Having defeated the Garuda, which wanted to feed on all Fae, succubus-and-private-investigator Bo might be forgiven for thinking things would quiet down for her and she can focus on her budding new romantic relationship.
She is, of course, not going to be that lucky. As always, there's machinations from the leader of the Dark Fae to worry about. And then there's a series of murdered Fae, at least one of whom looks uncomfortably like a succubus kill. Oh, and above and beyond all that, there are some seriously weird things going on for Bo herself ...
Lost Girl season three continues the entertaining adventures of Bo and her friends. It builds well on what has come before, with the relationships between the characters continuing to evolve based on past events, including shifting alliances and allegiances, as well as the introduction of a fun new character in the shape of Tamsin the Valkyrie.
It's not flawless, of course. There are a couple of moments where new Fae lore is revealed in a "clearly the writers just came up with this for this season" kind of way, but they do at least make some effort to explain away why the subject has never come up before. And the season opener with the Amazon jail and the sadistic warden is (a) a bit on the nose in general with some squicky sexual abuse themes and (b) somewhat transphobic. The latter issue was hopefully not intended by the writers, given the show's general LGB-friendliness, but it's there nonetheless.
