Hex: The Complete Series: DVD Review
Released by Madman Home EntertainmentPacked over 7 discs of varying quality, Hex: The Complete Series is one of Michael Fassbender's earliest roles.
Starring Christina Cole as Cassie and set in a school, this show dabbles in the supernatural, the sexy and the obsessions of teens. Desperate to fit in, Cassie finds herself the target of a fallen Azazeal (Fassbender, in a wooden performance) who becomes obsessed with her.
The only one who can try and save her is roommate and ghost Thelma (Jemima Rooper, in one of her early roles) - as the battle for souls begins.
Riffing on the older man / bad boy love story, Hex is less than original in its later series, but its first series delights in atmosphere, and its soapy edges.
It still doesn't set the world alight, and shows the Brits determined to plough another furrow at the time of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Hex may not cast a lasting spell, but it certainly does bewitch in parts.
