Hex

Hex is not at all similar to Buffy or charmed except for the basic narrative of it containing the supernatural! And I don't understand how people can compare them when they have nothing in common! Although Hex seemed to conclude in the most strangest of ways each week, I thought that it was a very brave production for Sky One to broadcast, because their target audience wasn't a guarantee.

This production was not only entertaining but educational too, not because any of us are likely to have the child of a demon, but because it explores the precautions we must take everyday and also historical issues are raised.

Hex may not continue for many more series but I hope the second and perhaps the third are just as exciting as the first.

I must congratulate those who worked on Hex in the feature and the publicity because I felt that everything was done successfully.

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 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!!!!!

Having not seen season one, I was unsure of how I would react to Hex. I didn't have to worry though, as I found Hex season two to be absolutely brilliant. After the first episode I was hooked, tuning in every Sunday to see the next episode. In my opinion it is one of the best series on TV at the moment. It has humour, suspense, horror and can sometimes be plain shocking. Much darker than Buffy and seemingly made for a more mature audience it also deals with the problems of teenage life. A great program to watch on those dull Sunday evenings. Jemima Rooper is superb as Thelma and was easily my favourite character from the first episode. The characters are likable and can be very easy to relate to. You just don't see shows like this very often anymore and it is a real breath of fresh air. Bring on season three!

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.
