The show's debut became "the highest-rated Canadian scripted series premiere of all time on Showcase." Yeah, like many of our favorite shows you have to invest in a few maybe several episodes before you feel a connection but it's a small investment and you may like the returns.Lost Girl premiered on the Showcase channel on Sunday, September 12, 2010, at 9 p.m. So, there are things that might take you a little leap of faith or investing in more than a couple of episodes to tie into the characters. There's not always a clear line of what is good and what is evil so it challenges us to decide where the line is where we say no. It's a side we are all capable of and I like to see it portrayed as a reminder of what we can do for each other when we look outside ourselves. Also, I can always root for a hero/heroine who sees the pride of privilege and wants to help the underdog without expectations. Although there is a heroine she is supported by the ensemble in a way that gives everyone a place of importance in the goals of the team. Another thing or two that I like about the writing and direction is that there is not a lot of time spent on the strength of one gender over another. Each character has a personal relationship one with the other with its' twists, turns, betrayals, redemption plus the group has a dynamic together that feels genuine. Personally I don't mind the special effects when you have a team of characters that have interesting, complicated interactions. Like most sci-fi it requires a stretch of the imagination and like many of these types of shows the budgets don't allow for all out big screen special effects. Few of them do I enjoy enough to get the DVD and watch several times but this is one of those few. I've seen lots of sci-fi and fantasy, they are my favorite genres.
