Hex: La malédiction

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 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.

Hex is a unique British TV series which has provided relief in the currently dismal TV of late.

Although it has many similarities to and has been hailed as the 'british Buffy' try not to compare the two as they are very different shows. Without Buffy paving the way chances are Hex wouldn't be here but to compare the two will more than likely result in disappointment.

Hex follows student Cassandra Hughes at boarding school with her best friend Thelma (Jemima Rooper). The two are outsiders, mocked by the populars and content to sit alone at lunch - something which many will relate to.

Cassie's world is turned upside down by an innocent discovery. The result of her curiosity turning her mundane school life into a roller-coaster of sex, discovery, pain, death, love and excitement! Hex boasts a witch, fallen angel, lesbian ghost and plenty in-between. Do not miss your chance to see this fab show returning on 18th September 2005 for a well deserved second season.

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.

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?!
