Succubus Bo and her human best friend Kenzi have more or less settled into their new lives amidst the Fae community. Fae, in case you have forgotten, are creatures with magical powers who keep their existence secret from most mortals. They're divided into two factions, Light and Dark.
As something of an iconoclast, and having a lot more affection for humans than do most Fae, Bo has refused to join either faction, and makes her living working as a Private Investigator for both sides. In practice though, it must be noted that she has rather more Light Fae friends than Dark Fae (and to be fair to show, the characters themselves do note this).
Just dealing with the Fae would probably be drama enough for anyone, but Bo also has to confront the fallout of a terrorist attack on the light Fae leadership, some very complicated relationship issues with partners both new and old, and oh just by the way, a potentially Fae-destroying threat that could see her and all her friends dead. Bo is going to need to make some uncomfortable new alliances to save herself and those she cares about, this time around.
Lost Girl really feels like it has found its feet in this second season. The individual episodes are fun, and the over-arching threat and themes are quite well executed. It's the character relationships where it shines, though. Bo's friendship with Kenzi, the complexities of her love life, and the rivalries and camaraderies of the supporting cast are all very enjoyable.
If you like urban fantasy and you haven't seen Lost Girl, check it out.
