Does anyone else found the interviews with the writers and actors from Hex really smug? It's always comments along the line of how they're more intelligent than Buffy, they're more mature than Buffy, Buffy was aimed at a young audience while they appeal to all ages etc.


Grr!

I've never watched Hex, and I've no plans too, just the interviews with them in Dreamwatch annoy me.

Meh. I tried watching the show when it first started and found it incredibly boring and overly self-important.

Rather glad I haven't read those interviews. If the show is good, there's no need to put down another one. The show'll stand on its own merits.

They seem to mention Buffy in every DW interview they do, it bugs me when they're meant to be professionals.

Season two is much better than the first.

I've seen Hex. I like it, but only because of the lesbians. :p

Obviously though, now that i've read this, i will never watch a single episode of Hex ever again. *g*

Oh yeah! Let's talk about this! :D

I tried to watch that godawful show (Hex) and it made me want to puke. Awful showmaking all around, crap acting, crap photography, crap writing and characters who are so off-putting I wanted them all dead real fast. The only good thing is Colin Salmon and he's always good, he'd be good even in a Stargate episode.

Hex is a petty-minded, spectacularly uninspired piece of third rate shit. More mature than Buffy? Maturity requires a ton less pretty minded nonsense than Hex has. More intelligent than Buffy? Hex gets one good idea and then messes it up totally by treating it and everything else with a subhuman intelligence.

Hex is bargain basement no-class Buffy-genre-ripoff with pretensions.

Aimed at all ages? Like aimed at people who are so old they died a thousand years ago and so can't tell if a show is total shite? Buffy was aimed at an adult audience but sneaked by through pretending to be teen fare. Hex is aimed at no-taste morons of all ages.

And at heart it's dull and flat and feelingless, despite all the stuff they put in it that should make it otherwise. Worthless crap.

From the way they were dismissing Bts, I could tell they weren't very intelligent :p

I really like Hex and watch it regularly, but it is not a brilliant show by any stretch of the imagination. The second season is quite a bit better than the first though. And overall it's worth watching, with (IMO) strong performances and INCREDIBLY beautiful shots in it.

It can't hold a candle to Buffy though in terms of plot, dialogue, underlying themes etc

The stuff they say in interviews is just rubbish! They've obviously never watched Buffy, and have just been told that they have to market their show as 'the new and improved and more adult (sooo not!) Buffy' which is kind of sad.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I was confused when one of the actresses was saying she had watched Buffy and it was fine for its type, but Hex was so much darker and more adult. Like umm did she watch season 2 or 6 of Bts?

[bluesuzanne.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's totally stupid. I'm pretty sure the network fed the actors lines to promote the show. The show isn't darker or more adult than Buffy at all. Swearing and nudity, while fun, does not make a show 'adult'.

I watched Hex and it was crap... and I'm kinda drunk right now/

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Hee. I take it you're enjoying uni so far then? *g*

[sum1-different.livejournal.com]

Well the drink isn't messing up your judgement on shows. :D
