At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Even though I Lurv Lost Girl, I am rating it an 8 because I had actually stopped watching a couple of episodes to the end of season 4 which aired at least two years ago and recently came back and binged watched the rest of the show. I also giving it a lower rating because Kenzi left and she and Bo are what made the show.I feel like in season 5 that there were a few things that were shown or explained off screen and I hate when that happens. A) when Bo was stabbed she never made it to the phone so who found her and how long did it take? B) She told Trick about her Dad being Hades but I would have loved to have seen the emotional moment of when she told the others and their reactions but it just jumped to them talking about it. I also feel like there just wasn't enough about Tamsin's baby after she was born, I mean we know that Valkyries have an accelerated life span but how long was it from when she was born to when she actually went back weeks, months a year? Why didn't Kenzie take her? I mean she was still a teenager even though she looked like she was 10. I felt like they left the last episode very open ended, like maybe there could be more or maybe a spin off? When I got to the last episode I thought what THATS IT??!!!! I was never actually a fan of Bo and the Doctor, I always felt like her being with Doc L was never natural. Bo for the most part was a straight up person unless it was going to put the other person in danger or hurt their feelings. Where as Doc L just lied and was selfish, maybe I just never got over the fact that she was never upfront with Bo about who she was or why she was with the Fae.Don't get me wrong I LOVE Bo but I also felt that she couldn't do anything on her own and her friends ended up rescuing her WAY to much. When Doc L was taking those defence lessons from D-Man, I thought he should have been teaching Bo some of that stuff. I mean I know that she was a Succubus but I think that she relied on her powers just a little too much, when a lot of situations could have been handled differently. Also I would have gone back and asked Evony if I could buy that stallion he was absolutely stunning lol.

I know a bunch of super-fans for the show, I personally have no qualms towards the fan base and if you want me to be honest, if we went by the first Season alone I would have given the show an 8 or 9. Then the second season came, it had less of a memorable villain and obviously filler episodes of which while some situations can be funny, they weren't anything special. Then the third season came out, it was a step back in the right direction with fewer story lines and promise for an epic villain for the first time in the show's history... Then we get easily the most embarrassing story-arc in Canadian TV History as payoff to the year audiences waited.So what's the storyline? Bo is for an unexplained reason a succubus and accidentally stumbles on the community of the Fae with the help of her friends decide to stop whatever threat comes to the Fae world and find out Bo's exact heritage while having bisexual sex along the way.Okay, the plot is stock but I will say there are 2 things I really REALLY enjoyed in the show. I do like that Bo being bisexual isn't her only defining character and put on top of that the fact that the bisexuality is never portrayed as a problem like other things and it seems like a very mature way to write the character, I'm straight myself but I do like seeing this happen.The other thing. Kenzi maybe my absolute favourite comedic relief in all of fiction. In the first season almost everything she says is hilarious from the line "I just saw you eat some dude's face, it was AMAZING!" I was hooked onto the show and probably it was the reason why I managed to get through to the end of Season 4. Okay, she was more drama-oriented at the end which is understandable but I was invested, and probably the only thing I actually WAS invested in that season considering the circumstances were more sympathetic then anything that was happening with Bo.Okay, now to address the elephant in the room. Rainer. People have already talked to great lengths about how insipid the entire story was. The story goes that the big epic villain they were building up and people were outright scared of turns out to be Bo's new boyfriend which she came to the conclusion that he's more worth protecting then any of her friends and throws them out despite the end of the third season being that he kidnaps her, so she falls in love with him over the course of the single half of an episode told in flashback (which being that it was explained that time ran faster on the place he kidnaps her, making a day being the time between seasons 3 and 4) and she rather saves his life on the possibility that doing this might unleash the gates of hell instead of chasing after the man that murders her best friend's fiancé in their own living room and you know how saving Rainer's life results in "World go BOOM!"... She does this and he dies one episode later and not only that but they change it so that he's not the epic villain... no, he's supposed to be the one to root for... With all respect the one thing I was thinking when watching the season 4 finale was "F^&*$KING END!!!!!!!!!!". If this is not the single worst story-arc in Canadian television history, I don't want to know what is.Onto the problems with the show I have in general. In the first season there were clear places belonging to the light and the dark which just gets dropped in Season 2 onwards. The guest stars, while they got George Takei and Linda Hamilton I will say that as the show goes on they get worse and worse (the 2 worst being Rainer's Edward-Cullen-esque brooding and Massimo's... um? Norman Bates if half the time he auditioned for a Death Metal band as played by Jerry Lewis is the best way to describe him... Didn't I already say Season 4 was embarrassing?). It's also kind of obvious that they just add stuff in towards the end. Oh and being that they killed off Kenzi, as in the sole reason I watch the show at the end of Season 4 all I have to say is "Thank you, you have now finished off having me watch the fifth season and destroyed any of my passing interest in the show again".There are some good things, especially in the first season. Part of me would have wanted to see Michelle Lovretta take on all the seasons as opposed to the show-runner's being constantly changed. I will also say that there are good episodes of this show after that (the last good one being Of All The Gin Joints, it then floated on being okay for a couple of episodes then becomes insulting). At this point I will say watch all of it but approach the fourth season's last 5 episodes with extreme caution, especially when I also say that the last 2 are the worst in the show's history.

Bo (Anna Silk) has lived a troubled life. She seems to suck the life out of anyone she kisses. She befriends petty thief Kenzi (Ksenia Solo). Then she discovers that she's a Succubus and there is a secret world of beings called The Fae. She is told to choose between Light and Dark Fae but she chooses to be unaligned. Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) is a light Wolf shapeshifter and a police detective. Hale (K.C. Collins) is a fellow detective and a Siren. Trick (Richard Howland) is the barkeep and so much more. Lauren (Zoie Palmer) is a human doctor and property of the Ash. The group is later joined by Valkyrie Tamsin (Rachel Skarsten).At its best, the show is fun and sexy. That has a lot to do with Ksenia Solo. She's a terrific smart-mouthed sidekick. As long as her great lines keep coming, this is a wonderful show. Sadly, she does leave the show for long stretches. Rachel Skarsten tries to replace her with her own wackiness. The mythology of the show is fascinating until it gets too convoluted. This is a good group of characters and the show is quite good most of the time.

Dear writers of the show, Without any desire to rant or be petty and pesky I just want to ask you why you keep dragging trough mud the great premises and great characters of this show. And I do care to elaborate. It is only so often, despite the best efforts of the guild that we end up with a strong self-reliant female character like Bo that goes on, learns new stuff, grows and enriches her personality. And her side-kicks do miracles for forming a complex world of emotions, intents and deeds. Also this Goth/ fantasy world, hidden in the human world that our characters inhabit is quite delicious. And the villains, oh boy, the villains, especially my personal favorite Vex are pure delight. So why, having all this in your bag of tricks and the almost infinite possibility to invent fantastic evil forces for our heroes to battle you chose the lamest, most predictable narrative to go by. I get it, Bo is a succubus, a fae that feeds on sexual energy. So she's bound to have sex here and there and presumably with more than one partner. And not be a stuck up, I enjoy portrayal of LGBT sex and straight sex as much as the next person. But after all the show is supposed to be fantasy and not a sexual fantasy at that. It doesn't look beneficial to the plot or the character development. It feels like just the easiest filler and cheap ratings boost. At the same time the main plot goes unsteadily and at times is honestly illogical. A simple example – the characters are about to face their arch enemy, but just when you think it will happen, they hop by Bo's place or any given unrelated place, to get, hum, all kinds of useless stuff (like change their clothes) and when they do meet this supposed enemy, it doesn't have any emotional impact anymore (and it is usually finished in 2 mins) so it feels like the whole season was building to, well, nothing. If you could say that some "building up" occurred in first place. It becomes tiresome trying to figure out all these hints about events or characters being presumably important to the plot. And you wait and wait and NOTHING comes out of it. Pardon my obvious frustration about it, but how do you want us to care as we don't even get what is happening anymore? Spoiler alert for season 4 – so first we learn the Wanderer is bad, bad news; but then he is just a new hot guy for Bo to sleep with; then he is supposed to be super powerful and help Bo lead fae into new era; but then, once written back into history, he is pure evil, the kind with horns and fangs, literally; then he get killed in 5 seconds by the human joke of a druid, while Bo (who is convinced Rainer is her destiny) just stands aside and watches???? And it is actually her father who is evil, but we never even get to see him, let alone get some narrative about why and what the heck is happening. And Bo never even breaks a sweat on this beautiful overly exposed cleavage of hers. So with all due respect, please make note that we deserve something better as an audience and there is certainly so much more to this show than the easy – peasy "Some like it hot!" that you are giving us.
