Which TV Series?

[muninnhuginn]

Blonde schoolgirl with unusual powers, a misfit lesbian best friend, a habit of falling for dark-haired men who've stalked the earth for hundreds of years, classroom snobberies and cliques, a favourite night spot... sounds like...

Sounds like Buffy, but it's actually Hex. And, really, with the above, the comparison ends. After all our years of watching dire TV shows, we can't bring ourselves to watch an entire episode. It lacks, well, coherence, invention, wit, heart. Everything, except a pretty lead actress (and plenty of pointless shower scenes) and scenery. Give us Sunnydale any day.

Hex I'm enjoying, just to be different.

And just to be equally different, BG leaves me clay cold. The pacing of the pilot and the first two episodes was turgid, stodgy and yawn-inducing, and the Cylon nymphomaniac got really boring really fast.

I'm sticking with my partial viewing--especially spread over several evenings. I have to admit to rather admiring the ghostly best friend. And tall, dark, distinctly Byronic baddies are always a draw!
