Critic Reviews
Misfits (2009) Review: Superpowers for the Wrong Kids
★★★★☆
Misfits is the anarchic British series about young offenders on community service who gain superpowers in a storm. Filthy, funny and brilliant, then uneven.
Yes, with reservations. The first two series are essential, foul-mouthed genre television; later series, after major cast changes, are patchier but still have their moments.
