Movie Reviews of Hex - The Complete First Season

Movie Review: Hex is Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of Hex - The Complete First Season

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
