10 Most Underappreciated Seasons Of Cult-Favourite TV Shows
10. Series 2 - Hex
Often touted as the 'British Buffy'', Hex was a smart, sexy, and ultimately more adult take on the fantasy-drama genre; one whose first series quickly established a passionate following. Sadly despite the second series' increased budget and much larger stakes, the show's profile never raised beyond cult curiosity and it was swiftly canceled, leaving those that stuck with it to the bitter end very heartbroken.
It's not entirely known why Hex's second season didn't quite stick the landing for many, but some of its daring changes to the core narrative may have been the reason why the viewing figures took a dive.
Many fans were deeply upset by the heroine Cassie being so cruelly offed early into the second series and felt that the demon-slaying witch Ella wasn't a suitable replacement for the naive and extremely likable Cassie.
And yet, of the two series that Hex spawned, series two is undoubtedly the best.
Where the first series was a short and brooding affair, series two was much more grandiose and epic by introducing all manner of demons, angels, and mythological creatures to wage war upon one another. All whilst not losing that sinister and sexy edge that had drawn people in the first time around.
