This show is not instantly hooky, but I do plan to press on.
Lost Girl has topped my recommendations list at several sites since it first aired three years ago. As a matter of fact I tried the first ten minutes or so of the show a year back, but I was in a judgmental mood that day and dropped it because it had been billed as a show about a girl who suddenly realized she was a succubus. Well, in the first ten minutes of the show Bo kills a guy in an elevator (who had just slipped a drug into a girl’s drink and was planning to assault her), and she definitely knew what she was doing by sucking his life force.
Tonight I decided I should be more open minded and give the show a real chance. And she doesn’t know she’s a succubus (although really, the Internet could have told her that’s what it meant when she sucked the life force out of men while kissing them or during… well…). She also doesn’t know she’s a fae, or that there is a world of fae out there she has never imagined.
The show really needs a better write-up. 🙂
I watched two episodes tonight, and am willing to continue giving it a chance. I’ll let you know later if I made the right choice or not, but for now I wanted to weigh in on my initial feelings. At this point I see potential, but there is a lot that is remaining annoyingly unsaid. I would also love to have more background on the main character, Bo, to understand her better. (Not to mention her clepto sidekick, whose name I can’t even recall at the moment.) I think these deficiencies are getting between me and an immediate emotional investment. But like I said, I see potential and plan to give it a few more episodes.
Note: This show is not at all suitable for children or teens. It is for adult viewing only. (I mean relaly, it’s about a succubus. 🙂 )
