Now, the show is back with its highly awaited sequel ''The L Word: Generation Q', and this one, promises to be more progressive than its original series.
The opening scene itself created an impact and put a stamp on the fact that the show is here to break sexual taboos and is unlike other television shows that air currently. Within its first 30 seconds, it showed two women having sex, while one of them is on their period. With deep-seated taboos around menstrual impurity, let alone period sex,The L Word: Generation Q attempts at dismantling the stigma around period sex. The opening scene shows Dani Nunez (Arienne Mandi) and Sophie Suarez (Rosanny Zayas) engaging in cunnillingus while the latter is on her period. If this is just the beginning, we can't wait to see what other topics they touch and portray on screen.
