"Lost Girl" on SyFy. Anybody seen this show about a succubus?

[NewJeffCT]

Interesting idea - it started this past Monday night on SyFy - about a woman that finds out she is a succubus (a fae creature on the show) and must choose between two types of Fae - the dark and the light - who seem to be hidden amongst us in modern society.

Anybody else seen the show? I saw "succubus" listed on the info, so I DVR'd it and watched it last night. I think it's on Mondays on SyFy - rated TV MA for nudity, sexual situations and violence.

They have the typical D&D succubus powers - draining life with a kiss and also being able to charm others as well. No wings or horns, though.

Anna Silk plays the woman who finds out she is a succubus. The always sexy Emmanuelle Vaugier plays the leader of the dark Fae.

I've seen the first couple of seasons on Space in Canada.

Interesting premise and starting situation. Generally decent characterisations except for the dark fae. A bit of a lost opportunity with the light/dark political intrigue.

You see a lot of different fae-type creatures appear in the series including selkies, a sort-of dryad, but they're pretty much single-use throw-away plot devices so far.

Yep- I'm looking to see how things go.

It's got a succubus in it, it's worth watching just for that.

I'm actually surprised they have a TV-MA show on SyFy.

I saw the pilot and wasn't all that impressed. It had a sort of "Grimm" feel to it; fairly two-dimensional and the writer felt the need to explain everything, leaving nothing for the viewer to wonder about.

Now well into its second season on Space, it's something I enjoy every week, though it's not must-see.

The TV-MA rating is overkill: there are maybe 3 episodes so far that push boundaries a bit, but otherwise it's tame.

What day/time is it on Space? I get the channel, as I'm in Canada but I've never heard of the show.

Um, apparently I can't keep channels straight anymore. It's on Showcase not Space.

I blame my PVR. The whole "Tell it once then watch recordings" is weakening my grip on the channel-verse.

I watch it. Humorous supernatural show. Sidekick girl remains me of another sidekick girl of another similar but more serious show, forget the name but that was really angsty show.

I don't think Anna Silk fits that role very well. Some probably like her, but I don't feel she is that sexy to be succubus. I have kinda got used to her, but show is not so good. So-so, ok if you like teeny shows but want something bit more "intelligent and ironic" than vampire chronicles and other really teeny-teeny shows.

Plot of a day kinda dark-light fairy cold war detective show with some story-ach, but that moves really slowly.

I feel much better story could have been made with that type of world-idea and this one kinda feels pretty lama.

Watchable, funny, silly, not memorable. Somewhat entertaining IMO. Nothing I am going to miss if it's canceled.

She is an attractive woman who displays some nice cleavage. But, I agree that she's not quite as sexy as what I had envisioned for a succubus.

However, the woman that is the leader of the Dark Fae oozes sex appeal (Emmanuelle Vaugier) and would have made a great succubus.
