Misfits - Season 1 **Spoilers**

Chinafoot

Anyone else catch Misfits tonight? Have to say I really enjoyed it. The characters are all brilliantly done, and there were plenty of laughs.

Although one thing I wondered about...

What use is a power that essentially makes people try to rape you!?

Looking forward to next weeks episode.

engrish?

Just watching it now, its really good. I agree with your spoiler!

shinny

Just watched it too. Seems like it could be a good show. Parts of it are a bit crude, but if you can get over that it's quite good.

I know, that is a weird one. Maybe when she can control it more it's more about having power over them, be interesting to see how they progress that one!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Very enjoyable show... ultimately Skins with superpowers, but good all the same.
Yeah agree about yer one's power, but I'm sure it'll manifest into something useful as time goes on. Really want to know what the other guys power is though and why he was doing community service in the first place. I'll be watching this anyway. Channel 4/E4 scripted dramas and comedies are usually good - they're a bit like the HBO of Ireland and the UK...

deos anyone have any idea when it'll be repeated because i was looking forward to it but missed it..

Hrududu

I thought it was a strange little show but enjoyed it all the same. That girl's power is quite disturbing. Especially from the clips they showed at the end for next week.

The Irish guy annoyed me so much though. Why does there always need to be a smart ar$e character in every show.

The thing I liked most was

how they killed the baddie. No super powers, the girl just kicked him to death. And then they realised that they would never be able to explain it away. So them disposing of the body was quite chilling.

Thats the kind of thing that makes it a bit different than the usual super hero fare. So I hope it continues.

Probably a couple of times on E4 during the week, but you could watch it on the 4OD player on the channel 4 website.

No they changed it back - both UK and Ireland can now use it.

When she touches someone they are instantly "in lust" with her, to the point of trying to have sex with her there and then. The example we saw involved a long touch so I'd imagine it will progress that she can use slight touches to control people.

I kind of liked the fact that the Irish guy was such a pain in the arse. He came across as a genuine prick, which was better than the usual "cheeky paddy" roles.

My favourite character is definitely the "Chav". She's brilliant.

awful so contrived

Anyone watch it last night? I found it a bit slower than last week but the preview of next week looks good.

Yeh saw it just there on 4od, Not as good as the first one now but still fairly alright. Think I might watch this all the way through.

Holsten

Loved the first two episodes.

Irish lad is the deffo stand out, he's brilliant.

Im thinking

their powers are based on what they want most? or what they think about all the time?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Yeah I liked the second episode, but I saw the twist coming with yer one long before it happened - still funny though.

Well,

With Jeremy (the Mam's boyfriend) he talked about how he loved his jack russell and missed it a lot. The chav made references to people always judging her and thinking horrible things about her. So I'd say it's not necessarily just things that they want but things that they feel...like the quiet, shy guy feeling invisible and the runner feeling regret over his actions and wishing he could turn back time. Dying to see if the Irish guy has a power!

But yeah let's guess bout Irish guy

the power to grow his afro crazy long? http://www.performerszone.com/acatalog/giant_afro.jpg I was thinking it could be something to do with his mom hmmm....

Killaqueen!!!

I'm scarred for life after the latest episode. You all know what I'm talkin about :eek:

Loved the bit where he says something along the lines

"If you think my cum face was bad you should see your own!"

Sir Gallagher

What a great show, seen the second ep. tonight then went online to watch the first one, really enjoying the Irish guy his character is such a prick.
The theory about the superpowers seems to be spot on-

I'll add the community centre leader to the list, finally being able to realease all his pent up rage

Channel 4 have the teen/20's genre down to a tee at this stage with this Skins and The Inbetweeners. Does anyone know how long the series is on for? Can't be that many episodes if they're 45 minutes an episode.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'd say 6-8 episodes. That's what most shows get for the first series on channel 4/e4.
