stepped out of the room. 'You Are My Sunshine' plays; your heart is consumed by an icy fire and subsequently shatters into a billion unrecognizable pieces. The world is darker. You'll never truly recover. Shane proposes to Carmen.
Season 3: Episode 12, 'Left Hand of the Goddess' Several weeks after Dana's death, Helena plans Shane and Carmen's wedding and the group heads to Whistler for the ceremony. Shane leaves Carmen at the alter. Peggy Peabody (Holland Taylor) cuts Helena off from the family fortune and runs off with her former lover, who just happens to be the female wedding commissioner. Naturally.
Season 4: Episode 2, 'Livin' La Vida Loca' Helena is fired from her own studio and moves in with Alice after giving up her massive home. We meet Papi (Janina Gavankar), who is an enigmatic treasure/the only woman on Alice's digital Chart with more 'connections' than Shane.
Season 4: Episode 4, 'Layup' Bette meets deaf artist Jodi Lerner (Marlee Matlin) through her work at the university and sparks fly. Papi challenges Alice & Co. to a basketball game, which produces a sequence that remains one of the best in L Word history. Also, Alice is sleeping with Bette's new boss, Phyllis (Cybill Shepherd), who is coming out of the closet a bit, er, later in life.
Season 4: Episode 6, 'Luck Be a Lady' Alice develops a crush Papi's friend, Tasha (Rose Rollins), a soldier in the National Guard. Papi instructs Alice, Helena 'Fuck Everyone, Let’s Play Poker' Peabody, and Shane in the art of poker. Much more importantly, Papi calls Helena 'English Muffin.'
Season 5: Episode 5, 'Lookin' At You, Kid' A party thrown in anticipation of Jenny's film Lez Girls brings the gang face-to-face with the actresses who will play them. Shane and Alice get a little high on weed brownies and instigate a big, jovial Jackson 5 sing-along.
Season 5: Episode 8, 'Lay Down The Law' Alice testifies at Tasha's hearing for the military's investigation into her 'homosexual conduct.' Tasha professes her love for Alice publicly, then proudly kisses her on the base in front of her fellow soldiers.
Season 5: Episode 10, 'Lifecycle' Under the name 'Team Dana,' the group embarks on the Subaru Pink Ride breast cancer fundraiser. On the ride, we're treated to some goofy, endearing moments with everyone together—an increasingly rare phenomenon.
Why You Should Binge:
The women of The L Word are vibrant, dynamic characters that you'll grow to love. Even when the plot meanders and descends into a pit of borderline insulting implausibility, you'll still feel a deep fondness for Alice and Dana and Shane and Bette and Helena and Carmen and Papi and all the rest inside of that 'little lesbian Planet.'
Best Scene—Phone Call:
This legendary phone sequence from Season 4 finds many of the main characters at their best. Except for Jenny, who is almost always the worst. Also, take a moment to enjoy all those flip phones.
The Takeaway:
Sexuality is fluid and you should probably just go with the flow. Also: When in doubt, consult The Chart.
If You Liked The L Word You'll Love:
For an equally groundbreaking show, check out Queer as Folk. For more queer women, get to work on Orange is the New Black and Orphan Black.
