"Hex" may not be stupendous TV, but for a decent summer thrill, nothing on broadcast holds a candle to it.

"Hex" takes a while to cast its spell, but it may yet prove itself worthy of viewers' attention.

Hollywood ReporterRay Bennett

There almost is nothing here that hasn't been seen before, including creaking doors, cobwebbed mirrors, ghostly visions and a lot of meaningful glances.

Allison S gave it a10:
This is an absolutely wonderful show! I caught it by accident on BBC while they were doing a marathon, and I am so glad that I did. I was instantly hooked. Although now they have stopped playing the show. I would love to buy the whole series on dvd if possible here in the states. I can't wait until the show comes on again. I can't say enough good things about it. It is truly one of a kind.

LUCIA R gave it a10:

Christina V gave it a10:
Love the show! I caught it by accident over the summer. There was a marathon of HEX today. I want the DVD set as soon as it becomes available.

Rachel W gave it a10:
Brilliant

Jamie A gave it a10:
Wonderful show here in America. Shame the next series is not until Summer 2007, why do we have to wait so long?

Amy C gave it a10:
A step up in the meatphysical thriller/drama television shows, this series contains references to rather advanced occult and folkloric ideas. The effect makes the outlandish appear believable, and far more sophisticated than other examples of the genre.

Claudia C gave it a10:
Excellent, smart and absolutely addicting!!
