Billed as UK TV's answer to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed, the supernatural drama Hex plays more like a coming-of-age story dressed in Gothic trappings. Christina Cole stars as Cassie Hughes, a young girl enrolled at Medenham Hall, a private school that once housed a coven of witches. Cassie, who struggles to fit in with her elitist and over-sexed classmates, discovers that she's even less like them than she thought when she develops telekinetic powers. The onset of these powers attracts the attention of Azazeal (Michael Fassbinder), leader of the Nephilim (the fallen angels of the Bible). What follows is a broad and frequently stylish soap opera that pits Cassie and her roommate Thelma (Jemima Rooper, who steals many scenes), who happens to be a ghost, against Azazeal as he attempts to control Cassie's body and soul--quite literally. His plan is to impregnate her in order to allow the other Nephilim to invade the corporeal world. Cutting dialogue a la Buffy and a hip soundtrack should hook viewers, as will a smattering of nudity and violence and surprisingly solid special effects. -- Paul Gaita


Synopsis

A teenage girl becomes aware of her strange new powers and of her legacy. Her future is unclear as forces good and evil fight to make her their own. Her destiny is in her own hands. Supernatural thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Dark, Sexy.... and very much original!, 29 Dec 2004
I don't know who decided to brand this show "The British Buffy", but they were very wrong. Hex is darker, sexier and heavier on the wry humour than Buffy. Whilst both shows are equally fantastic, Hex stands out as a nice refreshing show in comparison to all the reality TV we're bombarded with these days.

I recommend this series to anyone who liked quirky shows such as As If.

5.0 out of 5 stars moody gothic horror at its best, 21 Jun 2006
By Margaux Paschke (New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I liked this series a lot. I loved the plot and the amazing camera work that set a fairly scary mood. There were scenes that were downright spooky. This series worked for a few reasons: (1) interesting characters played by good actors all around; (2) even though the plot was fantastic (fallen angels and witches), they set up a mythology that made it all work; and (3) great dialogue. Firstly, the main characters of Cassie with her demure shyness and Thelma with her brass (fill-in-the-blank) are a perfect pair. Azazeal is the requisite brooding dark male with loads of sex appeal. These three have some of the best dialogues I've heard in a while. The supporting cast is really good too. Leon (resident jerk), Troy (greek god on campus) and the Headmaster are stellar. Secondly, the whole mythology was well crafted and they stayed true throughout. I only had a problem with possession as in one case it was painful (random guy in bar who flirts w/Cassie) and in the other was so peaceful it happened while asleep (Troy). This minor irritation did not detract from the overall experience. Lastly, the dialogue contained within these six episodes are almost Whedon-like (as in Joss Whedon, script writer extradinare) in their beauty. Others have provided great lines that never get tired. As for extras, this set contains deleted scenes (very interesting), commentary by director Brian Grant for the 1st & 2nd episodes and a behind the scenes look. I highly recommend this series. It is very entertaining and stands up well under repeated viewings. I cannot wait for the second season although the creepy ending leaves me with some dread over how the series will progress......

5.0 out of 5 stars Phew - darn hot!, 13 Dec 2004
By C. Pollard "pigasussy" (South Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A definite must see. Such a refreshing change to take a crisp bite of drama/sci.fi/mythical TV with a British accent and British sarcasm, style, intelligence, humour and gloriously sexy gothic feel in what has up to now been a monotonous (and somewhat childish) American corner of the market. Watch and learn my friends. This first series has been far superior to any other script of a similar genre with a tight plot and plenty of action to keep any one of us happy... teens to T.O.G.'s (oops! showing a crack in my youthful shell there) and for any and many a reason. The only critisism is the fact that we have to wait a year to get our teeth into the second series. A sneak into my crystal ball shows HEX deservedly taking over the prime slot of Coronation Street. ;o) Yum yum!
