I enjoyed the first series, but the series with the new actors seemed too childish. I couldn't get into it.
The last series was superb, if a little silly, as it had a really good running storyline. Season three wasn't great even though (forgive me) Josie Long was involved in the script writing process

I think I just felt a little too old to be watching it... so I didn't, mostly
I saw the start of one episode and thought 'this might be good' but it turned out to be a load of crap about zombies and monsters so I turned it off. Thanks for crediting me with having the intelligence to understand something that isn't all about zombies, Channel 4!

I watched the first episode and thought 'oh, this looks good' and it was.............but one episode was enough
I'm just getting very bored with normal telly..........I can't get into any series, I always give them up after an episode or two.........same with comedies
I think maybe the point is that I just want things on in the background whilst I'm on the computer.........so i don't watch things that you have to pay any attention to..........:D
It's nothing like Skins, so that lazy comparison needs to be put to rest. So, it's about a bunch of teenagers....'zomg it must be skins mark 2' er no.
Well written, well acted, different to a lot of the stuff on tv at the moment. I feel for you if you don't 'get it' because genuinely, you're missing out.
Your opinion is so wrong it's appalling. The UK finally has a science fiction drama it can be proud of.
But seeing that awfulness like doctor who , boring repetitive unimaginative tripe like downtown abby and stupid reality tele are the britsh public's most popular shows I can see why a clever and entertaining show like this won't be appreciated so much.

I love Misfits! Its one of the best shows on tv imo. I can see why people would compare it to Skins, but it is quite different. The only similarities really are that they're both about a group of teenagers, all acted by young (pretty unknown) actors/actresses.
I love Skins, but I think Misfits is better. It just manages to suprise me with every episode. I'll admit the last episode wasn't the best (probably my least favourite of Series 1 and 2) but it still has the humour and the well thought out plots that all the eps have. The acting is great - and for me has significantly improved throughout series 1 and 2. The writing is great too, as is the directing and cinematography.
Its one of those programmes that I literally don't know whats going to happen while watching an episode. For example the last episode featured a man whose 'power' was to turn into a gorilla. It just came completely out of nowhere and although I didn't really like the plot, it still had me guessing all the way through
how about an educated reply rather than, "Nuff said" :rolleyes:
Given the level of criticism from the Anti-Misfits side, I think you're asking for the moon on a stick, it's the 4" brush school of criticism.
I like the show, I'm not a huge fan or anything, that said I've downloaded episode 4 because I missed it.
I find Nathan highly annoying, but you don't need to like a character to watch them.
I was rather hoping they'd couple him and Lauren Socha together so he'd stop being so annoying
I've never watched Skins, X factor or Strictly etc, not sure what that implies though, it's just an aside.

agreed Nathan annoys the bejeezus outta me, but its part of the attraction . Skins is ok , don't watch x factor, or strictly just doesn't appeal..bur I wouldn't label them atrocious, as the OP likes to throw the term about

got my stick , where's the moon?
Just watched episode 4, that was very good.
Downloading episode 5 now, sounds better on the PC with the sub and speakers, looks better on the monitor too.
Just reminded me what I like about this show, doesn't go where you expect it to, it's all out of left field.
Apart from two of the characters getting together, well on their way to it, but their attraction was telegraphed ages ago.
Every episode is an interesting little ride, don't know where it's going, what it's point is, if it even has one, just an entertaining ride IMO.
Just Googled The Acme Corporation in relation to the Moon on a stick product.
Apparently it's been withdrawn from sale due to legal wrangles over usage of 'on a stick'
The Man from Del Monte owns the rights to 'on a stick' from Cheese and Pineapple 'on a stick'
Its one of the best British dramas of the last 10 years in my opinion. Wipes the floor with the REALLY atrocious Heroes... And it doesn't even have half the budget of that show!
Its silly but its meant to be silly... Its a comic book series... Slap bang in your face but it never takes itself too seriously. Fabulous
Never in my life have I gleefully anticipated a telly show like this one. I want the box set for Christmas so that I can enjoy the characters, the story, the music, the cinematography, the dialogue over and over again.
I don't watch XFactor or any of the shows that the 'sheep' appear to enjoy. In fact, my idea of Tv heaven would be a murder mystery on ITV3...I'm not part of the E4 demographics and I hate Doctor Who and anything remotely sci-fi....
YET, I love Misfits. I think the writer is a genius. And for the record, I think the gorilla was brillant.

I loved Nathan's line in that scene... "Why is that gorilla in a gorilla costume?"
LOL
I love how unsentimental this show is... The perfect antidote to all this emo-Twilight-Justin-Bieber loving shite thats around in popular culture at the moment.

The 'romance' in the show is completely unexpected. Kelly and Nathan don't get it on. Alisha and Curtis just fade out - no drama or hysteria. And we've still got to see how they'll pull off Simon and Alisha. I'm confident it won't be some cheesy, happily ever after fairy tale.

Heroes problem wasn't the budget, it's down to the writing IMO.
Budget's got nothing to do with it.
Same with Flash Forward too IMO, stopped caring what was going on and stopped watching.
I really liked Heroes, but lost track of it with jumping around in time and Sylar being the only game in town for ages.
Is that still going btw?
Sounds like Episode 5 continues the entertaining left field ride with this Gorilla business.
Oh as an aside, the 'coming up/next episode' thing on Misfits seems to be following the same annoying pattern as seen elsewhere.
Gives away far too much of the plot points IMO.
I don't want to know anything useful about the plot that happens after the first 5 minutes of the next episode.
I want it all to unfold in front of me, don't care if the clips are taken out of context, so it's misleading as to what's going to happen, even better if it's misleading IMO.

Its like 'The Endz' but with a smaller budget.
Decent cast, no way, inadequate cast with no redeeming features would be more apt.

Er, these are also very very decent shows.
