By The Bel: Lost Girl (Season 1)

I’m a late-comer to this series as I don’t have cable TV. However, I saw the first season DVD on the shelf and snaffled it up lickety split. Season one was made in 2010, and in total there are (or at least will be, come the end of this year) three seasons to date. I give you “Lost Girl.”

Here’s the intro monologue:

Life is hard when you don’t know who you are. It’s harder when you don’t know what you are. My love carries a death penalty. I was lost for years; searching while hiding; only to find that I belong to a world hidden from humans. I won’t hide anymore. I will live the life I choose.

Doesn’t that just suck you right in?

Bo, (Anna Silk) is a smokin’ hot succubus in her late 20’s. She’s recently discovered she has Fae heritage and refuses to choose between the dark side and the light. This frees her up to become the super sleuth for both sides and every supernatural creature in between.

Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) is the first human woman we see Bo save from becoming a sexual assault victim, and in return, Kenzi offers to be Bo’s sidekick, housemate, friend and confidant. It is also a comedy match made in heaven.

For some drool-worth sex appeal and plenty of friction Bo is in a love triangle. Dyson, don’t mistake him for a vacuum cleaner cause this werewolf does not suck, played by Kris Holden-Reid. Then there is Lauren, the light Fae’s human in-house doctor, played by Zoie Palmer.  These two deny being competitive for Bo’s affections, but the tension is there just waiting to snap.

The fae are known for their good looks and their love of political hijinks and this series, created by Michelle Lovretta, really amps it up to a whole other level. There is more than enough visual stimulation with some rather raunchy sex scenes and the special effects aren’t to be sneezed at either. Storylines are a little unpredictable, some are funny, some are sexy, and there is a couple of creepy ones thrown in for good measure.

If you love Laurell K Hamilton’s Merry Gentry Series, Erica Hayes’ Shadowfae Chronicles and The Hallows series by Kim Harrison, I really recommend you seek out this TV series.  Lost Girl carries an MA 15+ rating and if you’d like more information here is the IMDB site… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1429449/
