    HEX ... and...

    I've never watched HEX before, but I saw it pre-viewed on sky a few days ago and it looked pretty good.

    What do people think of this? is it worth me buying and watching from the start??

    also, I'm really looking for a good Sci-Fi series to get into at the moment, I loved the X-files, I want something like that again. Damnit. any recomendations??

    The 4400

    Awesome show...series 2 ended excellently with a cracking twisting storyline.

    Supernatural!

    Only watched the first episode so far but it is awesome! Americans seem obcessed with the supernatural at the moment, and there are lots of shows like Ghost whisperer, Medium, etc that are cashing in on them, but supernatural is without doubt the best of them so far.

    Cheers for the suggestions chaps, will have to check some of these out.

    I'm not really so into 'ghost' things though, I don't mind them... I prefer space themes/alien/freaky paranormal crap

    I quite liked Stargate, but Atlantis had some terrible acting it - they took it too seriously, SG-1 was an OK sci-fi with humor, atlantis is a fairly crap sci-fi with bad acting!

    Oh, Stoo -

    I saw the re-made film of battlestar galactica.. it was abit poor i though. Whats the series like in comparison? any better?

    Also, what does FTW mean?

    Gonna check out Hex, 4400 and lost... maybe smilleville too - I've never really watched it, wasn't much of a superman fan.

    dangel, where can I find the 3 you suggested? Can't seem to find the on play.com/google?

    Oh come on. SG-1 ok?

    It's easily the best show and atlantis is not too bad now.

    SG-1 is just OK, come on - all the episodes are sooooo similar. It's like scooby doo

    I loved the film, and thought the initial episodes were great. But I really find the newer stuff incredibly boring

    It just seems to drag on with boring/repetitive plots, and the same characters doing exactly the same things, whilst saying the exact same things.

    New Sig on the Way...
