9 | The show kicks off following Amy, a young bowling alley employee who has recently been seeing a psychiatrist on the grounds of seeing strange things. Things take soon take a turn when she meets [[{{Deuteragonist}} Raquel]] who informs her that she is a seer - someone who can see demon-possessed humans walking amongst ordinary people. Hilarity ensues as they try to navigate their way through supernatural encounters more than a little out of place in their otherwise mundane lives. |

13 | !! This show provides examples of: |
14 | |
15 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Amy is shown as this throughout the series. Comes to a head when she [[spoiler: kisses Raquel in the final episode.]] She denies it whenever it's brought up. |
16 | * AlwaysChaoticEvil: Averted. Most demons are shown as incredibly violent and destructive for the sake of violence. However, demons show quite the nurturing side to their children as seen in Mercy and [[spoiler: Sawyer]]. Harry also starts to show this [[spoiler: after he falls in love with Raquel.]] |
17 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Suzanne]], thanks to Raquel [[spoiler:serving as a bridge between worlds]]. |
18 | * BadBoss: Callum, given his propensity for battering his henchmen. |
19 | * BigBad: Callum serves as this, particularly concerning Raquel. |
20 | * BlatantLies: In a show where not everyone is [[{{TheMasquerade}} aware of the supernatural]], these are abound. |
21 | * BookEnds: The series starts with Amy pissing on her friend who was recently possessed. It ends with her [[spoiler: pissing on Jake as he's been possessed as well.]] |
22 | * ByTheEyesOfTheBlind: Only Seers can see demons - responsible for the premise of the show. |
23 | * CameBackWrong:[[spoiler:Suzanne]] does this, much to the dismay of Amy. |
24 | * DemonicPossession: Naturally, given the premise of the show. |
25 | * DoingResearch: Whenever a problem arises, Raquel takes to the {{Internet}} for answers. |
26 | * TheDragon: [[{{IronicName}} Mercy]] is this to Callum. |
27 | * GlamourFailure: All demons to Seers. |
28 | * HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:Raquel]] reveals that she is this after [[spoiler:her father]] dies. |
29 | * HollywoodExorcism: Complete with {{Ritual Magic}}. Unusually, it seems to also [[spoiler:result in the death of the host]]. |
30 | * InLoveWithTheMark: Harry is this despite [[spoiler: working with Callum to use Raquel as a portal to hell.]] |
31 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Suzanne]] survives her fall and shows up at the end of episode six with her head sewn back on. |
32 | * OminousLatinChanting: Accompanies the show's {{Ritual Magic}} |
33 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted. Jake's list of potential party-goers includes two Petes and several Simons. |
34 | * OurDemonsAreDifferent: So far, demons have only appeared while possessing humans. Only [[spoiler:Raquel's father]] is seen to have any sort of supernatural powers otherwise. Oddly enough, it seems that exorcism [[spoiler:leaves the host dead as well]], though that may be due to Amy and Raquel's inexperience. |
35 | * PowerIncontinence: When Raquel is upset, she causes electrical appliances to go crazy. |
36 | * RitualMagic: How the show's {{Hollywood Exorcism}}s are performed. |
37 | * RunOrDie: What [[spoiler: Raquel's father]] urges his daughter to do if Callum or his henchmen ever come after her. |
