"The L Word" is a soap opera, and maybe not even a particularly good one at that. But it's also essential viewing for queer women.

— Cameron Esposito is an actor, comedian, and producer.

— Sarah Shahi, Erin Daniels, and Mia Kirshner played Carmen, Dana, and Jenny on The L Word. Ilene Chaiken was the show's co-creator and executive producer.

Special thanks to Cassie Sercia and Autostraddle's Riese Bernard.

Episode scoring by Jeremy Bloom with additional music by Kai Engel ("Seeker") and Lawrence Grey ("The St Marks Shake"). Theme by Alexander Overington.
