quote 05:43:06
“ Rather than being another rehash of X-Men or some other comic book yarn, Misfits is more a classic teen flick told beneath a crafty superhero lens. The powers held by each character make the show interesting, but don’t drive them to act as much as the world around them. Ultimately, the series has more in common with The Breakfast Club. ”
Emily Asher-Perrin makes an interesting case in her post, Happy-Slapping Hoodies with ASBOs and Superpowers: Misfits and Teenage Culture. Worth a read (although as with gurudad’s review, it does give away some of the plot points of the first season).
