Hex is Amazing 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Hex is an amazing, though underrated, show that wasn't a chance to flourish. Fortunately for us, it is out on DVD and is well worth the purchase. Billed as the UK's answer to Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it is so much more than that. It has a mythology and premise all its own, which separate it from its American counterparts. At its core, it is the story of fallen angels who plot to take over the world, but it is also a story about love - between a man (or is that angel) and a woman, and a man and his child. There are many interesting twists and turns, special effects, and a great cast led by the incredible Michael Fassbender. Definitely worth the price of admission.
I wanted to like this, but. . . 1 out of 5 stars.

I am so sorry, after all of the online hype I REALLY wanted to like this. I was finally able to catch the first 7 episodes here in the states on BBC America & I was disapointed. The idea was there, even if it was ripped off from Anne Rice & her Mayfair witches, even the atmousphere and setting was pretty decent, and no one can really speak badly of Thelma. However I am a true fan of this genre and I have been spoiled by the high quality of the X-files and Buffy the vampire slayer. After experincing what Chris Carter and Joss Wheden have given the world in paranormal storytelling I am appalled that this dreck could so easily satisfy so many. Hex is awful!
The character's are not particularly interesting or sympathetic due to a severe lack of development - this blame can go on the writer's. It shouldn't be a welcome relief when a main character "bites it", as we say over here, however when Ella sticks it to Cassie we find ourselves really applauding a situation for the very first time in this show - SEVEN EPISODES IN!
This show left me bored and unimpressed, Thank God it only took two episodes of x-file reruns to make me forget most of this. It is offensive to us that this show would liken itself to Buffy or any of our paranormal/SciFi shows. When it comes to murder mysteries no one can hold a candle to the brits. However the paranormal/SciFi genre is better left to the Yanks.

This was in the UK format which is region 2 and PAL. The US is region 1 and NTSC format. Can't wait for the US version, then I will rated it five stars.
Great second season! 5 out of 5 stars.

I love this series. Don't know why the other reviewer gave this a one, it is only available on DVD from England so far. If you have an all-region player (Phillips, Toshiba, etc) this is a must have!
hmm 3 out of 5 stars.
