So sad…
I have the regret to annouce you that there will be only one more season of The L word. Yesterday night, Showtime declared that they will give to Ilene Chaiken a chance to finish the history with 8 more episodes. It will be the end of this wonderful TV-Show.
The L word has become part of American popular culture with its own social network site, a huge popularity in Second Life and products like books, perfume and jewelery.
It gave to American people a new vision of homosexuality, and gave the opportunity to many female to live their sexuality freely.
