I suppose this is the UK's answer to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, as it has a witch, a lesbian ghost, a Faith-a-like demon slayer and assorted otherworldly creatures.
Introverted Cassie, who is at a private school, turns out to be the descendant of a witch and has those witch-like powers as well. She ends up being wooed by Azazael, one of Fallen Angels who like having sex with human women. It turns out that Cassie is in a long line of women looked after by the demon - and what he wants from her is a son, which she eventually gives birth to.
But far too many things are left unexplained, particularly why Azazael hasn't been able to breed before, as you figure he's been having sex with human women for thousands upon thousands of years. I could also do without the whining of the lesbian ghost character. She was interesting the first few episodes but after that you want her to "walk into the light" and go away.
What was surprising, though, is that the series kills off one of the main characters and replaces her with a more interesting character introduced in the last few episodes of the season. It's another witch, but someone who has far more many problems than the character she replaced.
I suspect season two will be more entertaining.
