When I first saw in the DVD shop I thought it would be a nice show like Buffy or Angel, but I was wrong... IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER! This show is perfect. The first few episodes it was a little slow (and I mean little) but it started to pick up speed and it snowballed and its just each breath-taking episode after each other now.There were so many themes and metaphors that I was impressed that they managed to include on a television program. This isn't a kids show (although it is safe). It makes you think and not just about the actual show, but about your own life and what you believe.Definitely the best show I have ever seen. It's like watching heaps of awesome movies after each other. I have laughed, cried and been incredibly shocked by this show. It is simply superb.I thought Angel and Buffy were good... they really don't compare to Hex. Each script, character, stunt, special effect, camera technique is done perfectly. The opening theme... I honestly can't describe how good this show is without raving.Don't be discouraged by my enthusiastic answer either, I am very critical when it comes to film and television, I am a film maker myself. This show is way beyond its time and better then anything I have ever seen.

though the series began to recycle some story elements second season, it was a fresh and original idea that was executed brilliantly, though often compared to Buffy or charmed it couldn't be further from it. most people who are used to the formulaic and unimaginative episodal content of charmed and the later Buffy series cant sit through this as it spends a large amount of time putting sincere effort into cultivating the heavy dark atmosphere and using few, but well placed, and truly scary moments. what the series lack is any real direction per-se, you get the sense that the writers did have an overall idea where the show would be heading but gave up on that nearing the end of the second season. if your looking for genuine cleaver horror with true scares, and not just action and fights with big flashy special effects and prosthetic monsters, then this is the show for you

I was so excited to see a show that encompasses the genre I love so well , and it got better each week. Then I found out that is was actually a series that had ended in the UK in 2004. So I guess they will s how the remainder of it this year some time, and alas another good show will bite the dust for me. Why can they not keep fantasy/horror going is beyond me. I've lost so many shows in 2006: Blade, the series, Invasion,Surface, and Threshold. Yet we have Law & Order on 3 channels 24/7. I can't wait to see Michael Fassbender in "300" when it comes out. The girl who played Cassie was very good also. I've seen a few other shows I like on the BBC channel as well , one about ghost hunters (a man & a women). So I guess people who like Sci-Fi or whatever you want to call this are in the minority as usual.

I started watching this show in '04. I watched the pilot and loved it. I like Cassie because she is just a typical teen in school. Few friends, not part of a big crowd but she wants it a lot. When she discovers her powers, things get interesting. She can move things without touching them, set things alight with her mind etc. But, her powers are part of the cause of her mate Thelma dying. Cassie has a love hate relationship with Azazeal leader a group of fallen angels. As the show progresses , Cassie becomes pregnant with Azazeal's child. The child grows at a quick speed. Cassie tries to terminate the birth but Azazeal manages to stop it. I turns out Cassie only had a C-section and gave birth to an evil son (born on Christmas day). In season 2 Ella arrives to kill the child but Cassie's feelings get in the way and she sacrifices herself for the child. The child ages about 16-18 years in 6 months! He takes over a school and plans to destroy the world. A good show if you want drama, comedy, a little action and romance with a lot of horror. 10/10
