- Back in 2004, a series hit Showtime that would follow the lives of a group of lesbians that lived in Los Angeles. Six seasons later, that series is now coming to its end this Sunday night here in the United States. The series seemed to take on a life of its own, connecting people regardless of sexual orientation. The lives of this group of women with the occasional male influence thrown in somehow didn’t just speak to issues within the gay and lesbian community, but issues that faced many more individuals than those in the GLBT community.
  
  Mental illness, infidelity, love, passion, violence, drugs, breast cancer and yes even death. We have seen many of the characters go through real things that effect every man and woman alive today. With its honest portrayal of such events, the series won viewers, but the series has also had its share of problems over the years. Some seasons were better than others, and many have even questioned how the series is going out with its end. The last season has focused on Jenny Schecter and the moments leading up to her death. A three month period where we know she will be dead in the end.
  
  Jenny, as we know, has been the main focus of the series. It is her story this series has told as she lived with accepting her sexuality, and then moving on to find a love of her own. Season six has made that love her best friend Shane. The two ended season five with a fight, but by the second episode of the season, Jenny admitted her feelings for her best friend, the one woman that has not allowed herself to be caught by any one person for long. Jenny has had a lot to deal with over the last six seasons, and to see all the strength she had disappear as she finally dies is truly heartbreaking.
  
  I have been a fan since the beginning. My love for the show has had me branch out and make friends with others that also shared a love for the series, and because of that shared love I have made friends I know I will have for life. Thank you to The L Word for being something I know I will miss once the final credits roll later on tonight.
