Lost Girl

Bo (Anna Silk) has lived a troubled life. She seems to suck the life out of anyone she kisses. She befriends petty thief Kenzi (Ksenia Solo). Then she discovers that she's a Succubus and there is a secret world of beings called The Fae. She is told to choose between Light and Dark Fae but she chooses to be unaligned. Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) is a light Wolf shapeshifter and a police detective. Hale (K.C. Collins) is a fellow detective and a Siren. Trick (Richard Howland) is the barkeep and so much more. Lauren (Zoie Palmer) is a human doctor and property of the Ash. The group is later joined by Valkyrie Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten).

At its best, the show is fun and sexy. That has a lot to do with Ksenia Solo. She's a terrific smart-mouthed sidekick. As long as her great lines keep coming, this is a wonderful show. Sadly, she does leave the show for long stretches. Rachel Skarsten tries to replace her with her own wackiness. The mythology of the show is fascinating until it gets too convoluted. This is a good group of characters and the show is quite good most of the time.

I hope people see it as a compliment. Buffy did change the landscape in so many ways, did open so many doors. Still this is its own show and has its own quirks and characters. But it also is way more adult than Buffy ever was. And while one of the major things in the show might seem like a teenage boys wet dream, it also is a showcase that women can be sexual and strong at the same time. It's almost odd to point that out, as I think this should be a no brainer, but especially in America females might have been portrayed either as cute or as strong. You can have both - yes you can.

Still while the show has "adult" situations (yes I mean intercourse, though it serves a healing purpose - well most of the time) and you could argue there is nudity, I don't think you'll be able to see nipples. I'm guessing network restrictions, but that does not matter, since the general steaminess still exists. There still is balance, this is not Sex and the City and the evil fairy tales. Though I guess you could do that argument.

Whatever you take from this, and there are a lot of fine things to take away from it, no pun intended, there are also major flaws or things you may not like. The tone is consistent and borderlines to silly. The amount of fun they must have had making this show - I think it translates well on screen. The drama and character development works most of the time, but there are also quite a few cliche holes this falls into. Depending on how much you care or not, this will play a part in your review and rating.

Overall a fine show, that may be predictable but is here to entertain you. And there is at least one moment where the show dares to challenge the viewer with one new season and you wondering: Did I miss something? But things get back to point and everyone being able to follow easily fast. Enjoy and don't overthink it

If you like shows like this, then you'll like Lost Girl.

• The 100
• Once Upon a Time
• Any superhero type show

**especially A.G.E.N.T.S of Shield & Legends of Tomorrow (they have some of the same mythological places & beings and people with special powers)

>> Still interested, then here's more About the show: It has good characters and they make a good and funny group of friends you would like to hang out with. They fight crime and fight against the dark has a good storyline that evolvolves and expands as story goes on. It's set in present day, but the "secret" Fea are all based in Norse, Greek & Roman mythology. Most main characters are a different kind of fea, like a wolf, a siren or a Valkyrie. There are good/light fea and bad/dark fea. > They all lead normal lives in public and knowledge of the fea's existence is kept secret and guarded from the general public. To help keep their secret, fea like Dyson/wolf and Hale/Siren are police detectives and help conceal any fea related deaths from being found out. When a girl Bo shows up they realize she is fea. She was adopted and she didn't know what was wrong with her. > With shows like this you have to be able to expand your range of thinking. Just like when you watch anything with super heros or vampires or alien/space type shows.

I really enjoyed it! Judging by some of the other reviews most of the posters do not get it. It's not True Blood or Buffy. It's more like the much lamented Dresden Files. With better looking actors!

I think the directors and writers are revealing just enough. Who wants another 'Lost'? I sure don't! I read one review where the poster said the two female actors should switch!? WRONG! Anna Silk exudes sexuality, she is totally believable as a succubus. We do not know enough about her characters past to judge the acting IMO. Physically Anna Silk is the right choice.

So please give it a chance! It's on Sunday! What else is there to watch?

I'm excited because this show is about to premiere in the US on SyFy so now I will have peers who have seen it as well. I've watched through into Season 2.

It's not Sopranos, Mad Men, The Good Wife or Six Feet Under, but it is a smart show in its own way. In fact, I prefer a show like this because it isn't a heavy drama. It's funny, campy, sexy (loads of sex be warned), shot beautifully, and has great women characters. Who knew Canadian shows could be so hot and sexy? I love a lot of Canadian shows, but I've never seen anything this steamy.

I hope people enjoy it. Push past the first episode, which might be a little so so, then get into it.
