Real L Word: Season 1

Ilene Chaiken manages to hit another softball homerun with her spin-off series "The Real L Word"! The show has six main characters, and a smattering of regularly appearing friends/girlfriends/family. Each woman offers a unique insight to the lesbian scene in LA, and they all face personal triumphs and tribulations throughout the season. I feel like the women are relatable to anyone watching, regardless of the viewers' sexual orientation. Every woman is in a different place when it comes to her sexuality. Whether it be Rose, who seemingly doesn't care what other people think about her lifestyle choices (including but in exclusively her sexuality). Or, Tracy, who's trying to balance her own mother's insecurities about Tracy's sexuality and developing a relationship with her girlfriend. Each episode offers mini-vignettes that occasionally intersect on camera. There are a few things that have raised concerns about this show: the main issue appears to be the lack of diversity among the cast. However, two cast members, Nikki and Jill are engaged and spend the season planning their nuptials, and their both Jewish; and that doesn't make up for the lack of diversity, but there is some, to be fair. Hopefully, with a more expansive casting for additional seasons, viewers will have an opportunity to widen their scope. The series is worth the price and your time!

I'll just keep this review short, because I have a lot more to say about season 2 (and I'm writing that review right after this). This was a great reality show because it was multidimensional, classy, and intelligent. The reality characters (actress isn't the right word I guess) are varied in their personalities, goals in life, ect. And because of that, so were the situations in the show. It was refreshing to watch this since there really aren't any lesbian reality shows, and at least half of the reality shows on TV are complete trash. Bottom line, buy this and watch it. Can't say the same about season 2 though.

This review is one the second season reviews since I bought both at the same time from the same seller.I bought seasons 1 & 2 from DvdBargainBuy. Great seller. Both seasons arrived early together, brand new and in perfect condition. I checked to see if there were scratches on the discs & there were none on any of them. All discs were there, both seasons (disks, cases) were free of any defects. I'm extremely satisfied.

As a fan of The L word... I wanted to see how this show would compare and be, so I ordered the first season and absolutely loved it! So I had to order season 2 to keep on with the girls drama. Over all it was a great buy!

The Real L Word was an absolute joy to watch, and I liked that season 1 was very diverse between each of the couples. It shows how lesbians are just like anyone else, and it was just very interesting watching everyone during their everyday lives.I received my copy rather quickly, a few days before the expected date.

Just started watching, but I'm enjoying it so far!

I love reality TV and I love this series! As a lesbian I was so pleased to see a show that shows all different types of lives we live. I love this show and can't wait for season 3 to come!!!

I received the first season today. I am disappointed in the packaging! The bottom corner of the case is broken. As soon as I opened it I had to check the condition of the actual DVDs. They are fine, no scratches or anything of that sort. So I don't find the need to send it back as it would be a waste of time to do so.
