News: Debuts for Lost Girl, Todd and the Book of Pure Evil
SPACE is pimping Todd and the Book of Pure Evil rather heavily, with a Todd-centric InnerSPACE special airing September 22, 2010 at 9:00 PM. The show will also be previewed at FanExpo Canada on August 28, 2010, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
As for Lost Girl, it debuts on Showcase Sunday, September 12, 2010, at 9:00 PM ET/PT. The show stars Anna Silk as nascent succubus Bo. Also appearing are Ksenia Solo as Bo’s best friend Kenzi, Kris Holden-Reid as shapeshifting homicide detective Dyson, and Zoie Palmer as Lauren the human.
A current trend in television is to take monsters and set them against a modern relationship drama or sitcom backdrop – Being Human, Ugly Americans, True Blood, Neighbors from Hell, this. I’m generalizing a bit, but a lot of shows are embracing and/or subverting horror conventions.
I’m looking forward to Todd and the Book of Pure Evil more than Lost Girl. Todd and the Book of Pure Evil doesn’t do itself any favours by the “Evil Dead meets The Breakfast Club” self-comparison. At least the press bumf contains the words “vengeful penis monster.” I can’t get a bead on what this show will be like.
As for Lost Girl, I’m on the fence with this series. It uses the basic “human-like cryptid learns of her secret past” plot. I’ve also obtained two scripts from the series. Nothing stands out for me. Lost Girl takes itself so damned seriously for a show about faeries.
I don’t want Lost Girl to be Troma-level dumb, but Todd and the Book of Pure Evil might be the smarter proposition here. I never thought I’d say that about a show starring a slacker and his magic evil book, but there we are.
