  • This show is not afraid to take risks, there's nearly no filler because the seasons are so short, and the characters are extremely likable most of the time. The plot about people developing powers is executed wonderfully, and they actually use them!moreless

    After watching the Pilot episode i was instantly hooked. It had that supernatural-drama feel to it, while still holding on to a "realistic" view of the characters and how they interact with one another in this sort of crazy situation, and it's FUNNY AS HELL! The season long plot arcs are magnificent and actually go somewhere, and oh yeaa..the characters ACTUALLY PROGRESS.
    The powers are actually unique:
    Kelly can read minds, Simon can go invisible, Curtis can reverse time at moments of extreme regret, Alisha sends people into an orgasm-like state when she touches people, and Nathan doesn't find out his power until the finale of season 1.
    Misfits season 1 is about the new probation officer wanting to know what has happened to the first one (her fiance) and the characters dealing with the fact that they and many people around the city now have powers.

    Season 2 is about the identity of "superhoody" the superhero-like guy who has saved the main cast on more than one occasion. Also the powers change at the end of season 2.

    Season 3 is something refreshing and new because one character leaves and they bring in a new face who quickly joins the inner circle and they are all getting used to their powers as well as the audience is.
    I hope they keep this show going for as many seasons as possible because in all honestly it's only getting better. And I'm loving the whole future-Simon story-line of whether or not he actually has to go back in time. Shouldbodewell for an interesting plot. Can't wait for more Misfits

  • Rebellious British teens with super powers. What could possibly go wrong?...

    Gotta say I adore this show. It always reminds me of Skins which is another great teen based Brit show but only theres an extra ingredient... SUPER POWERS!

    Theres been a lot of superhero shows and films out these past few years and this is one of the better ones. Based around an unlikely group of 4 teens doing community work they are caught in a storm and each develop powers depending on an aspect of their personality and we soon learn their not the only ones affected by the storm... Each episode provides us with a new and bizarre adventure for our 'heroes' which never fails to impress me. I've never been bored once watching this.

    The actors also play their parts well and it's nice to see how over the episodes they go from being polar opposites to the best of friends and getting an insight into their minds and how they work is very interesting. Nathan is the front man of the foursome and he is hillarious. One of the best characters made up in a long time.

    With a great cast and inventive writing, and not forgetting that good old British humour this has become one of my favourite shows to hit the telly for a long time.moreless

  • Rude, crass, disgusting even, but very very VERY Funny!

    Well it was when Nathan (Robert Sheehan) was in Misfits at least, but unfortunately he's no longer part of the crew and quite frankly the jury is still out on his replacement Seth, played by Mathew McNulty.
    Seth is VERY rude, VERY crass, EXTREMELY disgusting and in my humble opinion not that funny. He just doesn't have the same chemistry that the others have or that they had with Nathan.
    My wife and I and our two sons absolutely love Misfits and we've been hanging out for this 3rd series since the 2010 Christmas special and I have to say, as much as we really wanted it to work without Nathan's involvement, he was the show's central character and without him the first episode of this series was, well.....underwhelming to say the least.
    It came across to me as if the writers were trying to make up for (or hide) the loss of Nathan by giving Seth even more disgusting lines and even more disgusting subject matter than Nathan normally has.
    This didn't work though because Seth couldn't pull it off in the same cheeky style as Nathan would have.
    While Nathan might have shocked you with the language and the subject matter, he would still have you laughing your socks off with his delivery and style.
    The end result being great quotes like 'Gay. Straight. Retarded! Why do we have to put labels on everything?' or 'Monkey Slut!' and best of all..........'Save me Barry!' (I bet you're laughing just reading that)
    Seth on the other hand, in the words of my wife "Wasn't funny at all. He just came across as an annoying, dirty creep" which is dissapointing even at this early stage.
    Still, we'll keep on watching every episode the moment they come out though because it's really is one of the best UK series of it's kind, but I hope and pray that it picks up and that Seth's really annoying character with his really annoying Manchester accent either gets better lines or is killed off early on.moreless

    Really can't get enough of this show, it's absolutely brilliant and the characters are really something.
    Series 1 and 2 had me hooked up, waiting for series 3 to be just as awesome , the only downside is waiting for an entire year to see some of the most ridiculous and hilarious characters on TV. Nathan, Kelly and Simon are the best of Misfits and the entire plot and story lines are really interesting...Totally deserve the BAFTA award.

    Super powers mixed anti socials is a great combination. Kudos for the writes and producers of this drammedy, one of the best tv shows in our generationmoreless

  • This show gets better and better ... Forget Heroes, this one beats it by a mile, in their own way.

    This show seems to have it all. Comedy, entertainment, action and a little drama. Although the first few eps. start off a little rusty, it just grows into a well made and smart, yet very funny, series. Yes, it's not like the big budget hollywood stuff. It has that British feel i personally love. But, the show, characters and storyline grow into nothing short of excellent. The characters are key. It just fits ... (not what you'd expect considering the title). Especially Nathan, the annoying guy who can't help himself, is incredibly funny. It's creative and the timing and writing of the dialogs and comedy is top notch. I love the presentation of youngsters through their own eyes. Not the overkill or overdramatic hollywood stuff, more like real youth who suddenly get these uncontrolled powers, together with their hormones and need to find a way for themselves. But above all, just entertain the viewers. This must be one of the most original series i've seen in years. There's nothing i can come up with that's like this show. Obviously, it has some Heroes flavours. Mix it with the weird storyline and characters and british humor and i think that generally sums it up.

    And the best thing is: it just seem to get better with every episode. Really looking forward to S3.moreless
