Actually lost girl is well

Actually lost girl is well into its second season, SyFy is actually running reruns as the show originally aired on the Showcase Television network in 2010.

Luckily...

The first iterations of Daughter to Demons date back to 1998.

Over at showcase.ca they seem to be available for streaming as well, although one has to have an ip addy inside Canada to watch them.

It's not really re-runs as they are first air in the US :) I've been watching it via the internet since the beginning and never knew it wasn't actually airing in the US :P

Fae?

Considering the story is about "Fae" succubi; I wouldn't put money on the writers actually reading much of anything. Unless that was purely spin to keep the Christian Fundies from getting their panties in a bunch about demons as 'hero' characters

Fae - It's explained in the first episode

It's meaningless in the traditional sense, as it has nothing to do with relatedness or Faerie, since the only commonality between the various types of Fae is that they're not human. Even the "light" and "dark" sides are only alignments for personal advantage (a deeply cynical outlook), roughly congruent to whether one is reluctant or eager to kill "humans." I think the writers just liked the *sound* of the word "Fae."

Just saying….
