5.0 out of 5 stars will be missed!, Dec 16 2008

Buffyvssatan (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Hex: The Complete First Season (DVD)
I just finished watching season 2 and it was not a series finale, so it's pretty frustrating. The season finale leaves us wanting more, but we'll never get it.

Apparently, the ratings of season two were not as good as the ones of the first season, thus the cancellation. It's surprising because personally, I think the second season is awesome and better than the first.

Yes, this box set contains all of season 1 and the first 4 episodes of season 2. Officially, season 1 contains 6 episodes and season 2 has 13.

Anyway, this is a great show for those who likes horror and fantasy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hex- Good show... To bad there wasn't more of it, July 29 2007
This review is from: Hex: The Complete First Season (DVD)
This has been a fun show to watch. In the US you have to have BBC America to see it, until now that is. They have finally released the first season (& I think there are four episodes of the 2nd on the DVD release as well)in the region 1 format. My understanding is that the episodes on BBC American as well the the US DVD release are the "shorter" apx 42 minutes, censored/cut versions. I would love to find out if this release in Canada is the same, or if it is the full UK versions.

I wish they would stop comparing it to Buffy. Both great shows, but very different concepts. Hex really could have used more time to build it's fan base, which is why I think Buffy lasted so much longer and had such a large following. Also with Hex, it was like the first season was almost one show and the second season as something altogher different. What with cast changes, the story hadn't just moved on but changed. We go from Cassie trying to figure out what is going on, what Azazeal wants of her... Then when Ella comes into the picture things change, we know what Azazeal was after, but he steps out of the picture, his & Cassie's son steps in. The show picks up the pace, but since it was then cancelled, you are left feeling a bit short changed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Filled with potential., May 6 2007
By trashcanman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hex: The Complete First Season (DVD)
This series is not, as it has been billed, a British "Buffy" which was more comedic, comic-bookish, and all-around entertaining. However, "Hex" is a fine series in it's own right and it's about darn time we got it in the US. For those of us with region-free DVD players and/or BBC on their cable service, this series has been quite a treat. It is smart, funny, creepy, mysterious, and pushed the envelope quite a bit, farther then what's normally considered acceptable on basic cable. In that respect, it definitely helped that this show flew in way under the radar, but it shouldn't have because it's a great series. The characters are all nicely fleshed out and endearing in their own way and believe me, this show is not afraid of shaking things up. The second season is among the most earth-shattering and bold runs of television I've ever seen; unfortunately it also features one of the most disappointing endings imaginable. But let's focus on what's on the table right now, shall we? Season one is a fantastic, if slow-paced, introduction and set up for a show that is more than worth your time. If you're into shows like "Angel", "Supernatural", and (naturally) "Buffy" than this series will scratch your itch in a big way. Cassie is our tragic (not to mention impossibly beautiful) heroine whose future is forever in suspense after she catches the eye of a devilish man named Azazeal. Azazeal is your typical emissary of the ultimate evil kind of guy; supernaturally smooth, charming, and ruthless as hell. Cassie's lesbian friend Thelma is among the most loveable and funny characters on any television series and a great example of how a "sidekick" can take over a show with sheer charm. There are plenty of suprises, scares, revelations, and shockers over the course of this series that will keep you guessing from the edge of your seat and watitng for what comes next. Give it a try and then wonder to yourself why this kind of quality television took years to make it's way to our shores.

5.0 out of 5 stars Region 1 Discs are Uncut/ Uncensored!!!, Jun 7 2007
By Wayne A. Blood - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Hex: The Complete First Season (DVD)
There's been a lot of discussion as to whether the Episodes on the the Region 1 discs are censored like the airings on BBC America.

I am happy to report that the content (on an episode by episode basis) is EXACTLY the same as the Region 2 Discs. They even retained the opening credits song "#1 Fan" that was not used in the BBC airings.

The only difference is that they are packaged according to BBC America's seasons, not as originally aired in the UK.

On the UK Discs = Season 1: 6 Episodes / Season 2: 13 Episodes

On the US Discs = Season 1: 10 Episodes / Season 2: 8 Episodes (I assume)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not The Full Versions - Censored/Edited, May 25 2007
By TNLurker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hex: The Complete First Season (DVD)
I would have given this set 4 stars if it were shown as they were originally made. But these are not.

Be warned that this set does not contain the original episodes as aired in the UK. These are the BBC America versions of the episodes. This means they are cut down to 42 minutes (about 10 minutes removed from each episode!) and some content has been censored for language and nudity.
