Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

sageev I am a Buffy fan, so news of a British series that was similar without treading the same ground certainly piqued my interest. And, *initially*, this series certainly did deliver the goods, with Christina Cole presenting viewers with a serious, compelling portrayal of the series' main character, Cassie, who happened to be strikingly attractive (similar to Sarah Michelle Gellar's presentation of Buffy's titular character). Supporting characters were also done well, always in an orbit around Christina's luminous star, with Jemima Rooper being the stand-out supporting star (again similar to Buffy's Alyson Hannigan, who could lighten any scene or present emotional counterpoints in ways that complemented the main thrust of the show).The chief problem for viewers such as myself was Christina Cole's departure from the series, essentially like the ripping of the main mast out of a ship: the show lost its momentum, and the original plot lines were left unexplored (Cassie's destiny, what mistakes her ancestor(s) might have made with Azazeal, Azazeal's true mission, and more). Retooling of the series followed Cole's decision to leave, with a new main character (Laura Pyper's Ella) that would be used to guide future plot lines. Fans of the second season are quick to defend the remaining actors and actresses work, and deservedly so, but in my opinion, the retooling suffered from a couple issues. Ella was essentially a very competent witch, who excelled at her mission of demon-slaying: far too derivative of Buffy. Worse yet, this also removed the novelty of the series for me, because truly, the series seemed to be breaking ground with a non-comedic portrayal of a "good witch" at the beginning of her journey. I think the best solution would have been to start an entirely new series. The producers probably were hoping to keep the original Hex audience, but I think that plan backfired. Regardless, I will look back on the initial episodes of the series with pleasure, and dream of what could have been.

mjtastic Hex for me is one of the shows that you watch and come to love and then whether due to writing problems or actors' personal lives, the show quickly fizzles out and you hate you even watched it. The first season had me hooked and probably should have lasted for more than just five episodes. All the actors are great, and the school is very haunting, and almost claustrophobic with teenage angst and cattiness.I do know that I enjoyed how Hex was (slowly at first) growing with development and the potential for better story lines was there. I would love to have seen the McBain story further explored and Cassie's(excellently played by Christina Cole)character learn to harness her powers. I also would have liked to have seen, Cassie's father, lightly mentioned in earlier episodes make an appearance. Ella, while cool for fighting skills and toughness ultimately made Hex into the one thing it tried not to be...a Buffy wannabe.Thelma is amazing as the comic relief, while at the same time, sorrowful as she struggles to exist as a ghost. Azazeal is wonderful as the villain and hunky eye candy, but I think what he did to Thelma in the 2-hour series premiere of Hex may have put a nail in the coffin for the show and Cassie and Azazeal's relationship.It's no question in my mind that after the lead actress in season one left Hex, the show was over and that's why it was canceled. Plus the writing and the way certain characters were written out was questionable. Hex has a blend of many classic horror movies (Carrie, Rosemary's Baby, Dracula, American Werewolf in London, etc)and may have tried to throw too much out there by the second season's finale.Hex was a good summer thrill-ride and no doubt great for horror fans that like a little teenage comedy this Halloween. The show was special in how it set up characters and the actors in a beautiful eerie setting and music. I think the original three main actors will be household names in the future as they continue to act in other roles.

panthrvamp OK, so it says it started in 2004 and the final season is summer 2007. I only saw it this season, could be cause with being Military don't always know where going to be. Can the first season if its before this summer, be downloaded or purchased on DVD? I really wish it wasn't ending so soon as have really enjoyed it. I do agree that without Cassie there is just something missing. We have really enjoyed the show thus far and are looking forward to seeing it next year, but will not be thrilled when the show comes to an end. would really appreciate anyone letting us know where we can get a copy of what am assuming the first season, it would be appreciated, or are we possibly a season behind here in the US? because Cassie died mid way here and from what I read, she was there for the first 2 seasons. Blessed Be Deb

mchlvermette i started watching this show when bbc America started airing it here in the states i watched the pilot because i thought it looked a lot similar to buffy the vampire slayer(my favorite show... rest in peace). the first episode was OK but as the series progresses it seems to get better and better. ill make it plain that hex is by no means my favorite show ever but it serves a good purpose of being a good summer show. up to episode seven it has been good and interesting with many plot twists and cool character. i ask that you try out this show and give it a chance because it really is worth it. it might also be a good show to pick up the season for because that way you can watch it at your leisure
