Misfits is the story of a group of young offenders in the first day of their community service program. They are hit by a strange lightening which changes them for life. They acquire superhero abilities and the series follows then trying to coop with that and hide their secrets. It is part comedy part drama where all the main characters are interesting and you can see that a great deal of thinking was put in shaping them. My favorite characters are Nathan who is an annoying cocky wiseass brat, the only one who doesn't discover his power until the last scene of the first season. I also like Simon the quiet and shy creepy looking boy who like to film everything that happens in his life including the group everyday adventures and who acquires the power of invisibility.
<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/ODl-kAhVsXY&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/ODl-kAhVsXY&rel=1</a>]]> The first season, or as the British call it series, is only 6 episodes, and all of them are quite good, but if I have to pick a favorite episode it will be episode 4 where Curtis one of the
Misfits, who has the power of turning back time, go back in time to fix past mistake that lead him to be arrested in the first place. This episode give us the back story of all the characters and showed us the different scenarios for what would happen after the slightest change in events. It was quite a joy to watch it and in it we get the first hint of Nathan's ability.
This is one of my absolute favorite TV series of 2009 and I will give it
4.5/5.
