I'm a huge Tibette fan!! I never seen any other actors/actresses who have the best chemistry on screen, like JB and LuH. So after all the drama, the heartache, FINALLY my favorite coupLe in the show are BACK TOGETHER! And hope this time it'll stick! Lots of Laughter this season which I Love! and much more Tibette's Love this season as well! I can't wait to own this DVD! Most importantly, can't wait for the new season, which sadly would be the Last one. I don't know what I'd do when the show ended, although there will be a spin-off, but still don't know which character. Love the L word! :)
Incredible Season!!! 4 out of 5 stars.

The Fifth season of The L Word is a must have for every fans of the show. Yes, Bette and Tina are back together and that is by far the greatest plot of season 5. I just hope that they will be together at the end of season 6....It's a great season. Alice, Tasha, Kit, Shane, Helena, Jodi, Phyllis, Max and of course Jenny are all back. However Papi and Angus are not (Papi will be back in season 6). I give it 4 stars, because i think that season 4 was better.

Dexter's second season had a tough act to follow after the first season. But this Dexter season had new ups and downs from the funny to the sinister side of Dexter. Great 2nd season.

"The Tudors", Season Two
The Story Continues
Amos Lassen
Season 2 of the historical mini-series, "The Tudors" as absolutely amazing. Everything about the program is glorious from the three dimensional larger-than-life characters to the scenery and costumes and the wonderful acting. If you liked season one, you will love season two. Season two focuses on the politics of the reign of Henry VIII and the end of Anne Boleyn. One of the outstanding differences between the two seasons is that season two clears up the historical inaccuracies that were obvious in season one.
We begin with Henry telling Anne that he will marry her and she will become the Queen of England. With the downfall of Sir Thomas More, the way is cleared for Henry's plan but Anne begins to realize that she will never sit on the throne as long as Katherine of Aragon remains alive. As Katherine slips into death, Anne discovers that she is pregnant. However when she gives birth to a daughter, her days are numbered and she becomes known as Anne of the Thousand Days. As her death becomes reality, we all realize how much she will be missed and Natalie Dormer gives a realistic and sensitive portrayal of Anne.
Johnathan Rhys Meyers as Henry and Jeremy Northam also give admirable performances in this gorgeous series.

It's not often that we, the viewing audience, are asked to root for a serial killer to get away with murder. But we are. And we do! There is palpable tension in every episode that genuinely made me nervous for the plight of our anti-hero. Our anti-hero is a blood spatter analyst for the forensics department and is clinically and then personally drawn into the progression of murders that happens by another serial killer.
I think even more interesting than the plot, which is methodical, coherent, a bit scary, and quite entertaining, the characters themselves are very intriguing. Dexter is obviously broken and doing his best to fake being a human being with otherwise normal behaviors and reactions. But his attempt at a relationship with his girlfriend Rita gives the indication that perhaps Dexter is redeemable...
No matter what, at the conclusion of the first season, you will want to buy the second season and see what is in store for Dexter. This is some of the finest television ever made.
Technical notes:
- The cinematography is beautiful.
- The dialogue is amusing where it needs to be, somber elsewhere, and
while at times stilted, is quite effective.
- The music is perfect for the settings.
- The introduction sequence may disturb some people while making others
quite hungry. I am of the hungry persuasion.

changes my mind. Such is The Tudors, a wonderful period piece & so much more. Each episode is movie production quality. Everything we know & don't know is dramatically interpereted by an excellent cast. History? Yes. Good history? Well, it is sexy & profane drama based on historical facts. I am not so brillant as some of the reviewers here that seem to know what exactly happened over 500 years ago. It is the early years of Henry's reign & he is attempting to populate the kingdom single-handedly. He seems to copulate with every woman in court. Except, of course, his wife, Catherine, who vexes him & refuses to give him a divorce & Anne who will not sleep with him until she is queen. Political alliance with the continential powers are very fluid. Spain, France The Austrian Empire, the Pope are all players as allies enemies & allies once again. Personal intrique gives The Tudors a slightly soap opera odor as characters form alliances to settle scores. I'm a little late to this series but am really looking forward to the second season.

Warning: Comedy, Sex, drugs, bad language OH MY!!! 4 out of 5 stars.

Californication is a wild, funny, and an enteraining show about Hank Moody a washed-up writer from NY who moved to LA to make it big. It didn't work out that well and as a result he cannot write!
Hank drinks and womanizes while trying to win back his ex while raising his 12-year-old daughter. He is also being blackmailed from the ex's boyfriend's daughter.
WARNING: There is a lot of fornication is almost every episode and a lot of swearing that probably isn't necessary. You can make a great show without showing every sex scene and saying the F word in every other sentence in which it gets annoying after a while but don't let that stop you from checking out this show.
To Duchovny fans you will see the softer side in Hank's character as he has shown in The X-files and Return to Me in which makes him attractive.
The relationship with his daughter and his ex that is sweet. There is a connection there that no one can describe unless you have had experienced both. This is what keeps me tuning into this show. I will definitely check out the season 2 when it comes out on DVD!

Editorial Review:
Weeds: Season Three continues the dark line of comedy that emerged in the previous season for this Showtime series. The story picks up exactly where it left off, with Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) faced with a half-dozen guns pointing at her in her own kitchen, while an Armenian gang and Nancy's buyer, U-Turn (Page Kennedy), both demand she turn over her entire stash of marijuana (worth several hundred thousand dollars). Problem is, the pot is in the trunk of on-again, off-again friend Celia (Elizabeth Perkins), whose car has been stolen by Nancy's oldest son, Silas (Hunter Parrish). Silas wants in on mom's business, but his timing couldn't be worse as Celia and a police officer show up to reclaim the car while Nancy is still at gunpoint. The fallout from all this is that Nancy ends up working for U-Turn to repay her debt to him, a dangerous relationship that sends Nancy down a rabbit hole of underworld threats and violence. Meanwhile, Celia gets booted out of her home by her husband and becomes estranged from her young daughter, Isabelle (Allie Grant), who insists she's a lesbian. Celia rebounds a bit when a corrupt developer (Matthew Modine) gives her a house in exchange for her support on city council for one of his schemes. That goes wrong, too, when Celia allows Nancy, Doug (Kevin Nealon), and Conrad (Romany Malco), all of whom go into business after U-Turn stops being a problem, to put their endangered trove of marijuana plants in her house. Nancy's other son, Shane (Alexander Gould), claims he can see and talk to the ghost of Nancy's late husband, and Nancy's brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) goes AWOL from the U.S. Army after his comrade is deliberately killed in an experimental missile test. As always, it's one thing after another on Weeds, and the blend of humor and suspense is uniquely compelling. Parker and the rest of the cast pull off some pretty surreal situations with great credibility. The show's lead star, particularly, can carry moments of blended terror and comedy: one of the season's most memorable moments finds Nancy forced to put on a sexy dance for a group of drug dealers in order to pick up a package U-Turn requires. The scene is humiliating, frightening, sexy, and comical all at once. Few actresses could have pulled it off, but Parker does. --Tom Keogh

Showtime's Irish answer to The Sopranos; Brotherhood manages to get better and better with each passing episode, and the second season is no different. Picking up a while after the first season concluded, season two begins with the Caffee family picking up the pieces. Michael (Jason Isaacs) is recovering from the brutal beating he took at last season's finale, and coping with the unexpected mental side effects to boot, all the while still trying to stay in the semi-good graces of crime boss Freddie Cork (Kevin Chapman). His politician brother Tommy (Jason Clarke) continues the campaign trail, and is drawn further and further away from his wife Eileen (Annabeth Gish) after learning of her infidelities. Things get even more complicated for the Caffee's when their estranged Irish cousin Colin (Brian F. O'Byrne) returns to The Hill to reconnect with the family, much to the chagrin of Michael and Tommy's mother Rose (the excellent Fionnula Flanagan). Also in this season, we witness the descent of cop Declan (Ethan Embry) whose life continues to spiral out of control. While there isn't anything on Brotherhood that hasn't been seen before, it still manages to provide plenty of entertainment for fans of gangster crime-dramas and back-office politics. Not to mention that by the time the season concludes, you'll be salivating for more. All in all, Brotherhood still manages to get better and better with each passing episode, and here's hoping that the best is yet to come.

Season One
With its fantastic comedy series Weeds, cable network Showtime finally gave up its also-ran status to HBO and found itself with a controversial, buzz-worthy show that was as hilarious as it was dark, one about a truly desperate housewife. A recent widow with two growing sons, Nancy Botwin (Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker) looks like a typical resident of the affluent Southern California suburb of Agrestic. She keeps a clean, upscale house (with the help of a live-in maid), attends PTA meetings, goes to her kids' soccer games, makes frequent stops at the local coffee franchise.... and sells marijuana in order to make it all possible. Left with no way to support herself after her beloved husband's fatal heart attack, Nancy turns herself into the "suburban baroness of bud," dealing to her neighbors in the area, with the help of her supplier Heylia (Tonye Patano) and point man Conrad (Romany Malco). Nancy's clients run from the local councilman (Kevin Nealon) to the just-barely-legal students at the local community college, but many in Agrestic are still in the dark as to how she keeps her family afloat, including her best friend, the sardonic Celia (Elizabeth Perkins), a wife and mother whose blistering, withering put-downs could make Dorothy Parker cringe in fear. But like many small-business owners, Nancy yearns for more success and cash, and like her workaholic neighbors, finds keeping a balance between work life and home life to be extremely precarious at best.While Desperate Housewives yearned to be a suburban satire with bite, Weeds was the real deal, skewering upper-middle class mores with a sharp eye, a keen wit, and a mostly forgiving heart. In episode after episode, the show's creative team (led by creator Jenji Kohan) pulled back the layers of Agrestic's superficiality to show what lies beneath the squeaky-clean exteriors and smiling faces; it turns out that hunger, fear, desire, and, yes, desperation aren't that far down. However, Weeds forsakes pulpiness and florid drama for biting yet affectionate humor--its heroine is a woman with sliding morals, but one you'll root for to the very end. The effervescent Parker, the only actress who can mix perkiness with morbidity in just the right amounts, anchored the show with her amazing turn as Nancy, who by the end of the first season had become a kind of soccer-mom version of Michael Corleone, entering a corrupt world with both trepidation and fascination--and totally enamored of the power it brought her. Also perfectly cast, Perkins found the role of a lifetime as the bitterly hilarious Celia, and entering the show in its fourth episode, Justin Kirk (Parker's co-star in Angels in America) proved to be a potent secret weapon as Nancy's brother-in-law Andy, a slacker who wasn't above peddling t-shirts to elementary school kids. As icky as these characters might appear on the surface, Weeds made them all immensely appealing and great company to be around. Don't say we didn't warn you: one hit and you'll be hooked on this show. The DVDs feature six episode commentaries with cast and crew, outtakes, original featurettes, a music video, and most enjoyably, Agrestic Herbal Recipes (for entertainment value only, we assume) and the "Smoke and Mirrors" marijuana mockumentary. --Mark Englehart
Season Two
The first season of Weeds ended with a shocker: Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) found a dreamy new boyfriend, but he turned out to be a DEA agent (Martin Donovan). Luckily, she manages to find some pretty creative ways to "deal" with it. Despite that new obstacle, she decides it's also time to "grow" the business to higher levels, and all these risky moves lead up to another fabulous season finale cliff-hanger. Elsewhere in suburban utopia, comic relieving brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) tries to dodge his army commitments by joining Rabbi school, while the hilarious Doug (Kevin Nealon) battles it out with Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) to maintain power over the Agrestic City Council. Plot aside, Season 2 of Weeds took this potentially great show to the next level. No matter how hard they tried in the first season, the show's makers had a heck of a time trying to shake the impression that they were mimicking the edginess of HBO's original programming. (Some might have gone as far as to say they were trying a little too hard.) This time around, the characters and the story have grown into their own skins, and they offer something much more authentic and convincing. The second season also starts a great new tradition: Malvina Reynolds `s "Little Boxes" is still the opening theme song, but it is performed by a different artist for each episode (from Elvis Costello to The Shins). Just one more thing to keep us "addicted." --Jordan ThompsonBeyond Weeds

Brotherhood is was of the best television shows that has come out recently. I was a big fan of the Sopranos and they are not alike. Jason Clark and Anna Beth Gish are fantastic as the troubled wife and ambitious politician. Jason Isaacs however is brilliant in his part. People need to understand that they are developing his character. This is only the first season and he is working his way up the food chain. People critisize this show because Jason Isaacs part is not tough enough and should already have taken over, but give it time. This is street crime at its best. The Italian mafia is its own thing, and Soprano pretty much started out on top. Here we get to watch the lead evil brother develope. On the other had we also get to see the good politian brother show that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Although he believes he is righteous, we can see throughout the season he also is devoloping into his ouw monster. This show is outstanding and i hope the second season delivers.
Editorial Review:
A working-class Irish family is torn between right and wrong when two brothers live out their destinies on opposite sides of the law. BROTHERHOOD tells the story of two brothers who sometimes share a twisted sense of moral compromise--each with his own skewed idealistic vision of what makes the American dream.
