Advance Review: Lost Girl, Series Premiere – “It’s a Fae, Fae, Fae World”

Air Date: Monday, January 16, 2012 at 10/9c on Syfy

Rating ★★★★★★

Are you ready for a new breed of supernatural creatures to invade your living room? Or, should I say, bedroom? Syfy has acquired a scintillating series called Lost Girl, which has become a hit in its native Canada. After watching the series premiere and subsequent second episode, I am already addicted and want more! Since the show has been established in Canada, some viewers may already be familiar with the characters, but for those of us who are in the dark, “It’s a Fae, Fae, Fae World” introduces us to the world of the Fae and invites us into another realm that coexists with the human world.

Anna Silk as Bo in LOST GIRL

Lost Girl is about a young woman named Bo, played by the beautiful Anna Silk (who I’m totally girl-crushing on at the moment). Bo is a tall, dark haired, sexy loner with a killer kiss. She doesn’t know it yet, but she is part of an ancient race of supernatural beings known as the Fae.  She is a Succubus who feeds off sexual energy. To give you more background, Bo has been on the run for over 10 years. After leaving her life in the Midwest at 18, she’s been basically feeding and fleeing for a long time. That is, until she meets wise-cracking, street savvy Kenzi (Ksenia Solo), a low-level criminal with a penchant for jacking wallets from unsuspecting victims. When Kenzi makes the mistake of taking a drink from a stranger in a hotel bar, she gets a little more than a buzz from the drugged cocktail. Fortunately, Bo works as a bartender and witnesses the event, therefore saving Kenzi before the creepy guy (Grahame Wood) has a chance to inflict further harm.  

 

I’m over the moon about this new series! It is right up my alley in regards to the fantasy world of the supernatural that gives us a new genus and species to explore. The Fae have become popular these days, with many books such as the “The Fever Series/A MacKayla Lane Novels” featuring a bevy of Light and Dark Fae, both beautiful and hideous. If I haven’t mentioned it before, Syfy is truly one of my all-time favorite channels! I love that the network is bringing so many fantastic shows to light (e.g.,Being Human). What makes Lost Girl so unabashedly appealing to me is how Bo is portrayed as pansexual. Bo chooses whoever is willing to fall under her spell; both males and females beware because one long kiss from Bo is deadly! But hey, at least you’ll die with a smile on your face. Small consolation, I know.

L-R: Zoie Palmer as Lauren and Anna Silk as Bo in LOST GIRL

Lost Girl is sexy, engaging, funny, and absolutely entertaining; with fresh characters we don’t see much of on television. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a huge fan of my vampires, werewolves, and paranormal entities, but something about the Fae has me spellbound! Perhaps it’s Bo’s seductive ways and how she seems to capture the attention of everyone, male and female alike. Or could it be the hunky detective Dyson (Kris Holden-Reid), also a Fae, who’s piqued my interest? Dyson is some sort of shape shifter, but it’s not clear what species of Fae he is, though it’s clear is he’s got a soft spot for Bo.

After Dyson and his partner Hale (K.C. Collins) discover Bo’s true nature, they must take her to see their leader, The Ash (Clé Bennett). Bo is forced into an ancient Fae ritual to prove she is worthy but in the end she must choose between the Light or Dark Fae. After growing up with human parents, Bo is just learning about her true nature but doesn’t seem ready to accept what’s being thrust upon her. With a tempting offer from the Light Fae’s human doctor, Lauren (Zoie Palmer), in regards to helping Bo curb her insatiable appetite, Bo has a lot of choices in front of her. Not to mention, Lauren also seems to fancy Bo and there is The Morrigan (guest star Emmanuelle Vaugier), leader of the Dark Fae, offering up Fae dental benefits as the coup de grâce. But as obvious as The Morrigan’s intentions are, I am also suspicious about Lauren. Despite her good work with the Light Fae, I feel like she’s hiding something. How is it that she came to know about the Fae? Was she recruited or did she seek them out?  

Funny and sexy scene between Dyson and Bo before she enters the Fae “thunderdome”:

Bo: “So, what exactly am I in here for, huh? Big bad nasties, the Lochness monster?”

Dyson: “Under Fae.”

Bo: “Under what now?”

Dyson: “Under Fae – those of our kind that don’t exactly fit in the human world; very old – very dangerous. You’ll face two.”

Bo: “Well, what are my chances?”

Dyson: “I wouldn’t bet on you.”

Bo: “Have I spit in your coffee or something!? What is your deal!?”

Dyson: “Kiss me.”

Bo: “Wow! Are you bad at reading women!”

Dyson: “We don’t have time for this; you need all of the strength you can get so take some of mine.”

Bo: “Will I kill you?”

Dyson: “Just kiss me.”

Ahem…the kiss is beyond steamy!

Bo: “Ooh, ooh, WOW! Did you…did you feel that! That was like…that was like the Fourth of July in my mouth! (pause) Hey, you stopped me. No one’s ever stopped me before!”

Dyson: “Fae are different than humans. Your powers don’t work the same on all of us.”

Bo: “Well, how am I supposed to beat these guys?”

Dyson: “You be faster; you be smarter. They’re gonna underestimate you – use that to your advantage.”

Bo: “I misjudged you. You got any other advice?”

Dyson: “Don’t get dead.”

Bo: “And you’re back to being an asshole, that’s nice!”

 

Lost Girl Cast

I love the puzzled look on Bo’s face when Dyson blurts out “Kiss me,” and how incredulous she looks after he tells her, “Don’t get dead.” Will Dyson be able to contain his newfound interest in Bo or will he succumb to her feminine wiles as easily as a human? How will Bo fare against two mythical Fae creatures having no experience whatsoever? Will she choose Light or Dark Fae or continue to straddle (pun intended) the line between both?

 

 

Lost Girl is a colorful mix of supernatural drama, light and dark comedy, with a lot of sex appeal to spice up your Monday nights!

Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.
