Characters & Plot Summary of Episode 1
Bo (Anna Silk)has grown up believing that she’s an “unwilling” serial killer. After all, she has the uncontrollable tendency to drain the life out of people either through kissing or sex. What she can control though is her ability to seduce people with a single touch, hence getting whatever she needs.
When she kills a potential rapist and saves a young girl named Kenzi (Ksenia Solo), her abilities are exposed. She wants to leave town like she always does but Kenzi wants to stick with her. After all, you can hardly beat a friend who has abilities like that…
What Bo doesn’t know is that she is not a human but a succubus- a supernatural being that feeds off human energy. She also doesn’t know that there is whole different world called the Fae, consisting of different creatures – shapeshifters, demons and others included.
Most of the Fae live among humans, disguising their Fae nature. They work at normal human jobs and use their resources to Fae benefits. Such to Fae are Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried )and Hale ( K.C. Collins) . The Fae have divided into two major groups: light and dark. Dyson & belong to the Light Fae, working as cops. That’s how they discover the existence of Bo.
They abduct Kensi and let her know about the rules, and why she needs to choose between sides. The dark side wouldn’t mind killing her, but the Light Fae insists she is tested- the old way. Meaning: she has to fight to the death with two powerful demons. Knowing Bo’s powers, Dyson transfers some of his strength to her through a kiss.
Of course Bo survives. However she is too stubborn and independent to join either side. But because she was powerful enough to beat two strong creatures on her own, the Fae World’s bartender – Light Fae, Trick (Richard Howland) advises they observe her and not kill her.
Dyson lets Kenzi and Bo go, telling them they can call him whenever they need help.

From then on, Kenzi sets up a detective agency so that they can make money the legal way through Bo’s power. Kenzi & Dyson help Bo control her hunger. Bo also gets assistance from the human doctor Lauren (Zoie Palmer), who is working with the Light Fae. Enchanted by Bo’s beauty, Lauren also medicates her to control her hunger. The side-effect however is that it diminishes her ability to heal on the spot. But Bo knows that having sex with Dyson will be the fastest way & most fun way to restore her health so the she doesn’t mind the side effect.
Of course Dyson is her first and probably only real Fae friend & ally and the growing connection as well as attraction will make it hard for their relationship to be just physical. Throw in Trick’s objections, as well as Lauren’s interest in Bo and Bo’s life had never been more complicated.

Verdict: LOVE IT!
Lost Girl is a fun & refreshing little gem for all supernatural TV series. It is a good show without any leading vampire characters. It is also refreshing that it hasn’t really limited itself with PG-13 or R-rated scenes. Sometimes there is much blood and gore, and sometimes not so much. And the sex scenes are a cross between The Vampire Diaries and True Blood, both nudity& intensitywise.
Sure, not all the Fae characters are as easy on the eye. And the Fae creatures can be as ugly as the demons from Buffy the Vampire Slayer but they fit in with the concept.
The show is entertaining on all grounds: it is mysterious, sexy, romantic and funny all at the same time.
Season 1 has 13 episodes and season 2 is due back in September, 2011.
Oh, and the soundtrack is to die for!
- Fun note: Bo is bi-sexual and bi-Fae. Guess what happens when Dyson keeps an emotional distance?
Fun Spoilers – don’t worry they are minor!
– The first kiss between Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) & Bo (Anna Silk) happens in episode 1.
– The first time Dyson and Bo have sex is at the end of episode 2.
– Dyson is a shapeshifter: he can turn into a wolf at will. He shows this to Kenzi in episode 2, but we already figure out in episode 1 – the teeth he shows during fighting was a big clue;)
– Hottest sex scene between Dyson and Bo: Episode 8, the very first scene.
