Themes of buffy/angel, but a show in it's own right.

I do have criticisms about Hex, but as I am still watching, something must be hooking me in.

Sky billed Hex as the English Buffy, and as such, I think I had preconceptions about the themes from the start. Perhaps advertising it differently would have helped. It does bear similarities - character wise, and storyline wise - there are heavy tones of Buffy and Angel (demon pregnancy, witch, the forbidden love and it's consequences etc), but it explores these and other themes in a much different way, and this is what puts it's own stamp on.

The characters are very likable, and I cared enough about Cassie to feel stunned at her 'death'. I found Ella confusing to begin with, but she has progressed into a strong lead character, and has done an excellent job.

Not having the main character which the story was set around in the show must have been quite a difficult task for the writers.

Thelma - great character all round, at the start of season 2 I was watching just for her!
