Product Description
Bo is a gorgeous renegade. An irresistible beauty. And a deadly succubus. For years, she had no idea what she was or why every new lover died in the throes of passion. She fled one corpse after another until a chance encounter with the puckish thief Kenzi exposed Bo s existence to the Fae. This ancient society of supernatural beings exists outside the realm of mere mortals. Within their world, there are only two sides: Light and Dark. Each member of the Fae must choose who they will serve. But not Bo. Driven to discover who she really is, Bo vows to live on her own terms even if it means existing in the abyss between darkness and light. With the help of the mischievous, but loyal, Kenzi, the handsome shapeshifter Dyson, and the beautiful human scientist Lauren, Bo will use her powers of seduction to unravel the riddle of her mysterious past.

A must have for those Sci-Fi/Fantasy lovers out there, especially those who once loved Buffy and Angel - two series Lost Girl is constantly compared to. It is, however, targeted to a more mature audience, given its sexual content. Bo (played brilliantly by Anna Silk) is a Succubus raised by humans that runs away from home once she drains her first boyfriend to death. Ten years later, she is found and targeted by the Fae when suspiciously leaving a body behind after protecting human sidekick Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) from a man at a local bar. Bo soon learns that the Fae are divided between Light and Dark and refuses to make a choice -- which is a parallel to Bo's own sexuality; a bisexual Succubus, constantly torn between two lovers: Light Fae detective Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) and human doctor Lauren (Zoie Palmer). The first season is about Bo's search for her true identity as we are introduced to the Fae world and its various secrets and ramifications.
The love triangle is one of the show's biggest draws, particularly because both lovers bring something different to the table: Dyson, the territorial alpha male, provides sexual healing - literally - in an electrifying friends with benefits relationship. Lauren, the fragile, geeky beta female, provides the human warmth and emotional connection/support Bo so desperately needs. The latter is particularly satisfying because Bo and Lauren's relationship isn't played for male titillation; it is straightforward, it is real and it resonates with the audience. Their chemistry is heart-wrenching and beautiful and fortunately, only a taste of what's to come in season 2.

On the grimy streets of Toronto, there are magical, ancient beings that humans are not even aware of.
And as a young succubus named Bo discovers, a life among them is a dangerous, weird one. "Lost Girl Season 1" is a brilliant premiere season for a very unique, sexy and gritty series, which imagines all mythical creatures as various breeds of fae -- and between the strong cast and witty writing, it's an absolute joy.
For years, Bo (Anna Silk) has drifted from city to city, sucking the life-force from people via sex/kisses. But after she rescues a young thief named Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) by killing an attempted rapist, she is captured by the Fae leaders, the Ash (light Fae) and the Morrigan (dark Fae). Since she has no idea who she is, they put her to an ancient test.
But Bo chooses neither the Light nor the Dark. She still gets some allies among the Fae, including werewolf cop Dyson (Kristen Holden-Ried), human doctor Lauren (Zoie Palmer) and the pleasant but mysterious bartender Trick (Rick Howland).
Because she belongs to neither side, Bo and Kenzi turn out to be perfect supernatural detectives: missing college girls, a jealous fury, missing treasure, a body-hopping Hsien, a fae-killing toxin, a crooked country club, a spider with a deadly power, a family feud, a string of supernatural suicides, and Dyson being accused of murder. And while she does this, Bo searches for her mysterious origins -- only to find that the truth is much worse than she could have imagined.
A show about the adventures of a beautiful young succubus sounds... well, like the premise for a porn movie, not a fantasy-noir series. But while it has some steaminess (sometimes played for laughs), "Lost Girl" is mainly about Bo solving various odd cases among the Fae, even as she searches for her family.
But it has a lot of deliciously funny moments, usually from Kenzi ("Best case scenario: I am a toe-sucking cannibal!") and there's a running love triangle between Bo, Lauren and Dyson. And the setting has a gritty, punky urban feel, with Bo and Kenzi living in a boarded-up "crack shack" and and dressing in lots of leather.
And the cast of this series is really superb -- Silk manages to be sensual without being cartoonish, especially since Bo is a genuinely nice person with deep-rooted morals. Holden-Ried is amazing as the hard-nosed cop who falls completely in love with her; and Howland is AWESOME -- half kindly bartender, half hidden power. The one actor I couldn't quite connect with was Palmer, who always has a weird half-smirk on her face.
But the star of the series is Ksenia Solo. She steals every scene she's in with her quirky, clever, sometimes light-fingered Kenzi, who manages to stay afloat in Fae society despite being human.
"Lost Girl Season 1" is one of the best urban-fantasy series of recent years -- gritty and magical, sexy and spooky. Just don't show it to the kids.

If you are a fan of the series by all means do NOT wait for it to come to Amazon's US web site. It will be available in region 1 format on Amazon's Canadian site (AMAZON.CA) on 4-24-12. It is 29.99 Canadian (minus the exchange rate to the US dollar), plus 10.00 shipping international. I will not go into the show itself because you will either like it, or hate it. It is on SYFY on Monday nights 10 PM and has drawn huge complaints from censor loving religious thumpers. I will say no more. Check it out yourself. and if you like True Blood, then you will appreciate this show as well. Be patient as it could take 2 weeks to arrive from the release date.
UPDATE: IF YOU LIKE THE SERIES GO TO AMAZON.CA IMMEDIATELY. MINE WAS SHIPPED OUT FROM CANADA ON MONDAY 4-23. IT ARRIVED ON WED 4-25 AND I DID NOT PAY FOR EXPEDIATED DELIVERY. IT IS REGION 1, AND MY WIFE AND I STARTED WATCHING WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK. THIS IS THE SAME SEASON BROADCASTING ON SYFY NOW. THE EXCHANGE RATE WENT DOWN AND IT ONLY COST $36.00 TOTAL.
If you like the series, this is how to get it now without any special universal equipment or waiting for a US distribution.
As of 6-5-2012, the price on AMAZON.CA dropped to $24.99 Canadian which is slightly less in US dollars. AMAZON.CA will convert all US $ to Canadian $. The people selling it here are actually buying it from Canada and jacking up the price. Save your $ and buy it from AMAZON's Canadian company.
