Description:
Experience the highly-acclaimed, BBC drama series that has become a hit with fans and criticsv around the globe. "Nothing on broadcast can hold a candle to it," raves Melanie McFarland of the Seattle Post Intelligencer. HEX weaves the chilling story of one girl’s exploration of the supernatural around the tale of her own sexual awakening at a remote English boarding school. When social outcast Cassie Hughes unearths hidden ancient artifacts, she gains otherworldly powers with a terrifying link to the past. Though these newfound abilities frighten Cassie, she cannot deny that they make life with her irritating classmates infinitely more interesting. Her fate turns, however, when tragedy befalls her best friend, and Cassie embarks on the ultimate journey of discovery. Enjoy every episode of HEX’s sensational first season in this three-disc set. It’s hours of thrilling entertainment you’ll want to watch over and over again.

Billed as U.K. 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, as 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 American viewers, as will a smattering of nudity and violence and surprisingly solid special effects. The three-disc set features the first six episodes of the first season and four from the second, and includes include a 23-minute documentary on the making of the series with interviews with the cast and creators, as well as a small collection of deleted scenes. -- Paul Gaita

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 ... Read More

I was turned on to this series by some favorable comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Those comparisons are ill-made in my opinion and create expectations that likely will go unmet.
Whereas this series does have supernatural elements (angels, demons, and witches) and a mythological foundation (a biblical context), the similarities really stop there. In fairness, this 10 episode set almost feels like two different series. The first 7 episodes create the stage for the final 3 which ... Read More

I liked this series a lot, despite some flaws. 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) great character development; (2) great acting; (3) even though the plot was fantastic (fallen angels and witches), they set up a mythology that made it all work; and (4) great dialogue. The main characters of Cassie with her demure shyness and Thelma with her brass (fill-in-the-blank) ... Read More

Witty and has a plot. Shouldn't be compared to US genre - Buffy and Charmed, in a league of its own. Can't wait for the 2nd season to be available in US format.

After seeing the first two DVDs for Hex, I was disappointed. There is minimal story/plot line, the characters are lame, the special effects are strictly amateur. There are too many un-explained things going on that are obviously meant to keep us hooked, but not developed quickly enough to maintain our interest.
The main villain has little personality. The main heroine is clueless too far into the series. She really needed to develop a brain that could keep up with the events - example, ... Read More
