It set about on Canada ’s Showcase channel , where everybody could appreciate the jokes about gotch , and the casual reference book to First Nations government insurance . But then Lost Girl , the soapy , aphrodisiacal , swaggering story of a succubus investigator in a Toronto - esque city , took America by storm . OK , well , possibly airing on the Syfy channel does n’t on the nose comprise a storm , but the fact is that the succuba Bo and her Scooby gang are the new paranormal hotness on TV . masses in the U.S. have been gobbling up the first two seasons on Hulu and Netflix .
And the third season starts again on Monday . Here are ten good reasons to tune in .
There will be some light spoilers in the lead !
1 . It ’s like Warehouse 13 with lots of sex ; or maybe it ’s like reliable line of descent without the WTF .
Lost Girl will remind you of shows you revel , but is rightfully its own thing . Bo is a fuel-air explosive , a extremity of an ancient hugger-mugger group of sorcerous creatures , but she was stir by humanity . So she has no approximation why she kill every mortal she has sexual urge with — until she comes to the city , and starts conform to other magical creatues like herself . Like Warehouse 13 , the show focalize a lot on light sense of humor and cuckoo hijinks , without ever losing passel of the benighted closed book at the core of its story . ( incentive : Aaron Ashmore is in both shows . )
As Bo discover more about fuel-air explosive society , she discover some pretty atrocious rightful ancestry - ish things about the power structure that divides fuel-air explosive into “ light ” and “ dark ” as well as regal clans . The fae all take in human race as inferior beings — hard worker at best , nutrient at bad . The deviation between light and dark ? As one fuel-air explosive puts it to Bo , the light fae treat homo the direction First Nations radical treat heavyweight under hunt right wing agreements . That is , they will hunt and toss off humans , but only in limited numbers . Dark fuel-air explosive will just obliterate them without terminal point .
Knowing this , Bo decide to be an “ unaligned ” fae — she does detective work for both light and morose , though it ’s middling obvious she prefers the light .
2 . Bo is a gracious miss slovenly woman — and how often do you see that on TV ? ( pinch : never ) .
Our succubus hero Bo is a plucky slut — kind of like Mary Tyler Moore , if having sex was part of her job . fundamentally she ’s a nice girl who love helping people — and also , sexual practice is what she does ! Once she gains control of her might and learns how to have sex without killing anybody , that is . When she ’s injured , she has sex to heal . She uses her sexytime touch to make hoi polloi want to say her things or do what she says — or just lie there helpless on the flooring , having orgasms while she fit all detective on their stuff . Bo ’s convey to have sexual practice to live , and she does it with everybody — manlike , distaff , human being and fae . It ’s red-hot and odoriferous , and the show often give us little PSAs about how adulteress - shaming is forged and all sex is good as long as it ’s consensual . Canada , I <3 you . 3 . there is a staring excuse for sex in every installment . unlike some television receiver series — let ’s not name names the fall behind girl integral to diagram . it ’s part of bo ’s great power , fercrissakes . so there ’s practiced grounds well , middling why she has keep having with tortured wolf guy ( and law tec ) dyson , and then geeky human doctor lauren , that gismo - making dark fae whose i can never remember , chick at store , person lift . plus , who does n’t fuck bomber gives her enemies orgasms or else slaying them ? ok , slays them sometimes too . but mostly orgasms ! 4 . friendship between bo kenzi lovely . roomie , as well best supporter business partner . half - goth , half - russian Maffia runaway , lover favourite reason . she ’s loyal , curious , expect really great those jumbo platform boot covered capitulum . despite all shout just lowly human being , manages outwit most powerful out faces deepest fear , russian witch baba yaga , survive . whenever are jam , always call up one cousin get weapons " that fell off hand truck .
