Title: Misfits
Post by: indie boi on Jan 11, 2011 at 06:44 AM: Surprising that there's no open thread for this British "superpowers" series. I'm not going to say it's a superhero series, but the guys do get superpowers -- and boink like mad! It's like Skins meets New Mutants.

My 17-year old daughter told me about this TV series (but she has not actually seen any episode) as her friends have been talking about it through Tumblr.

I got the entire 2 series in high def, got hooked and finished them all just before Xmas 2010 (there are only 13 eps anyways)... described what I saw to my wife to consult if it's suitable for our daughter. She said "NO", even though I was arguing that the sex scenes were mainly for comedy. ;) Of course the Wife won but I asked her to at least have a look at Robert Sheehan's performance - one of the wackiest characters Ive seen on TV recently.

The last episode of S2 was a wicked twist. I haven't heard of any same type of show where the superpowered heroes can just change their powers to something else.
