• The Hot Mess Express
    Oct 13 2021

    “Honestly, I’ve never liked a guy more in my life.” —Shane McCutcheon

    We’ve arrived at our destination: Lesbian Hell. Thanks for riding the Hot Mess Express with us this season of The L Word: Generation Q! Season 2 may have finally come to a close, but we’re still experiencing whiplash. Our dear L.A. lesbians are making some interesting choices: Bette is breaking up an almost-marriage, Shane can’t figure out the meaning of long-distance relationships, Alice can’t stop herself from snooping, Dani is in contempt of court and so much more. And of course, our roller coaster ride ends right at the edge of a cliff. Hang on tight! Xtra's senior editor Erica Lenti and managing producer Chelle Turingan host.

    “There she is: the lady of the hour.” —Shane McCutcheon

    Did you hear that?

  • Make It Rain
    Sep 21 2021

    “Us? We just hang out and stuff.” —Alice Pieszecki

    It’s a stormy night in L.A. What are our favourite fictional lesbians to do but make out in the rain? It’s Episode 7 ofThe L Word: Generation Q Season 2, and everyone seems to be hooking up: Bette stops crying at art long enough to get together with Pippa, Alice returns to old comforts, Shane and Tess make it happen and Sophie and Finley struggle to keep it in their pants. How could any of it possibly go wrong?! Xtra's senior editor Erica Lenti and managing producer Chelle Turingan host.

    “I ain't singing no damn karaoke song, okay? This voice is reserved for the shower” —Sophie Suarez

    To our patron saints Tegan and Sara: We are sorry. This week’s episode of The L Word: Generation Q was deeply chaotic, and yet our favourite L.A. lesbians still managed to find time to butcher a classic queer bop. At least we’ll always have “Love Shack.” Plus: Micah and Maribel miscommunicate, Dani and Gigi heat up and Alice and Tom get it on.

    Sep 1 2021

    “The world wasn’t ready for you when you got your first break.” —Bette Porter

    What do romantic movie nights, stalking artists, brand-new blazers and kitchen counter sex have in common? They’re all staples of Episode 4 ofThe L Word: Generation Q Season 2, of course!
