Misfits Continued

Misfits Overview

This show is just so very British. It's all about the characters which are weird, lively and likeable. Yes, 10 minutes into the first episode (that's why this is not really a spoiler) they and a lot of other people each receive unique powers ranging from incredibly mighty to ridiculous. But instead of becoming a "Heroes" clone it centres on these young protagonists and makes you care about them.

Reviews of Misfits

Misfits has positive reviews everywhere. The Telegraph have said it’s a 4.5 out of 5 and they have also said this: Starring none of its original cast, E4's Asbo superheroes drama Misfits has become the ‘Sugababes’ of the TV world. That it remains so popular is therefore a testament to not only the inventive and scabrously worded script but also the zesty new cast for whom replacing the likes of Robert Sheehan and Iwan Rheon was no easy task. The excellent Joseph Gilgun (This Is England), brought in after Sheehan decided to call it a day at the end of the second series, has in fact come to embody latter-day Misfits: cocky, louche – and a bit awkward to watch.
