    TV: Misfits

    Hey, everyone who wants to boycott Alphas, let's watch Misfits instead!

    It looks awesome. Watching episode 1 now. It's on Hulu and on torrents.

    Cant really tell wich one is worst this is just a bit better than alphas. I saw a few clips of this series on tv while zapping and it felt like a teenage drama filled with outcasts and pariahs with the so called youth problems, bad visual effects and not enough story behind the characters and I didnt like the acting. Still I could understand that some people find funny or shocking the dirty way of talking and filth jokes they throw.

    Misfits is my new favorite show, beating Breaking Bad and Dexter. Best show on TV. One million times better than Alphas.

    This is my new favorite show too. I watched it in one sitting. It's brilliantly fucking written and amazing in every way.

    This is some seriously awesome shit, it's both hilarious and moving at irregular intervals

    The one thing i'm unhappy about is how they teased us with some serious plot in the second season and then failed to deliver.

    Simon is the best character on Misfits. I have never seen such an effectively creepy live-action character. He is also the first character I've seen to brutally murder someone for their own benefit and continue to live a more or less guilt/punishment-free life. He even turns into a sexy badass, and hooks up with Alisha! What an unconventional narrative. These sorts of unexpected twists make Misfits a truly well written show.

    This was definitely better than I expected it to be. The first episode started a bit weak but ended well and having unkle as OST made up for any mistakes.

    The second episode was hilarious with the doggy man and the orgams. Trainspotting meets x-men.

    Can you torrent? If you're really desperate, it's on alluc.org, but you should try to torrent the highest quality if you can.

    I just watched both series, and it is an amazing show! I read somewhere that series 3 will start this month, but not sure if it is true. And yea, my favorite ASBO 5 has to be Barry aka Simon. That "Barry" stuff cracked me up sometimes.

    Not sure why he calls him Barry. Seems like he just randomly starts doing it to piss him off.

    Well, he is pretty bad at names (he said so himself). I think he genuinely thinks Simon's name is Barry. It is kind of funny, to be fair. Iwan Rheon does look like he could be a Barry, especially the way he is dressed.

    I also enjoy Kelly's unrestrained chavvyiness as well ("Do I look like I'm some kind of fookin knob?")

    Watching that show actually kind of made me think of what sort of power I would have if caught in that storm...I am thinking intangibility. On an unrelated note, I love the music on this show. Whoever coordinates the soundtracks has been doing a bang up job; especially with that usage of "Paradise Circus" in a certain episode.
