I fully stumbled across the first series by complete chance one evening as I was aimlessly channel hopping and I have to say it was the best accidental TV discovery I made in '09. The concept is wacky to say the least but works well because the story-writing is friggin' awesome.
For those of you not in the know, this is basically it. Six youngsters on community service gain superpowers having been caught in a freak thunderstorm in which one is killed. Their social worker, also affected, freaks out and becomes some sort of animal-creature and tries to kill them. They kill him in the process and subsequently bury the body and spend the series dodging the feds' investigation into his death. Sound crazy? Yup, agreed but as I said, the story-writing is good and each week, we got the back-stories of each of the characters and how they came to earn community service as well as watching the unlikely comradery develop between the five remaining "Misfits".
Series 2 returns this evening (Thursday 11 November) @ 10pm on E4 *happy dance*!!
Yes, I'm sad I know and I'm sorry!
