My opinion on the two seasons of Hex is somewhat divided, so I'll write a separate review on both of them:
Season 1: Love it. The story was excellent, the atmosphere was very good and the characters were diverse and interesting. I liked the role of Cassie, much because she brings forth the best in Thelma, who is one of the bright point of this series. Azazeal makes a very good villain, as he is clearly very complex and obviously has more sides to him than just the evil one. Season 1 gets a 10 out of 10 from me.
Season 2: I really don't know where to begin. It started off so good, but lost so much of it's charm as it went on. I'm not saying that I hated it, but there are just too many things I didn't like.
I found it very sad that almost all the lead characters leaves the series halfway through the second season, and the dramatical changes in in the remaining characters renders me confused and uneasy. Leon is such an example, who is by himself not a bad character at all in the second season, but is too different compared to season 1. With Cassie gone, Ella had to cover the role as the sensitive and sobbing heroine, which came to much in conflict with her original role as the disciplined, cold-hearted warrior. A little emotion is just fine and adds complexity to her character, but this gets way out of hand. Thelma also lost a lot of her charm, as she become more treacherous and backstabbing. However, I did like the role of Archangel Raphael, who was amusing.
And at last, the story didn't cut it for me. The obstacles the characters have to overcome becomes fussy and makes you question what they're actually doing. There are too many loose ends from season 1. And it doesn't make any sense that Malachi suddenly has a grand evil plan in during the last episodes, when he earlier on was kind of a "twilight"-character, neither all good or evil.
Season 2 underwent too much re-invention in my opinion. A 5 of 10.
