yes - desperate to fill the Buffy/Angel void in my life!

Polgara2 · 17/10/2004 20:53

Yes - I thought it sounded interesting too. Lets hope it is!!!

marthamoo · 17/10/2004 20:55

Yep, me too! It's British though, which I hadn't realised (that sounds ver negative but imho British spooky-type things tend to be a bit...well...pants )

We can hope!

Back on here after for a review?

lucimum2003 · 17/10/2004 21:01

Polgara2 are you a David Eddings fan?

yingers74 · 17/10/2004 21:01

hello all, I will of course be watching it too and have my fingers crossed it will be good. With angle and buffy gone and charmed not back on I need a fix!!
will be back for the review!

Hi, want to watch it too, but I haven't got Sky One MIL is under instructions to video it for me. The trailer looked good, but we don't exactly do these things very well do we?

Polgara2 - I was wondering about the D Eddings connection too!

I'll keep an eye out to see what the MN verdict is then....

yingers74 · 17/10/2004 22:45

what did everyone think?
i was not that sure, it will probably get better now that thelma is a ghost, but otherwise was a bit disappointed as it lacked humour and was a bit slow paced and the lead as yet is not that likable.

Needs some boy tottie. That Troy is a minger.

mrsflowerpot · 17/10/2004 22:48

thought it was all right. Agree that it looks like it could get more interesting now that the whole set-up is done. Good Sunday night vegging out TV if nothing else.

The whole teen-sex thing got a bit tedious - although dh seemed less bored by it than me, saddo that he is. And did it seem to be a school with a nightclub?

marthamoo · 17/10/2004 22:48

She looks like Michelle Pfieffer doesn't she?

I thought it had potential. Bit derivative, bit teenage, rather slow and lacking in wit. Bit tits and arse!!! But, let's face it, there's not much on at the moment!

Oh how I miss Buffy and Angel!

bobs · 17/10/2004 22:50

It wasn't like that whan I was at boarding school - for a start there were no boys .
Not bad - looks like it could get better

Thelma gets my nomination for "Worst Haircut since Kelly Osborne" award!

And how many teen girls do you know called Thelma?

my dh who is a teacher kept saying, no way any school would be like that and what kind of teaching is that!!! Yes also thought that the whole teen sex thing was a bit overdone.

No it was a bit pervy wasn't it? That Head was a bit off talking about his girl pupils. And they never said the c word in Buffy!

marthamoo · 17/10/2004 22:54

And that huge school and only 3 teachers - head, art, and Eng. Lit. You'd think the parents would be demanding their fees back.

I know! will watch it again next week and see how it goes. I think the prob is that joss whedon was really good with dialogue, hex lacks that sharp dialogue

marthamoo · 17/10/2004 22:58

No, I wondered where it was filmed too - very impressive house.

They need to go further with the past of the house - the voodoo, the slaves, whatever happened to the maid, the woman (McBain?).

It did have some genuine jumpy moments, which is a plus.

It isn't a patch on Joss Whedon, nowhere near as intelligent and witty, but then JW is a God.

mrsflowerpot · 17/10/2004 22:59

school fees obviously not so much for the teaching as for the excellent party facilities and availability of porn
