2004-6 supernatural drama series. Originally marketed as The British Buffy, which was true in much the same way that Coupling was the British Friends (which, again, was part of the early hype), Hex was one of Sky's earliest original drama series. It told the story of a blonde schoolgirl named Cassie Hughes (plaeyd by Christina Cole) who gets supernatural powers with which to fight demons, but has her style cramped by her falling in love with the leader of the aforesaid demons, Azazeal (Michael Fassbender), discovering that her destiny is to give birth to his child, the Anti-Christ.Following the departure of Cassie's actor, the series was retooled into a show about a kickass red-headed immortal schoolgirl named Ella Dee (Laura Pyper) who has supernatural powers with which she fights demons. Unfortunately she was blind-sided by the Anti-Christ (Cassie's sprog Malachi)'s evil plans, the demons won, and the show's second (and final) season ended with the cast divided into the evil, the very dead, and the fleeing in terror.In both seasons, Thelma Bates the ghost (Jemima Rooper) was the heroine's sidekick and speaker of memorable quips.Don't confuse this with the 80's horror flick, HEX.

However, because he wants Malachi to choose his own destiny, the forces of Hell put him on a bus and send Mephistopheles to make sure the apocalypse goes as planned.

No Body Left Behind: The Nephilim combust and disintegrate after death. Averted with Jez (possibly because he was in human form when he was killed), so Ella makes it appear he committed suicide to cover her tracks. Cassie's body also dissolves after she dies, leaving only her clothes. This is because she was killed in a ritual designed to ensure the victim was 'dispatched into darkness, body and soul'. Indeed, because no body is found, the school staff report her missing and spend quite a while searching for her.

"Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization: Azazeal's attitude to sleeping with a possessed Cassie. This backfires on him, since once she's no longer possessed, she wants nothing to do with him. The few times he tries to start something when she's herself again, she basically tells him to fuck off. He appears genuinely confused by this.

Police Are Useless: In general, but there are some really jaw-dropping specific examples: The murders of the gynaecologist and the security guard at the school seem to go completely uninvestigated. Ella severely beats Jez in a kendo battle before strangling him to death, then hangs his corpse up in a crude attempt to fake a suicide. The cops seem to buy this completely, despite the obvious injuries to the body, and the fact that hanging leaves very different marks to manual strangulation.

Plot Hole
 HEX / int_6331ba26
comment
Plot Hole: In the penultimate episode, Malachi and Jo are seen with what are implied to be Tom's dismembered body parts wrapped in bin liners, seemingly about to go and dispose of them secretly. In the final episode, which appears to be at most a couple of days later, Tom suddenly and mysteriously has a formally-marked grave, just so that another character can visit it and have an epiphany.

Lightning Can Do Anything: It can bring Anointed Ones back from the dead. Thus Magical Defibrillator is weirdly justified even though ultimately it is Thelma armed with Ella's volta that saves the day. It also cures possessed people (resulting in a rather amusing episode where Thelma tries repeatedly to electrocute Cassie)

Light Feminine Dark Feminine: Played with: Cassie and Jo initially come across as the Light Feminine with the former being a somewhat shy, bookish virgin and the latter being a caring but lonely and sexually frustrated teacher. Their experience with Azazeal turns them both towards the Dark Feminine with Cassie becoming a sexy seductress while under Azazeal's control and Jo serving Malachi after Azazeal seduces her. Roxanne and Gemma play the Dark Feminine for all it is worth but it turns out Gemma really does care about Troy as she leaves the school with him and Roxanne undergoes a moral awakening late in Series 2.

Elaborate University High
 HEX / int_ad22dd72
comment
Elaborate University High: Medenham Hall is supposedly a school, but has an elaborate campus, pupils who all seem to be in their late teens, and a complete lack of supervision outside classes, which makes it seem more like a university.

Scars are Forever: Ella has scars on her wrists, which she tends to hide with long sleeves or sweatbands. They are later revealed to be manacle burns from when Azazeal tried to have her executed as a witch. At one point, Ramiel tries to convince David that they are evidence of self-harming.

Face–Heel Turn
 HEX / int_af3ea0e3
comment
Face–Heel Turn: Quite a few... Malachi (who despite being the Antichrist, starts off as more Chaotic Neutral) does this after he gets a taste of the power that mind-controlling people brings. Jo and Cassie both succumb to their love for Azazeal, the former turning evil and the latter sacrificing herself to protect Malachi. Basically one of the major themes of this show is that Love Makes You Crazy. And sometimes evil too.

comment
Shout-Out: Leon quotes Catherine Tate's "am I bovvered" speech at one point. Thelma comments "I have a cunning plan" when explaining to Leon about her plan to rescue Ella from the hospital. This is then repeated several times in the final couple of episodes. Azazeal and Ramiel, rather creepily, discuss Reservoir Dogs while they torture Max. Azazeal makes Troy possessed by shoving an insect into his ear in a blatant shout out to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Ella's seventeenth-century attempted execution as a witch, with her tied to a ladder and lowered into a fire, makes visual reference to the film Witchfinder General.
