I'm sure that Microsoft/Xbox has the wrong video linked for downloading the HD version of this episode via the Video app. I saw someone else post about the same problem on this same episode. I've still not been able to solve this problem. In theĮnd, they blamed it on the show producers and said there's nothing they can do and they won't give a refund. I asked how do they know about this problem - are you passing on my complaints to someone higher up? They again blamed the other company and said they themselves can't do anything so obviously no one higher up has heard my complaints. They said someone will fix this problemĮventually. I spoke with them for over 1 1/2 hours with no solution. Because of this, it can't reach the levels of Being Human (UK version) or Misfits(UK version)- which are both supremely underrated, and can't keep up with the strength of Supernatural, Vampire Diaries or even the new 'The Originals'.I've spoken with Zune, XBOX, and Microsoft support (they kept blaming the problem on the other company and telling me to call the other instead back and forth). Yet the show tends to shy away from intelligent humour and prefers to go for boob shots, corny plot twists and cheesy one liners. The dynamics between The Ash and The Morrigan too could be very strong. The writing has the potential to be very intelligent- the character Trick, the Bloodking in particular has a fantastic history. Seeing a woman look badass is great, but the one liners kill the action.
In the 90's cool one liners were awesome- but in the 2010's we know better. It seems to be written by someone who watched too much Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The shows main issues lie in it's writing. At first the dynamic is fresh and relatively rare in mainstream TV, yet they manage to kill off it's sensuality by never letting the love triangle develop properly. (At least it hasn't in the early episodes of Season 4). She first falls for the Werewolf ('Wolf Shifter') Dyson, and later the Human Doctor, Lauren. The show isn't afraid of sexuality (and rightly so given the main character) and the love triangle that surrounds her is a bisexual one.
As The characters develop, the abilities of each grow to compliment each other in an impressive manner, which continually allows the the show to blend magic and mystery with politics and intrigue with a dash of character development.
This gives her (for some reason) a political presence of a third faction and her gang quickly become respected entities. Bo, choosing not to take part in the seemingly unethical practices of both, becomes the first 'unaligned' Fae. These reasonably unimaginatively named factions act like Mafia families that take care of their own and rival each other. The world she discovers upon realising her true heritage, is split in two the Fae world is divided into the Light Fae and the Dark Fae. Together this dynamic makes her a slightly more interesting female protagonist. She thrives off 'sexual energy' with it she is stronger than human, without it she is weaker than human. The Pilot tells the story of how she discovers that her powers derive from the fact that she is actually a 'Fae' (read supernatural being) that has the power to wield seduction as a weapon. The show sees Anna Silk playing 'Bo' the Succubus. That problem aside the show DOES have me coming back for more. It's shoddily designed, with an otherwise good soundtrack.
