Lips lips lips

Is anyone watching Lip Service? I need to talk about this show so bad. One episode and I'm already addicted. It's really really hot and more realistic than the average, I think. Did I mention hot? I care about them, can't help it.

 

I like this quote by Ruta, who plays one of the leads:

'I think the big difference between The L Word and Lip Service is that The L Word kind of tackles major lesbian issues, whereas this show is about three lesbians living in Glasgow and just their general lives. And obviously, it's not quite as glitzy as LA – they don't have the money. '

You're, like, determined to hook me up on series, eh? *watches the youtube link* *is dazzled*

YAY! Let me know what you think, alright?

I am! I think that quote huts on exactly what I liked about the first episode. It wasn't trying to be everything to every lesbian, just tell a good story about characters who happen to be female and queer.

Very true, I really like that about it. There hasn't been talk of children so far either, I'm holding my breath :)

A+ icon ;)

Oh god, that's a terrible thing to think about being crammed into such a not child friendly setting. *hides from the thought*

It's Janis and Maya from Flashforward, if you haven't seen it. Maya's a bit blink and you'll miss her, but Janis made an awesomely kickarse canonically lesbian FBI agent. \o/

Thanks for the reminder about Lip Service - I just watched the first episode & really liked it. Freddie is reminiscent of Shane from The L Word and I'm not sure she's very likeable, but the other characters are all engaging & the dialogue is good. It's such an improvement on The L Word, which I always found massively fake and elitist - especially given that it's actually filmed in the city I live in, where the queer scene isn't remotely like that. I wonder if a new femslash fandom will spring up around the show?

I hope it will! I love it, the second episode was so much better, even.

Freddie is reminiscent of Shane but I haven't seen much of The L World so I can't really compare (what a disaster this show was, wow, I had such high hopes too). I find Lip Service to be much more realistic & funnier.

I read on a blog somewhere that an LGBTQ audience isn't very hard to win over as it's desperate for anything, anything at all when straight people get so much they become blasé about it. I hope I'm not guilty of loving Lip Service because I'm craving any kind of relationship that's not heterosexual but I might, so here's your disclaimer :p

I love Cat and Sam together (Sam is the cop, she becomes important in episode 2) :)

Your icon is so yummy :)
