DVD: The L Word Season 6

(Reviewed by Beau Jackson)

It’s the final season of The L Word and Jenny is dead...

In the first episode, after seeing her body carried out on a stretcher, we flash back 3 months to pick up where the last episode of season five left off. Shane chases after Jenny trying to apologise and talk about what happened but Jenny shuts her out and causes a divide in the group. Bette and Tina worry about Angelica, Alice and Tasha are in relationship limbo and Helena and Kit combine to create Hit club, all events of which lay the foundations of the episodes to come. Here's what you can look forward to:

-Jenny mellows and she and Shane kiss and make up
-Bette and Tina take new committed steps in their businesses and relationship
-Max gets some impossible news
-Helena and Kit run their club HIT
-Alice and Tasha’s love goes on the rocks with a third wheel

Old characters reappear and in the end you end up suspecting them all in turn of Jenny’s mysterious death in an episode infused with confusing police interrogations, suspicious actions and revelations at the party at which Jenny died.

But was it murder, an accident or suicide? The series aims to leave you questioning and making your own decisions about what happened and what will become of the L Word ladies. After all, your own imagination is often better than reality.

You should also check out the extras on disc 3, to discover what the cast thought of the death of Jenny and the relationship between her character and their own, and Ilene Chaiken’s thoughts behind the idea and inspiration for the L Word finale.

Season 6 is on sale from June 28, released by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
