The second paragraph of the overview currently reads:
The show depicted teen sex, alcohol and drug use, mental illness, abortion, and human sacrifice. It was cancelled in April 2006 after the end of the second series.
This seems to imply that the show was canceled because of its depiction of those things. This is misleading editorializing (and not supported by the citation). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul Gorman ( talk • contribs) 00:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I hesitate to add a cleanup template since the page is constantly evolving (as is the prominence of the various characters within the show). There are, however, problems with the way the cast members are listed. IMO characters should be listed in their order of prominence in the show's credits, yet people seem to be adding characters haphazardly. In addition, the TV box template has a link to Christopher Judge, the American actor who plays Teal'c on Stargate SG-1, and who has never appeared on Hex! In addition, there are characters listed who were never regulars (Reverend George, Lilith Hughes) who should either not be listed at all or should be listed in a new subsection devoted to recurring or guest characters. In addition, some of the regular characters from series one (Cassie Hughes, Jo Watkins) became recurring characters in series two, IMO requiring additional notation for clarity, and recurring characters from series two (Jez/Ramiel) who are important to the plot are not listed at all.

I'm removing the "See Also" section. The addition of the link to the article Azazeal is germane to this article, but is now incorporated in the "Synopsis" section. Discussion of the mythological Grigori and Nephilim are not germane to an article about this TV series, and the conflict between mythological "fact" and the TV programme's internal mythology have already been addressed in the "Influences" section. Links to the articles Nephilim and Grigori are also already found there. In addition, the anonymous user who added "Grigori" and Nephilim" to "See Also" didn't bother to check his spelling or the accuracy of his links, predisposing me to delete rather than correct. In other words, the "See Also" section is redundant and has been made inaccurate and slightly irrelevant. Canonblack 18:27, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Although I'll be the first to argue against Hex's similarities with Buffy, I do really like what has been done with the Episode List, the relevent Episode Pages ( example), the Character List and the corresponding Character Pages ( example). Now obviously I could just go around creating stubs for the Hex characters and episodes and link it all up but it'd just get removed for being rubbish, so I'm going to start work on /some/ of the pages first. Of course primarily I want to check with the main contributors of this page that I'd have the support of them for what I'm attempting - and of course any help would be great. Drop me a line..

I agree with Zythe, for the most part. Is it just me, or do the synopses seem absurdly long? I think I will take a crack at abbreviating or paraphrasing some of it. Arcayne 15:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Thelma has her own wikipedia entry ao i was thinking of doing one for Cassie and Ella and doing a page for all the other smaller characters, as they are not key characters i think pone entry will suffice to cover them all. Also do you think an episode guide would be a good idea? Chris1989uk 18:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
The Buffy language reference needs to be clarified. The example of "über" is a poor one and the sentence contradicts itself; if true it should be footnoted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.19.186.2 ( talk • contribs) 22:59, 18 June 2006
Über didn't enter the mainstream vocabulary until 2002?? Where did that little factoid come from. It's been in English-speaking entertainment at least since the 70's (with popular usage in Monty Python and other series). I would hazard a guess that most folk who speak German would have a bit of a problem with that statement, mate. Arcayne 15:28, 31 January 2007 (UTC) Even if it was a german word, using it in the English language would mark a big change. BTVS definitely had an impact on language.
I only see references to Buffy. So far, no one has mentioned Anne Rice's Mayfair witches as an influence. I just watched season one (US) on DVD and it seems to be a complete rip-off of her Mayfair / Lasher books. Anyone else share this opinion? Jeff 23:47, 27 June 2007
Does anyone know if Cassie's death was planned from the start, or if the actress who portrayed her wanted to leave so they killed her off? -- DrBat 15:12, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the directors (or producers or whomever) filmed a shower scene in which her breasts were exposed. As she was not made aware of this violation of her 'no nudity clause' of her contract, she left the series. The producers had only themselves to blame. Arcayne 15:43, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I purged the 'Deeper into the darkness' quote, because it simply didn't belong there, having nothing to do with the article. Arcayne 15:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Is the show really LGBT-related? It might have some episodes that deal with LGBT issues, but is the whole show? -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 01:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
The following statements:
- It was marketed by Sky as "the British Buffy" citation needed and was also compared with Charmed, but in the June 9 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly, the creators stated that whereas Charmed and Buffy were send-ups of the horror genre, Hex took its mythology seriously and not for camp citation needed.
Need citation. As well, the statement identifying the issue of Entertainment Weekly is placed incorrectly. It needs to be turned into a properly cited reference. Please see WP:EXTERNAL or WP:ATT for assistance. It cannot remain in the form it is in currently, and will be removed in a few days unless it is converted. :) Arcayne (cast a spell) 16:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
I'd also question the inclusion of it at all. The only reason to include it would be to give some idea about the show (particularly since the structure of the sentence juxtaposes the Producers description with the assertion that it was "marketed as" the British Buffy, thus suggesting that their description is accurate.) Yet in my experience Hex is FAR more camp in style and tone than Buffy ever was. (comment added by User:24.218.221.152)
Just a note: almost a week has gone by without any additions of citations to the article. I will wait until Teusday 6/12/07, and then I will start removing uncited info to the Discussion area. Use the time wisely. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 01:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
The song listings for the episodes need citation. As far as I can tell, the episodes don't credit the music used within the series, anc closed-captioning of the episodes do not reveal it, either. So, how are the song titles beign arrived at? When they are cited,they can be reintroduced tothe article, and not before:
- Music (section)
- Series One (sub-section)
- Episode 1
- Blur - "Crazy Beat"
- N.E.R.D - "Rock Star Poser" ( Jason Nevins mix)
- Beverly Knight - "Come As You Are"
- The Concretes - "You Can't Hurry Love"
- Pleasure- "Sensitivity" (as Cassie is traced)
- Episode 2
- N.E.R.D - "She Wants To Move"
- PJ Harvey - "We Float"
- Episode 3
- The Kills - "Kissy Kissy"
- Joss Stone - "Super Duper Love"
- Episode 4
- N.E.R.D - "Don't Worry About It"
- Kurt Elling (sung by Trevor Waters) - "Close Your Eyes"
- Infadels - "Can't Get Enough (Mekon Remix)"
- Trulife - "seraphimia"
- Helicopter Girl - "Satan's Seventh Bride"
- Episode 5
- Blur - "Sweet Song"
- Series Two (sub-section)
- "' Episode 1
- Timo Maas feat. Brian Molko - "First Day"
- Gorillaz - "Feel Good Inc."
- Episode 8
- Katrine De Candole - "Look me over closely"
The show was cancelled. It is not on anymore. Therefore, it was a show. It doesn't meet the criteria for "is a show". - Arcayne (cast a spell) 23:37, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Types of mythological or fantastic beings in contemporary fiction is a page of, well, fantasy works (movie, TV, written, whatever) and the assorted mythological and/or fantastic critters they contain. This series would possibly qualify. Anyone care to add it? Tamtrible ( talk) 01:03, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
