Just finished Camelot tonight and wondered if I'd start this, Justified or something else and went with this.

Thanks for the heads up. Excellent show....well so far so good.

Ended up watching two episodes last night. Characters really grow on you quickly. Dialogue is great. Tit action. SFX are passable. Funnier than I expected. It's like a cross between No Ordinary Family and The Inbetweeners but leaning hard to the Inbetweeners. It's definitely no kiddy affair though. Glad I got on board late as I can smash the two seasons without enduring the drip feed.

Check it out.

I'll offer one small spoiler if you want to get an idea of the direction the show takes pretty quickly.

One of the girls in the Misfits gains a strange ability. When men touch her, they are overwhelmed with the urge to sexually assault or rape her. The urge passes as soon as contact is lost.

Finished season 1 in two nights. Ready to start season 2 tonight. So impressed with this show. Such a nice change from all things American.

Just finished season 2.

Such a clever show. I LOVED it. Best show I've watched in ages.

Nathan won't be in season three I've read. They're doing a web episode to explain his exit and the replacement character just before season 3. It's a massive shame Nathan won't be in season 3. I hope it doesn't kill the show but he is a huge part of what makes the show work.

No Nathan? This concerns me greatly... He is essentially the leader if the group. I understand as an actor he wants to do other things but I feel the move will have a negative impact on the show.

Quite possibly the best ("new") show I've watched this year. Really looking forward to season 3.

I don't know if I like Rudy... Part of me just sees him as the new crude Nathan, but the other part thinks his ability could make for some good character development.

It was all about Rudy, so there wasn't too much overall story or much about the other characters. Hopefully it picks up a bit next ep or it's proof that Nathan was the show.

Definitely missing Nathan. Nevertheless, I think the writing is still strong and the show seems to have taken an even darker tone. I like Rudy. He could definitely grow on me. But Simon is an excellent character. I think he could carry the show for quite a while before they send him into the past to die. It feels like they know where they're taking the story.

But yes, I too miss Nathan.

i think the first ep was fine..new character really grew on me

i dont miss nathan he clearly felt he was too big of a star for a show such as this..so frankly he can go get fucked because the writing in this show is still top notch and they will undoubtedly carry on as strong as ever

agreed, writing is top notch and the other characters carry the show fine. I think i'll need a few more eps for the new character to grow on me

I didn't dislike the ep, I just wished there was more for the other characters.

Next ep should tell us if they still have the goods.
