Great review! I agree with just about everything you have to say about the L-word, it's a really frustrating show but strangely addictive at the same time, I’ve still to watch the 6th season though. Word on the inconsistent characterisation, it was like the writers suffered some kind of collective amnesia at the beginning of each season.

I couldn't remember anything about CKR:s character except that I REALLY HATED HIM, but I guess it was effective from an acting standpoint?
