Who makes weed jokes in 2019? Brendan Schaub does and it's bad. That and every single joke is basically about him hanging out with more talented comedians and clearly riding their names with name drops.

Schaub when he's not dropping names comes from the very tiresome yet sadly ever growing school of "I make a reference to something therefore it's funny." For example he makes a Game of Thrones reference, then says "M'lord." randomly which isn't in GoT and if it is, it's not an iconic quote that people would laugh at legitimately. There's no context for GoT, he just wanted to mention it and then say M'lord. He just can't do anything right. For someone who's been on TV he just comes off as nervous as all get out as well.

Skip it and listen to those he name drops, they're actually funny

I hate Brannon Braga as a Star Trek writer. His post Enterprise work along with Star Trek alum Brett Spiner however does not suck. Carla Gugino is a good actress and very beautiful unlike Jolene Blalock who was just pretty. Peter Dinklidge, the only reason Game of Thrones is good (yes I said that) shows he was cool before GoT had him on. Brett Spiner is well, not Data but still good. Nobody seems to be a bad actor, The premise is cliché but in a good way, despite the usual Brannon Braga idiocy at times. Good actors can win over a bad script and Threshold proves this. It getting prematurely canceled is sadly typical for science fiction in this era, especially good series. I wish they had a second season as I am partial to Catherine Bell, an actress who like Carla Gugino is gorgeous as well as decent when it comes to acting joining the cast like what was planned.

Overall Threshold is a clichéd sci fi drama that is saved by great acting and worth at least looking into.

As a fan of mythology, I adore any show involving the supernatural in modern times. However, Lost Girl is very confused on what it wants to be. Is it a show that just wants to get HBO's attention with its gratuitous sex scenes and stages of undress for the heroines? Is it a genuine grim and gritty update to Charmed or Buffy? Is it a half-baked comedy that features sex jokes as the mainstay of humor? The answer is, it tries to be all of the above and fails at all of them. The first season is OK, with a few nitpicks about the names of the mythological creatures. The second season gets worse with a few more visible issues though and dumb character life-decisions and development. IE, more HBO-wannabe sex scenes for the sake of sex scenes, characters that have outlived their purposes and flat character development. Bo stops being just a competent heroine and becomes an unstoppable Mary Sue that suffers no negative repercussions for her actions and can even take down the leader of the Dark Fae with no effort who I think would be a tad more resistant her orgasm powers.

Then comes the third season and it is bizarre and something I could no longer watch. The addition to Tamsin is a wasted in this role Rachel Skarsten of Birds of Prey fame. Who has improved in acting and beauty over the years and doesn't deserve the entitled bitch character of this show. The show itself is like the exaggerated grim and grittiness of the 90s with the casual sex of the 70s and the outright insanity of the Silver Age of Comics in the 60s. It is no longer the passable show about urban fantasy beings but basically Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose The TV show mixed with Beautiful Creatures.

Overall go ahead and watch it, but don't expect it to be good or memorable. Also if you want good sex scenes get HBO because this show sure as hell wants to be on it so badly.
