Bloody awesome new Canadian TV series. It reminds me of Buffy due to the dialogue and the lovely character interactions. I cannot spoiled you the fun! But i bet if you have an open mind and do not let yourself be too fanperson you will adore it. Check it out give it a chance. I want to spread the word i do not want this series to be canceled. I live in central America so i do not count for ratings but you, you Canadian guys please give it a chance! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Girl_(TV_series)lostgirlseries.comi used the search thingy and it did not gave me any hits so if you have a topic already, feel free to add this post as a comment.

This does sound pretty good. Thanks for the recommendation, I think I'll check it out. Seems like Canada may be beefing up their original programming, as I hear Durham County is awesome as well.

thank you! i felt in love with this series. Just in case they do show some skin but it is handled very tastefully, OK to watch at home but not at work (as i found out yesterday )

I just logged on to the site to create a thread for this series. Thanks for beating me to it, suemey. ;D Eight episodes in and I am already loving this series. Strong characterization, great comedic timing, engaging drama, and its handled its mythology with far more grace than most other supernatural shows. I can only hope this series will run for as long as it needs to. It's definitely a worthy successor to BtVS. Michelle Lovretta, the creator, co-show runner, and writer of Lost Girl had this to say about the show, and its influences, in a recent interview: Alex: The character of Bo follows a long traditions of strong female leads in genre shows – Xena, Buffy, Echo. Can you tell us how Bo both relates & differs from them?
Michelle Lovretta: She certainly shares some traits with each of them – she’s guilt stricken over her previous kills and trying to repair her karma by using her abilities to help others, like Xena. She has Buffy’s sense of both loss and wonder, when she realizes she’s not the “normal girl” she thought she was. And Bo shares Echo’s determination to live outside the “system”, and possibly bring it down.
A key difference would be Bo’s complicated relationship with sex. For Bo, “sex is power” isn’t an idiom, it’s a very tricky and inconvenient fact of life.
Alex: Buffy, Xena, Dollhouse, all created by male creators and writers. How will Lost Girl differ from those shows, with a woman as the creator and writer?
Ms. Lovretta: Well, clearly none of those series suffered in any way from having male creators. I’d love to be able to claim some unique moral highground or creative edge here as a woman creating a female heroine, but the truth is …I’m not sure there is any? Television is full of empowered, three dimensional female characters that just so happen to be created by men.
The difference here, if there is any, is what stories I might be more drawn towards telling. One of the dynamics I enjoy exploring most in Lost Girl is just that of female friendship. I get a little tired of the portrayals of shallow, catty, competitive girlfriends, the type who ditch one another when anything with a functioning penis walks in the room. That just hasn’t been my experience. I’m not those girls, I don’t like those girls, and I’d sooner not spend an entire season writing them.
I have no doubt that Kenzi and Bo would kill or die for one another, although there’s nothing sexual between them to be gained. I love that about them, and that platonic loyalty was very important for me to protect throughout the development process: that Bo and Kenzi are sisters, not love interests. I didn’t want to feed into the stereotype that because someone is bisexual (as Bo is) that they’re sexually available to, or interested in, everyone. I love me my Bo — so, I don’t want to paint her as a Walking Hungry Crotch, or someone’s fantasy fulfillment.

I went to the website and the episodes aren't available. Perhaps a licensing issue for US viewers? Too bad, it looks like a good show.

I've seen the first six eps of Lost Girl and am quite enjoying it. So far the actual stories have been fairly run of the mill stuff with it reminding me more of that other (now defunct) Canadian urban fantasy series Blood Ties than Buffy with extra swearing, nakedness and steamy sex thrown in. But what is really holding my attention is the central pair of Bo and Kensi. They're excellent with Anna Silk and Ksenia Solo being extremely charismatic and fun to watch. Their chemistry is great and it is that above everything that will keep me watching. Apparently the show has been a big hit in Canada on Showcase channel and has already been renewed for a second season. Meanwhile Ksenia Solo can be seen in Darren Aronofski's acclaimed forthcoming creepy ballet-centric horror film Black Swan starring Natalie Portman. Can't wait to see that.

Anyone know where us US wanna-be-viewers can find it?? This sounds like a great show and I would love to watch it!
OT: I am obsessing over Black Swan! I can't wait to see it!!!

I watched the pilot and I am hooked. I definitely see traces of BtVS like you mentioned. The platonic friendship growing between the two female leads is what I like best so far. They're a couple of misfits who sort of remind me of the Buffy/Willow relationship, although Kenzi seems more like a "Faith" type.

yes kenzi and bo's relationship is the heart of the program and the soul is [glow=red,2,300]bo and dyson's,[/glow] but that is my preference. I have read that people prefer bo and lauren but for me there is no chemistry there. Episode 12 was epic, that ending. One more episode to go.
