Cassie (Christina Cole) is a shy college girl whose only friend is Thelma (Jemima Rooper). Thelma is murdered but her ghost is hanging around. Only Cassie is able to see her which is a problem because Thelma is a lesbian and in unrequited love with Cassie. Then Cassie finds she has other powers.The lesbian ghost storyline gives this show its edge. Which is why the lost of Christina Cole to the series spells its death nail. It's baffling how the lead character gets killed in the 1st season. It lasted all of 2 seasons totaling 18 episodes. It didn't deserve the second season.

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.

Where to begin? The fact the term "Nephilim", which actually means the offspring of Angels and humans, is used for the Fallen Angels themselves (correctly termed "Grigori")? Or howabout Thelma the Lesbian Ghost, who can't touch people, but can touch everything else, which includes opening doors, eating food, changing her clothes (and hair) and who casts a shadow? Then there's the fact that no one notices Cassie speaking to what would appear to be nobody at all, even when she's in a crowded room with people right next to her? And what the hell kind of high school is it where they allow male and female students to freely visit each other's rooms, unsupervised, and where teachers go to bars with the students? And what's the drinking age in England, anyway? I thought it was 19, but here we have high school juniors going to bars. And when Ella shows up, no one notices that she wears the same outfit every single day? But such details aside, nothing compares to the tedious, drawn-out, snail-paced storytelling style. Such a shame, too. This show had all the ingredients for being really good, but, I hate to say it, that dopey show Charmed was more exciting. And here I thought British TV shows were better than ours.

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
