The BBC series Hex is going to start its second US season on BBCAmerica on Saturday.

Here’s the full day’s schedule: [http://bbcamerica.com/tvschedule.jsp?showsList=120](http://bbcamerica.com/tvschedule.jsp?showsList=120)

Exactly what order am I supposed to watch? How do the ones marked US ep fit in?

Are Saturday Episodes 1, 2, 3 and 4 repeats of what’s on earlier in the day? Is episode 5 at 1:00 pm the same as the episode 5 (US Ep 1 Pt. 1) on the next Saturday at 10:00 am?

Who thought this up, anyhow? Is it like one of the British cryptic crosswords where you have to find the anagrams hiding in the middle of other words?

I think your title would have worked better as “Vexed by Hex”.

I know, everyone’s a critic.

Yes, the BBC America site is confusing. It looks like you should just go by the Episode number.

From [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_%28TV_series%29) (spoilers inside)

> BBC America decided to divide the episodes into two equally long ‘seasons’ for American viewers. Season 1 (Episodes 1-10—series 1 plus the first 4 episodes of series 2) aired in the summer of 2006, while season 2 (Episodes 11-19, the remaining episodes from series 2) will air in the summer of 2007[2]. BBC America has also edited Hex for content, removing and/or changing nudity, violence and language.

Originally aired in the UK as Series One (6 episodes, 2004) and Series Two (13 episodes, 2005)

I’ll warn you now, I wanted to like this, I really did. I don’t know how so much can happen while it seems so slow. Watch it for yourself, but if you feel like you would rather be doing something else, go ahead. Read the synopsis and spoilers to find out what happens instead…

I feel the same way. I wanted to like it but something is missing for me. Maybe if they put the nudity back in… My wife loves it so I still will watch I suppose.

Yeah, like, f’rinstance, something interesting actually happening. I’m still PO’d about the hours I spent watching this turkey. I mean, pretty girls, semi-isolated school, demons, ghosts, magic…something interesting’s got to happen, right? Wrong!

Hmm. I wonder if my wife checked this out last year and dropped it. But thanks for the help straightening it out.
