If the third season was marked by transitions, The L Word's fourth concerns growing up--or trying to, at any rate. Shane (Katherine Moennig) becomes her brother Shay's guardian, Bette (Jennifer Beals) and Tina (Laurel Holloman) stop fighting over their daughter Angelica, and Bette's new boss, Phyllis (a very game Cybill Shepherd), decides it's time to embrace her true nature. So, after 25 years of marriage (Bruce Davison plays her husband), Chancellor Kroll comes out of the closet--and sets her sights on Alice (Leisha Hailey). For all the inclusiveness, Max (Daniela Sea), still remains on the margins. Dumped by Jenny (Mia Kirshner) the year before, Max continues to share her apartment while acclimating to life as a man.
For those who felt season three was too dark, four offers a welcome corrective. There's still plenty of angst--Jenny's memoir meets with a few negative notices (Heather Matarazzo's journalist pens the harshest critique) and Helena (Rachel Shelley) learns to live without Mommy's money--but there are plenty of moving moments to compensate (most revolving around Shane and Shay). New additions also arrive to shake things up, like Marlee Matlin as an artist who helps Bette to broaden her horizons, Kristanna Loken as a single mother with a yen for Shane, and Rose Rollins as an Iraq War veteran with whom Alice has a tryst (leading to a well intentioned, if heavy-handed message about how even liberals should support the troops). As in seasons past, the directorial line-up impresses as much as the acting talent, and includes Oscar winner Marleen Gorris (Antonia's Line) and playwright Moisés Kaufman (The Laramie Project). Since creator Ilene Chaiken makes most special features, like deleted scenes, available online, this set offers few extras, other than biographies, a photo gallery, and episodes of The Tudors and Californication. --Kathleen C.

Rating: 
- Season 4 very funny
I think this season of the L Word was the funniest.Season 3 was sad and it was time for some uplifting stories and for the characters to relax and have fun.
Rating: - The L Word Rocks!
It may just be that I am a geek and feel like the girls on this show are my friends and family (or lovers - hehe), but I loved this season and I enjoy finding out what they are up to.Maybe a little outrageous with Jenny's crazy antics, but Hollywood has to make everything sensational to keep up ratings.Overall, I adored another season with the girls and I cannot wait to get the next season.

- To be completely honest..
The L Word is quite disrespectful to transgendEred.There are always little jokes that Jenny makes about Max (Gender identity is fluid and not important as much as living a good life..noble..)which are supposed to be funny.Daniela Sea is possibly the most feminine,high pitched voiced woman in the world and to see her play transgendered female into male (Let's get a sexy butch to play him..)Max is kind of funny.But the jokes aren't.
Rating: - Not as great as the other seasons. Still missing Dana... it was great seeing her "ghost" in one episode!
I find that the 4th season was not as good as the previous ones. I love all the characters but I did not like Shane moving on so quickly with Paige. She seem to be more the person that Carmen wanted but without Carmen.
Rating: - L Word season 4
