Hex

I have to admit that I was not expecting much from Hex. However after watching the first episode I was impressed and looking forward to the next.

I am a fan of shows that feature the occult and Hex did not disappoint me. The show features more of an adult set up rather than your usual teeny type show, which is a refreshing change.

I found the cast to be likable and the scripting to be British - a welcome change to everything being the American way of speech.

As my user name suggest's I am a fan of Buffy and Angel. Personally I don't think Hex is anything like either show, it is very individual.

I recommend you watch it and see for yourself - you might be surprised.

This show rocked. It had something for everyone, love, hate, lust, magic, good, evil you name it, it was in there. It was the kind of thing that appeals to anyone who watches it, as it had the perfect balance between the supernatural and the natural, with great story lines between each of the characters.

Each of the characters were typical sex-driven teenagers, but they were being driven into a world of magic without realising it, and it was done in a painfully addictive way. This said, the adults in the show also played an important part, and without them (Jez, Azazeal etc) the show wouldn't have worked.

There's only one thing I don't get: Why did they cancel it?!

Hex is probably one of the best things out at the moment on television; something that really is worth watching. Hex becomes more interesting as the plot thickens, so for all those who said they watched the first few episodes then gave up, it's their loss. The characters are not boring (as someone commented) and the script is written well. There should be no comments saying that it's boring and dull, as there is a frequent (yet understandable) change in content throughout the episodes. The cast is excellent, and there is a lot of chemistry going on between characters. Not something to compare with Buffy, as in truth Hex is quite different, but not worse in the slightest. The difference does not make it less interesting. Something that should be watched by all.

After seeing the first episode I wasn't sure whether to continue watching. Other than Thelma, the acting was pretty weak. However, hang in there as Christina Cole (Cassie) finds her feet and Azazeal is extremely cool.

This one is much raunchier and less moralistic than most American TV shows. I loved Buffy too, but it was always trying to tell us how to the right thing and everyone did a lot of unnecessary suffering. In Hex the heroin sometimes takes the low (moral) road which enables some interesting character and plot developments. Lets face it, girls are often attracted to some pretty destructive men - the girls often see their more vulnerable side - Azazeal plays this sweet badboy perfectly.

This is not a visual show (although, as someone noted the countryside is pretty). The special effects are almost non-existent. It is a psychological thriller and the characters and music make it scary.

Hex actually has elements from a number of genres, not least of which is some black comedy (which Brit's excel at). Thelma is fabulous!

If you like American Sci-Fi and Horror TV shows like Buffy, Charmed and Dark Angel. Then you will most likely like Hex.

The show has deep complicated characters who are played brilliantly by talented actors and actresses.

The story lines mix teen angst and sexual awakening, perfectly with demon slaying and spell casting.

The only negative comment I have against the show is the shortness of the seasons. The first season was only five episodes long and the second only 13 The show has a lot to live up to with it being compared to a British Buffy but already on only its second season its showing the ability to become a massive cult hit.
