Series review - Misfits (7)



This 6 episode British Science Fiction series drew my attention lately. Luckily I found it when it was still being serialised. I liked the plot, characters (a lot) and most importantly the message at the end about how are all human beings and we got the right to screw up rather than confining ourselves to ancient concepts like virginity, proper clothing and other aspects of being a conservative society.

The plot is simple but interesting: 5 screwed up youth meet at a community center and start to wait for their probation worker; a monumental electrical storm happens and all of them (except one) gain different super powers. And the storyline starts to unfold.

My personal favorite character is Simon (Iwan Rheon -the guy on the very right in the picture), I like his voice, gestures and semi-sociopath manners a lot. Nathan (Robert Sheehan)'s acting is superb as well and the guy is so cute you just want him to be on every scene with his lovely Irish accent.

Can't wait for the 2. season.
