The dark fantasy fae soap Lost Girl has become a fairy tale hit since Syfy imported the series from Canadian network Showcase. Beginning with its U.S. debut on Jan. 16, the show picked up about 1.5 million total viewer, and experienced a 14 percent growth the following week. But in addition to the impressive numbers the show has been pulling, Lost Girl is notable for how it handles the issue of same-sex relationships.

Currently airing its second season on Showcase, with a third season already ordered, the show follows succubus fairy Bo (Anna Silk) as she attempts to navigate the political world of the "Dark" and "Light" fae with her human best friend Kenzi (Ksenia Solo).


Spoilery alert thing But while fighting monsters, kicking ass and taking fae names, Bo also gets involved with the wolfshifter Dyson (Kris Holden-Reid) and human doctor Lauren (Zoie Palmer). The show never labels Bo's relationship with Lauren as gay, lesbian or bisexual, and simply just deals with it at face value. This is a relatively new development in genre TV (with the exception of HBO's True Blood).

Paranormal Pop Culture recently discussed the topic with Silk and Solo, as well as discussing how life has changed for them since the show has aired in the U.S., and about the type of fans "Lost Girl" attracts.
