Misfits has ALWAYS been Black Comedy that's it's USP!
The main in joke is that all the Social Workers die in horrific ways and don't last long. Add to that the toilet humour and sexual humour and this has never been a show for prudes.
It's always been let's take the grossest them we can and send it up.
If Sadie wanted consideration, cunnilingus, and endless conversations about the state of their relationship, she should have just got herself a girlfriend.
was a bit dissappointed with this episode, wanted the tied up girlfriend to be dangerous or something, her power was shite really :rolleyes:
and i havent seen one of those talking toys in years!!!
actually cracked up when the elastic band flung off into the girls forehead
interested too see psycho rudy and what the barman is hiding, hope seth hasnt gone for good
Have been enjoying this series - in a way it feels like a return to the dark, basic roots of the show It - but at the same time, it does not have the fresh energy of that season, or the same number of dynamic characters - nor is it as satisfyingly balanced and developed as the second season, or as mature and expansive as the third - it seems to me to be a bit like "diet misfits" - the basic style of it all, the type of characters we would expect, but not as dynamic or interesting, and like the third season or not, this very much feels like a step back rather than a succesful return to what originally worked. Still, mostly funny stuff, two relatively likable new characters, just expect a bit more in general.
I agree about Jess - she's just got a presence on screen which makes her watchable - not all actors have it but I want to know more about the character.
Rudy is just brilliant.
I think we'll see more of that barman - there were too many comments about him for just filler.

I dont even know why I like jess so much - the charater aint excatly that interesting, but there is just something likeable and even a wee bit warm about the actresses performance so far. The series does seem to lack a bit of heart now Alisha and simon are gone, but then again, in the first series, there was no real moral heart or anything, so who knows how the current crop will develop and evolve!
Does anyone else think Series 3 was mostly written by the the time Nathan left and Rudy was basically just put into those storylines with a few changes (obviously the stories including his other self).
It seems this series now they've had time to fully write a script with his character in mind he's improved tenfold.
I must admit for the first eppy, I didn't like Rudy happily cutting off the blokes hand. It always has seemed to me that yes, the characters have harmed and killed others, but always in self defence, so it didn't seem right he would do something so severe. Of course found out it was because of the briefcase mans power, so I was ok then!
I do like Rudy, I think he fitted into the show well. He covered the Nathan role, but by having the second Rudy, made him more interesting. Always thought Curtis was ok, but would've thought he was the weakest character of the originals, but I quite like him still being there as a nod to the earlier shows. I like Jess, it feels like she will be a good character. Not so sure about Finn, find him a bit creepy. But then again, I found Simon mega creepy and I loved him in the end!!!
I never knew that Lauren S got done for the racist stuff, until I came on here tonight. But I did think re the landmine thing they were just being tongue in cheek, something I think Misfits can get away with.
Overall though, I have enjoyed the first two eppys.

I've never seen that. Actually I've never even heard of it.
NOT the clingfilm trick .....

The new probation officer is a right knob. Id like them to kill him off asap, or at least be a bit cocky back.

I did like the conflict with both him and Sadie but seriously, what a messed up relationship in the first place.
Continue to like Jess a lot and her dry wit. I can't wait to see her centre stage episode.
New probation worker continues to be a scary fella.
Intrigued by Lola at the end too.
Amusing subplot with Curtis and Rudy with the racist blind girl and her dog.
Don't care that Seth's gone, though I liked him more in this episode than the last one, 7/10.
I think that was aimed at Lauren Socha
He ties her up to stop her abusing him not the other way around. Season one our heros killed a girl using a similar power on them, she got off lightly
Didn't like Curtis that much before but starting to like him a bit more. Can't wait for next week!
I really hope not.
She can do better than Finn to be honest.
1. Rudy is funnier than ever
2. I actually really like Jess for some reason - she is a bit miserable seeming, but im liking the actress quite a bit.
3. Curtis's reactions to Rudy's rants are funnier than ever.
4. Bit of a step back in storytelling style and quality it may be, but it is still unlike anything else on tv.
Rudy is just brilliant.

I think he still has the resurrection power - not sure if he mentioned it at one point in - but that wasn't such a great power after all was it:D

He's amazing, I could watch a whole episode of just the 3 Rudy's, he carries the show well
