The L Word

The penultimate season of The L Word, Showtime's lesbian drama, veers, as they all have, between entertaining and infuriating with its sexy/silly mix of high drama and higher camp. Bette and Tina's long-awaited reunion   arrives and Jenny tones down the crazy (as much as she can) for the shoot of Lez Girls, while the   series' best secondary characters ever, Dawn Denbo (Elizabeth Keener) and her infamous lover Cindi (Alicia Leigh Willis), open a club to rival the ladies' longtime hangout, the Planet. Skip the   perfunctory EXTRAS  (a PSA, a music video) and just lap up the  lunacy. Exhibit A: lesbian Turkish oil wrestling!  B
