Misfits = Crack
So I just finished watching the Series 2 Christmas special and it was a pretty awesome episode. I am absolutely obsessed with this show. I like everything about it from the characters to the writing to the special effects they use for various powers (The slight effects for Nikki’s teleporting power are pretty cool). The fact that each series is only 6 episodes does suck a lot, but more things happen in those 6 episodes than most 22-episode shows.
The Christmas special left us with kind of a cliffhanger. They lost their powers, Nikki died, and then lined up to get new hours after killing Jesus. Sounds packed? Yeah. It was. And I loved every minute of it. I really, really hope that Nikki comes back because she fit in so well with the group. Hopefully someone gets a power related to time, and rewinds everything. I’m realizing now that this may not be a good thing seeing as how they’d probably mess up when they lost their powers and when they gained them back again. I, however, really, really, really hope that Nikki comes back and that fans are going to push for her return.
There have been rumors that Robert Sheehan (Nathan) who is one of the central characters and is the comic relief of the show is leaving. There was a full cast appearance where they stated that negotiations are still occurring and when asked if he was to return, Sheehan supposedly answered that he was.
Seriously though, leave your homework/textbooks/families/boyfriends/girlfriends/friends behind and get to streaming/downloading the show. You won’t regret it and if you do, you probably a wanker.
Cheers.
