Anyone else loving 'The misfits'? The Breakfast Club for criminals with superheroic powers and filmed in Thamesmead. It's so entertaining almost expecting it to let me down later.

I think its brilliant, edgy, scary and funny all at the same time.. what a great programme for those young actors to be in... I thought this weeks episode was quite sad though.

At last, someone else who watches the show! Completely agree about this week's episode, I guessed who she was, but didn't think they'd snuff her out.

I haven;t watched the second episode yet, just caught the first on On demand, but it's brilliant.
very funny and so nice to see something written for british youngsters. No chance the US would get half teh jokes in it, which makes me somewhat smug.

Im really loving this too. Very good, can't wait till the next episode.

i fancied watching this, hope its repeated

Stealth, Its on the channel 4 website, I watched the first last night and will watch the second later today.

I absolutely love this show, best thing on tv for ages. It's been a while since I actively looked forward to something each week (on telly, not generally, I'm not that sad!)

I agree cyteen. I looked forward to watching this each week. I really enjoyed yesterdays eisode.

Yesterday's episode was fab, this series has definitely taken over from Flash Forward for me - top stuff. Thought Dexter Fletcher was looking scarily raddled though!

cyteen Sat 05-Dec-09 20:32:23

That Dexter Fletcher cameo was genius grin Loved last night's episode as usual - it's great to see a show that is so unashamed to be tender. Plus the music is superb.

liath Sat 05-Dec-09 20:41:28

It was very clever, cyteen - when I saw the first episode I remarked to DH how much the Irish lad looked like a Dexter Fletcher form the Press Gang years!

In spite of myself, I like it.

cyteen Sat 05-Dec-09 20:44:11

He is a modern Spike, isn't he? grin Mouthy, anti-authority but underneath it all just a big soft shite.

liath Sat 05-Dec-09 20:49:01

Definitley. Can't wait to find out what his superpower is. DH reckons he must heal becuase he was the only one to survive the probation officer attack in the alternative future bit.

cyteen Sat 05-Dec-09 21:10:16

Well, I notice in the title sequence that his shadow turns into a wolf shape - Curtis' shadow runs backward and Simon's disappears, so maybe that is a clue? But I can't see how it fits into Nathan's persona or the story arc...

Am quite happy not to know though. I'm also watching True Blood at the moment and it's alright, but I've been happy to read spoilers for future episodes/series because I don't really care that much about it. With Misfits, I don't want to know anything!

At last i found a thread on this. I LOVE it.

I thought Nathan was just like dexter and then he turns up as his dad, genuis.

This is defo the programme look forward tot he most on tv at the mo.

All of the actors are fatastic and its just so funny.

iLikeDots Sun 13-Dec-09 09:31:27

It contuies to be brilliant ! Can't wait to find out what his superpower is either.

Cyteen, I also noticed that about the titles, it got me thinking too !

cyteen Thu 17-Dec-09 00:31:59

Very sad it's the last one this week...surely we will find out at last what's going on with Nathan.

BitOfFunderthemistletoe Thu 17-Dec-09 02:56:25

Look out for my DP's mate Daniel appearing as a new character soon.

Bit of fun - wonder wht his power will be lol

OMG did you watch last nights that was fantastic, loved nathan at the end.

bitoffun's comment at least tells us there will be another series wonder when it will be on. I'm so upset this has finished.

cyteen Fri 18-Dec-09 14:58:44

My inappropriate crush on Nathan is not going away blush

liath Sat 19-Dec-09 07:57:17

Argh, series far too short! I was slightly freaked by the ending, though.

iLikeDots Sun 20-Dec-09 20:27:25

I wanted more episodes ! Cant wait for the next series !
