The L Word was undoubtedly a vital show. It remains enormously important to lots of people as it marked a welcome shift in a post Queer as Folk media landscape, with its unapologetic and explicit focus on female sexuality, same-sex desire and lesbian characters. The show did many important things, including talking openly about women's sexuality, challenging heteronormative relationship constructs and addressing political issues of its time, such as the U.S. military’s ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy.

However, a recent re-watch of the show in anticipation of a reboot did raise some issues around the handling of bisexuality and trans experience. In this piece I revisit and expand upon some thoughts I touched on an earlier piece What About the 'B' Word? about bivisibility in mainstream television.

I feel like I've been waiting years for my first glimpse of Looking: The Movie, the film which picks up where the HBO series finished off, following its cancellation at the end of its second season in March 2015.  For those who are unfamiliar with the show, Looking focused on the lives and loves of a group of gay men living in San Francisco. Jonathan Groff's character, Patrick, is the focal point of the show and Groff has previously stated in interviews that the show was an exploration of male intimacy - from casual sex to love to friendship and everything in between.
