Shane even envisions a future where the kid could have a huge queer family with five or six moms from their tight-knit friend group. In a sweet scene where Shane shampoos and cuts Dana’s hair, Alice observes and mulls over the possibility of seeing her potential pregnancy through so Bette and Tina can adopt the child. “Liberally” tackles all of the above and somehow manages to also beautifully present the beating heart of the show: the charming, lived-in friendships between its central characters.
F&M GENERATOR SERIES
This episode epitomizes everything that the original series does so well: balancing real-world drama with soapy twists, developing lived-in friendships, and finding a way to shoehorn in a celebrity cameo. The degree to which the show succeeded in this endeavor varies depending on who you ask. The task before the new showrunner and its younger ensemble was challenging: They had to reckon with the original’s extreme whiteness and rampant transphobia while also doing right by the fans who’ve watched (and rewatched and rewatched) the original series. The show went off the air in 2009 after a clunky and widely-hated sixth season ( even the show’s creator didn’t think highly of it), but just a few months ago it reemerged with a highly-anticipated spinoff known as The L Word: Generation Q. A mere mention of the show-or identification of oneself with one of the characters-can induce instant camaraderie or immediate eyerolls in pretty much every gay bar I’ve visited. Showtime’s groundbreaking series The L Word is loved and loathed (sometimes in equal measure) by queer women and other LGBT viewers. The series is streaming now on Netflix, Hulu, and Showtime Anytime.
