Misfits

I keep meaning to write about this little show on Hulu that my friend Tony turned me on to: Misfits (written by Howard Overman and Jon Brown), for the sci-fi geeks out there looking for something fun...the show is addicting. If you can’t get past the very thick UK accents, close-caption it. Sometimes, that’s the only way you’ll catch the funny one-liners (trust me, you don't want to miss what comes out of Nathan's or Kelly's mouth). All three seasons are currently available on Hulu. And this is the kind of show that I wish I had written and filmed.

It’s about five juvies who are sentenced to work community service together and after a freak electrical storm wind up with super powers. Yep, the premise sounds like crap BUT this show is witty and raunchy and at times even surprising. The actors are really great and I love Iwan Rheon as Simon. His transformation in the story arc of the show is the most compelling and I’m bummed to hear that he’s not returning for the fourth season. Anyway, if you are tired of reality television and really want a new show to sink your teeth into...this is the one.

Here is my disclaimer:  If you are easily offended by masturbation scenes, gratuitous violence, and angst-ridden 20-year olds then this show is NOT for you.  Peace out!!
