The L Word changes every season. The Jenny season with all the ridiculous "dream" sequences and poetry, was just.. outrageous. Seasons 4 and 5 picked up and were fun to watch again. Even though they focus on Jenny a lot still, she's not an emotional mess, she's just an outright manipulative lunatic. Those ladies need a villain, don't they?
Unfortunately the next season will only be eight episodes long - just long enough to wrap up the entire show for good.
