Has anyone been watching MISFITS on E4?

He was so horrible and obnoxious whenever he was on the screen but whenever he was absent it was just jarring.

I really liked this show, but fuck this 6 episodes a season British thing, I don't know how you can stand it.

My brother went to college with that guy and has confirmed the "exactly the same in real life" bit. He got better as the series went on i think.

New series starts tonight!

Stoked.

Am I the only one who thinks this could have been improved 100 fold if they'd left out the Irish guy, or maybe chosen a different actor? He's fucking rubbish.

Wrong yet again.

"You buried me alive, you dicks"

Yeah wtf his character is hilarious

Watched the interview on DS and although it's kind of spoilery I don't see it reducing my enjoyment at all.

Excited!

That was good though, wasn't it?

monkeyslut!

Yup. I believe i criticized Robert Sheehan upthread but i think he's fantastic now.

I love how non-stop ridiculous it is. Huge lol @ "I think we can rule me out..."

Was it just me thinking "you might as well stay on the pipe, at least then we'll know it's not you"?

Haven't seen the first ep of s2 yet, but really enjoyed the first series. My only complaint is that the show itself didn't seem to know how widespread the people-getting-powers thing was. The misfits are all 'Keep our powers secret, we'll be experimented on!', but it seems as though half the city has them, But nobody in the wider world seems to have noticed, or to care. Hope they clarify things a bit this series.

That was awesome.

Fast-paced, funny, exciting, confusing, intriguing - hurrah!

fucking brilliant - really good to have this back.

Robert Sheehan FTW and FUIUD, basically.

Loved this to the point where I think I will be re-watching it before I start any writing today.

Nobody?

Really liked that ep. And lots of great lines. Didn't pick the dad as Dexter Fletcher until right at the end.

Tempted to rewatch the images in the time-traveller's eye as he winds back from the future, but I don't want to spoil any surprises either.

I was busy on Thursday night, but am really looking forward to catching up tonight. I will report back later...

Was going to bump this myself, I only watched it last night.

I haven't rewatched the images or read any spoilers (other than noticing Wikipedia now has a column for 'drug-induced inverted power) but I reckon Superhoodie is an effect of Curtis moving so far forward in time - we never usually see him getting there or back, but it must happen, right? So I reckon it's Curtis using the knowledge he gained when he's on the rooftop in costume fixing the things that need to happen for him to get to that position (end of the series?) along the way. Dunno how him saving himself last week works under that logic though.

I must admit, the two main things driving it are that they bothered to show us he was black (his hands on the railing before he left the balcony) and the look to the person on the sofa under the duvet in the flat implying that he knew it was hers.

Nice one! Didn't pick up that at all, but it makes sense.

This show is ridiculous, but also great fun! OTT theatrical-style acting, stuff that only reaches Butterlfy-Effect levels of sense - but I watch and enjoy it every week. Why does Nathan turn up to his community service, fully uniformed, when he's been dead for a number of days?? Who cares? Why hasn't anyone with powers been to see a doctor? Who cares? Why has no one sent the police round yet ? Who cares??

Yeah that's what I thought - seems a bit obvious, tho.

Didn't see that coming!

Seems they either have a lot to cram into the remaining episodes (it is a 6-parter again isn't it?) or they're guaranteed another series.

She had lovely little hands, like a midget's.

Excellent again last night. I dig the balance between stirring stuff and levity that they're striking this series - like last night the revelation in parkour-boy's hideout was really gripping but then 10 mins later you've got Nathan pleading with Simon for some dry-humping.

No talk about ep6? Awesome, I thought, and the payoff line for the Christmas special was perfect.

Was really surprised to find that E6 wasn't the end actually. Hope they get a third series. Curtis's power is a bit too all-purpose get out of jail free, but it sort of doesn't matter. Nathan was hilarious in the one too.

They need a proper arch nemesis I think.

I think there must be series three so they can show Las Vegas.

Love that their answer to everything since the show started is to kill people.

Said at the end of tonight's that it'll be back.

Episode was a bit of a game changer too

"It's when you come, puke and shit yourself all at the same time..."

This is now officially the weirdest show on TV.

Nathan killing the "alien" was truly one of the most horrifying/hilarious tv moments i have ever seen. I hope we haven't seen the last of Ruth Negga.

is she good in this?

I doubt we've seen the last of her, she's hardly done anything so far and is still Curtis's girlfriend.

They're all really good. One of my friends inspired a character in the David Peace book and when filmed, that char was played by Rob Sheehan. I showed this friend Misfits clips last night, ROFLing as friend was going 'wait...looks familiar...whywhywhy does he look so familiar?'

is she good in this?

Her english accent is really good, took me a while to realize it was actually her. Pretty different role to anything i've seen her in up to now as well.

There's definitely a third (and I think it's the final) series been given the go-ahead.

I love the fact that you never know what the hell is likely to happen next. Even the heavy handed foreshadowing (like lactose intolerance) plays off completely differently to expectations.

I'm assuming Ruth Negga will be back because Curtis' only motive for getting powers back is to resurrect her. Although...

the simplest thing would be for him to wind back to before any of them sell their powers and them to kill jesus then. But then Nathan won't necessarily meet the pregnant girl and they won't have the money that jesus saved and I bet both those are in place, and new powers (although I reckon the only one who will have something new is Alisha).

Shit, I had no idea the Christmas special had already been on--thought it was on friday night. DLing now!

Yeah I also thought it was on Friday, now I've spoilered it a bit for myself by reading the thread. Ah well, identity of Superhoodie aside it's not like anyone watches this programme for the plot twists is it?

I don't know what I watch it for TBH. All I know is I'm compelled to.

Sorry for any spoilers - fwiw I had missed it on Sunday too and only worked out it had been on when I had no idea what the alien someone else talked about was.

OMG yes.

Yeah, I get the feeling they stuck that in just to annoy the watchdogs.

The entire last 20mins of this episode was just fantastic. They need to bring the Jesus guy back somehow, he was like a weird rapey David Tennant/Matt Bellamy/Robert Peston hybrid.

Also the Christmas carol was just lolololol.

Love the way Nathan just never thinks anything through or learns from his mistakes. Should I blow my brains out on national TV? Yeah why not. Should I sell my immortality for a couple of grand, yeah go for it.

Was Jesus the same guy who played one of the main characters in Bunny & the Bull?

Totally otm dl, I *knew* I recognised him from somewhere.

omg Mr Veg has got me totally hooked on this; just started Season 1 and I love it!

Found myself really enjoying season 1. Started season 2 and just stopped though.

Not that there was a drop in quality, mind. Just one of those things.

I want to watch all of it right now
stupid work

Season 2 is better

Yeah me too. Did rather like this, for very similar reasons to True Blood - camp, over the top, ridiculous fun.

Just discovered this before Xmas. First 2 seasons = some of the best TV I've ever seen. Xmas special is seriously wonky and bad. First two episodes of Season 3 entirely shit the bed and I am not going to watch any more. What a shame. It goes from a great, cliche-shredding, thoughtfully and ribaldly funny show about "superheroes" set in a dark and shadowy and weird real world, and then suddenly turns into Hollyoaks with charmless comedy characters.

otm. afaic the series ended after the second season.

Recently discovered this show - it's on Hulu in the US. This thread is OTM. Cool to see folks views expressed in real time about what is/was great about the show. And when, sadly, the show abruptly stopped being good. We didn't know anything about the show before watching it. Season 3, episode 1 was so wrong we rage quit. Usually after investing in a show for 2 seasons I'll give them benefit of the doubt. But S3 E1 was so bad, the new lead guy so WTF terrible, we just quit. Hulu tells me they made 5 seasons???

Anyway, the first 2 seasons are brilliant & well worth the time. Just don't open season 3.

it me, iirc

Oh no, actually I just checked wiki and iirc we stuck it out to finish the main characters' arc till the end of s03, but it sucked so bad we had no desire to continue into s04

it me, iirc
