The third series of Misfits has an air of the regeneration about it. Not only do we have new powers for all the returning ASBO kids, there’s a new major character in the form of Rudy and... for once, there isn’t a new probation worker, actually. So some consistency. But still, that’s a lot of … [Read more...]
Misfits: Christmas Special – Dork Review
The festive Misfits is here, providing me with a long-awaited excuse to put something other than a dull episode number in the review title. It also contains a much more exciting end to the current series. So perhaps this was planned all along and all that whining in my last review was a bit … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 2, Episode 6 – Dork Review
After a series that has firmly established E4’s Misfits as one of the most creative and fun mainstream shows the UK is currently producing, we have the kinda-finale of the second series. “Kinda” because it was the final episode in this run of six, but in actuality, we have the Christmas special … [Read more...]
Misfits – Series 2, Episode 5 – Dork Review
As Misfits has continued, they’ve worked their way through the big taboos in swearing, sex and violence, and this week, they finally cover one of the big ones. In fact, it’s more or less only incest left now. Can’t wait for that to turn up. And it’s not even the only disturbing sexual event in … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 2, Episode 4 – Dork Review
This series of Misfits is flying by, isn’t it? I spend so many TV reviews nowadays talking about incrementally progressing subplots or clinging rigidly to a status quo (yes, I am talking about Merlin), and this show is untroubled by any of this stuff, barrelling forward on a wave of mad ideas and … [Read more...]
Misifts: Series 2, Episode 3 – Dork Review
In the formulaic world of British TV drama, Misfits often stands alone, thanks to its unpredictability and sheer bad taste. And this week, it launches itself from the pack again by virtually resolving the big mystery of the year in the third episode. Maybe I’ve been beaten into submission by … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 2, Episode 2 – Dork Review
Now that Nathan has been excavated, the non-superhero non-team of Misfits get back to the important business of going clubbing and having accidents with their powers. Oh, and more of the mysterious masked man we’re apparently calling “Super Hoodie”. So did it hit the magical Misfits sweet spot of … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 2, Episode 1 – Dork Review
After a busy year, in which they won a BAFTA and suchlike, E4’s Misfits is back! The Skins/Heroes hybrid turned out to be better than any of us expected, and has been rewarded accordingly. The new series, happily, picks up where the last one left off, with hardened smart-arse Nathan accidentally … [Read more...]
Misfits – Series Two Is Coming
The new series of Misfits is almost here, starting on E4 on Thursday 11th November. Which means more unvarnished super-power abuse, twisted humour and, somehow, weirdly touching moments. I personally enjoyed the hell out of that show, as indicated by the impassioned ode to Misfits that I posted … [Read more...]
3 very funny reasons why E4 rocks this autumn
Whether you're looking for something to fill the gap Big Brother has left in the TV schedule (really?), or you just fancy some belly chuckles to see you through the colder months, flicking over to E4 is a fairly safe bet. Hopefully you'll have seen the trailer for The Inbetweeners by now and … [Read more...]
