The simple lesbian guide to what to watch. : •Sarah Waters

Have you ever tried to find a guide to what lesbian movies and tv shows there is. Without getting any spoilers?

I dont like spoilers. I dont wanna know the plot and I dont read the backs of the movies before I watch them. But I do prefer to watch stuff with lesbian characters. Im very tired of the straight world so I kindof dont watch that kind of movies right now.

I try to keep it spoiler free. I might add a few personal opinions about it but not about the plot. The posters can contain spoilers, sorry about that but I do believe in pictures in blogs. The picture is a link to imdb so you can check out more about it yourself if you want to =)

I started a swedish blog on the same theme a few years ago. But I cant find any english sites either. So Im going to make one so more can take part of all the hunting Ive done for new stuff to watch. Enjoy =)

Ps. This page is all about women. I do never refer to males when I say gay.

About ratings

Rating:
I rate it between 0 and 5.

For a tv show with many seasons it can get high rates if only a few season really is gay. Otherwise Ill rate it about the same as movies.

Lesbian - How much of it is a lesbian storyline.
Its like 1 when it has a gay character but not a main one. 5 is when the whole movie is about the lesbian relationship.

Love - How much love is in the air.
1 could be when there is a single lesbian character without love interest. 5 is when they just cant stay away from each other.

Chemistry - Sometimes you can feel the tension. Sometimes its just not there. It could be because of the actors. Or because of the storylines.

Intimacy - Well, how close do they get. 1 is for looks and 5 is for passionate scenes.

Story - How well written is the story. 1 is for the relly tacky ones and 5 is for the well written witty ones.

Execution - How well is it done? 1 is when it feels homemade with bad acting and music. 5 is when the photo is wonderful and it all runs smooth and feels real.

Conclusion - my personal opinion of the movie/show and an overall picture over if it might be something you want to see even if it gets low scores on other subjects. There might be a lovely lesbian subtext in it or something =) Or it could have really high lesbian scores but the storyline and execution sucks. Sometimes its hard to tell without the conclusion rating.
