To the surprise of many (or maybe just me), a major character in the BAFTA-award winning series Misfits will be leaving the show “in typical Misfits fashion.” And that person is…

Thoughts
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this episode – it coming just 3 days after the season 2 finale. Would it be a stand alone Christmas-themed episode or would it continue to build on the show’s mythology? It was actually a bit of both. Surprisingly, it was an unmissable episode in that it was a bit of a game changer – setting the Misfits up what promises to be an exciting third season. That they will have new Read the rest of this entry »
Official E4 episode guide:The gang’s superpowers have been exposed to the entire world. They’re ruddy famous celebrity super heroes! And they’re being called the ‘Asbo Five’. Why? There’s serious money to be made – they just need to handle their fame. Ensconced in a luxury hotel, the newly outed heroes become the target of a sinister killer with the most bizarre power yet.
Thoughts
Well, well, well….I really enjoyed this week’s episode. Once again, it was a perfect blend of comedy, drama and tension.
Meet Ollie. He’s an environmental protester starting his community payback. And guess what? He has a power! Is the gang about to get a brand new member?
Whilst out on the street picking up rubbish the gang run into Tim. Tim is aggressive and irrational – pretty much what you’d expect from their estate.Unfortunately for the Misfits, he has taken a particular dislike to them: they had better start running.
Elsewhere Nikki, the mysterious girl from Curtis’ flash forward, has a heart-transplant which causes some unexpected side-effects…
Alisha is mugged but is rescued by Superhoodie, who, it turns out, can touch her without turning into a horny psycho. Nathan and Simon go with Kelly to get her tramp stamp (no offence) retouched. Jealous of Kelly’s relationship with Nathan, Vince (the tattooist) does something weird and superpower-like to his shoulder. On the way home Nathan ditches Kelly in favour of a boy’s night in with Simon. Alisha provokes a fight in the street, hoping to once more attract the attention of Superhoodie. He does indeed come to her rescue, but not before she falls down a flight of stairs and loses consciousness.
The episode begins with Nathan taking his clothes off (much to Kelly’s delight), applying suntan lotion in a way that only Nathan can. Meanwhile, an unknown man is driving frantically; in his boot is a gagged and bound Dexter Fletcher. Read the rest of this entry »
E4′s Misfits returns to our screens for it’s sophomore season (or just plain old Series 2 for us Brits). But can the BAFTA award-winning drama live up to all the hype?
I was a huge fan of the 1st series of Misfits from the very first episode and as I took my seat in screen 1 at the BFI on Thursday night I tried not to let any anticipation I had interfere with my objectivity. Read the rest of this entry »
Last night I was privileged to attend a screening for the 1st episode of the new series of Misfits. Watch the website for a review of the episode.
Before the preview however, I and a few others were lucky enough to get some time with the cast. I have to say this was one of my favourite press conferences ever. The guys are clearly great friends and very comfortable with each other and as you will be able to hear it was a great laugh.
The recording starts when I ask the first question and ends when Johnathon Ross enters the room as he had to change into an orange boiler suit which was funny in itself.
