>> 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.
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.
Another thing or two that I like about the writing and direction is that there is not a lot of time spent on the strength of one gender over another. Although there is a heroine she is supported by the ensemble in a way that gives everyone a place of importance in the goals of the team. Also, I can always root for a hero/heroine who sees the pride of privilege and wants to help the underdog without expectations. It's a side we are all capable of and I like to see it portrayed as a reminder of what we can do for each other when we look outside ourselves. There's not always a clear line of what is good and what is evil so it challenges us to decide where the line is where we say no.
So, there are things that might take you a little leap of faith or investing in more than a couple of episodes to tie into the characters. Yeah, like many of our favorite shows you have to invest in a few maybe several episodes before you feel a connection but it's a small investment and you may like the returns.
Now we have Lost Girl.
I won't say this show will be enjoyed by everyone, but any sane person will at least acknowledge it is worthwhile.
Decent acting shows through a veil of light camp as characters develop personally and with each other. This development is rushed at times, but the point seems to be allow for the audience to quickly absorb as much info as they can on a world with a decidedly massive mythos. Understandably, some may find this up-tempo plotting to be counter- immersive, but there is no accounting for personal preference.
Some may be turned away by the sexual energy which charges this show. That being said, the sexuality inherent in the atmosphere is never gratuitous and always essential to the product as a whole.
Finally, it must be said that the possibilities for future plot lines are nearly endless, considering the vast amount of folklore this show can draw inspiration from. Not to mention the possibilities of political intrigue between the two major factions in the show.
I've tried to be as vague as possible in describing the show, as that is what the summary is for. All I seek to do is shine a little light on a prime product that, with all the other great shows on TV, some folks might miss or simply pass up. Trust me, you owe it to yourself to give this a try, even if it's just to see if you like it.
