Hex: La malédiction

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?!

I watched season one of Hex and enjoyed it in an on and off kind of way despite some ropey acting and a hammy script at times. However, if you stick with it and start watching season 2, you will be well rewarded, the action kicks up several notches, the stakes are raised and a MAJOR character dies for good and a new one is introduced.

Jemima Rooper continues to steal the show as the sassy, lesbian ghost Thelma, with some great one liners such as "I may be dead, but I'm not straight" and newcomer Laura Pyper creates a whole new dynamic as Ella whilst some old faces get some much needed character development. The Nudity, violence and sex is more noticeable helping distance this show from the whole "british Buffy" tag it used to have. It really has become a must see show and one I spend an agonizing week waiting for the next installment.

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.

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.

I am of the opinion that Hex is far superior to the squeaky clean US Buffy series. I am well past my teen years so I also resent some people dismissing as a "teen soap". It has a much more sophisticated sense of humour to it, it is way sexier and a hell of a lot more believable (as long as you don't count the whole idea behind the story,lol). I have always enjoyed occult fantasy and originality. The acting in my opinion is better then that of any of the Buffy characters. Also, as for character development.....please...it is a 2 series show for god's sake, not some mega buck US crap that keeps going on and on and on until finally the cast say, ENOUGH!!! I think given the limited time that the characters developed quite naturally. Also, I am pretty confident it will not have all the mega merchandising spin offs that Buffy did, HOOORAY!!!!!
