Season 1

It’s wildly entertaining, moving, funny, romantic and controversial. And, yes, it is also jam-packed with lesbian sex scenes. Find out for yourself why The L Word is one of Showtime’s most popular shows of all time.

Season One kicks off with the arrival of the notorious Jenny (Mia Kirshner) who moves in (with her boyfriend) next door to the happy lesbian couple, Bette and Tina (Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman). Leisha Hailey is the smart-ass bisexual writer, Alice; Erin Daniels plays closeted lesbian tennis star Dana; Karina Lombard is the bombshell Marina; and Katherine Moennig steals the show as Casanova hair-stylist, Shane. Pam Grier co-stars as Bette’s R&B singer sister.
