The L Word

The L Word is one of my favorite TV shows. I am especially impressed with how it incorporates contemporary art. One of the characters, Bette, has had various high-level art-related jobs over the course of the series. She regularly mentions various artists, displays paintings, etc. These could have been various throwaway, obvious references like Andy Warhol. Instead the artists Bette mentions and the art displayed in the show is always perfectly spot-on for the plot or character point the show is trying to make. The L Word must have some kind of expert in-house contemporary art advisor. Excellent work, people!
