Showtime’s latest oversexed drama is about lesbians–the jock, the rocker, the couple, the closet case–in every shape imaginable, as long as they’re gorgeous and willing to take their tops off. A few years ago, this might have been daring, especially when the one straight woman gives in to her bi side within an hour.
