The ensemble of “L Word: Generation Q” is back for another season, and this time the sapphic circle of friends is tackling all things matrimonial.
But not all is wedded bliss for the often unlucky-in-love cast. The audience is treated to existential crisis after crisis, as characters weigh commitment against the perks of single life — whether they like it or not. And right out of the gate, there’s an homage to “The Graduate” that sets the stage for the many romantic implosions, and never-ending fallouts, to come.
Bette and Tina’s daughter, Angie , emerges as one of the new season’s scene-stealers in an expanded storyline looking into the identity of her biological father. Newcomer Hull is a star in the making, a fresh face whose acting has a mature edge. Hull lends an air of reality to scenes that often skew melodramatic, especially when playing opposite the gaggle of veterans who act as her ever-present fictional extended family.
Couple Sophie and Dani , whose relationship never seems to be off the rocks, find themselves in more than one love-triangle — again. Finley continues to play the charming troublemaker. And Shane , fresh off a divorce, will always be Shane: magnetic, self-indulgent and still cutting the black, precisely tailored, androgynous silhouette that defined her in the original series.
Micah’s sexual awakening in the first season remains one of the more progressive threads of the “Q” reboot, bringing the show up to speed on current expressions of gender and sexuality. But whether Micah will be given the airtime to bring “L Word” into the 2020s remains to be seen. If not, the show runs the risk of merely checking boxes when it comes to identity politics, in a transparent bid to attract a new generation of viewers.
