I don't mean "confusing" in an intellectual way (which is impossible with this series); I'm puzzled as to why this show tries to be adult (with sexuality & blood), but then nullifies said mature theme with the CHEESIEST lines & acting I have heard & seen in a long time. It's as if the writers picked out a "Cheesy Lines For Dummies" handbook & crammed 50 years of unoriginal 1-liners into every episode.I watched ALL 5 seasons hoping it would get better. I generally liked each episode's ideas & how expansive they got with each supernatural theme. But the acting & dialogue killed that enjoyment (esp. that of Ksenia Solo). Personally, the only people who brought anything likable (in terms of acting) to this show were Zoey Palmer & Paul Amos. All in all, if you're a supernatural, sci-fi, fantasy obsessor like me, you'll cringe, but still enjoy it all.SPOILER ALERT: If Ksenia had been killed off in ANY of the seasons, I would have changed my rating to a 7.

Started out okay and even Promising in the first Series... However the Lovey Dovey thing with Dyson in Particular was sick,,, ruined the show... Then Lauren.... Almost Normal, almost believable but then suddenly BAM we have Rainer... Aside from these rather poorly scripted story lines.. The writing overall is abont the worst I've seen on ANY show on TV.... Could be a good series... Write Dyson and Rainer out and put Bo in the sack with the Morrigan Lauren, Hale, Vex, Kenzi and Tamsin and let it Rock! Seriously? Werewolves, Zombies and surely Vampires too... Utter Guff that ruins what could be a good Fairy Show! Someone got their Genres mixed up! What I wouldn't do for another 10 seasons of FRINGE!!!

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.

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.
