I played ME1 for a bit a couple years ago but never really got into it. Then recently i downloaded the ME2 demo and it seems really good. Wondering if I can just bypass playing the first without losing too much of the experience.

Play the first one, I'd say. The story is more substantial and you get introduced to the characters and the universe. I think you lose a lot if you skip it, but that depends on how much value you put on the story, the characters, and the world - and the chance to have your decisions affect the second and third MEs. It's not that long if you just play the main parts of it.
