quote 01:06:00
“ Misfits is the greatest bit of British TV in the past 10 years. You will not sway me from this belief. I am a Misfits fundamentalist. In Misfits, writer Howard Overman, has done what Heroes failed to do – created a show with super-powered protagonists and that viewers can actually relate to. He understands the Stan Lee theory of heroism – super-powered characters need to be flawed. We love Spiderman most when Peter Parker’s personal life is in a right state, just as Misfits are appealing because they use their powers as we would i.e. right bloody selfishly. ”
