How many seasons of The L Word are there?

Should The L Word be watched before Generation Q?

Generation Q introduces new leads, so it can be followed independently, but it continues the lives of Bette, Alice, and Shane. Watching the original first gives important context for their relationships, Bette and Tina's daughter Angie, and the group's long history.

Where is The L Word set?

The story follows a network of lesbian and bisexual women in Los Angeles, with West Hollywood serving as a central social setting. The Planet, initially run by Marina Ferrer and later connected to Kit Porter, becomes the group's recurring cafe and meeting place.
