I'll take a look, too. I'm finishing up Season 2 of Being Human and just finished Season 2 of Misfits. BBC shows are superior to most American shows not only because of the dry wit but the lessened censorship allows for more freedom.Originally Posted by BC2012
Haven't seen season 2 yet, but season 1 of Misfits was really good.

What's Misfits about?Originally Posted by Rambo
Umm....it's sort of a "realistic" take on the idea of normal people getting superpowers in a freak storm. Except in this case the normal people are a group of kids performing community service.

And it's hilarious (in that dark British way) while maintaining nice character development and a solid plot. Between Misfits, Being Human, and the Inbetweeners, I barely watch American TV. Hell, when Doctor Who comes back, I'm certain it'll be BBC only on my box.

An easy read. Fairly evocative. The lady above was in one of the two recent Bond filums.Originally Posted by Britalian

Thanks for the reviews guys. I'll put Misfits on my watch list and check out one of the books. Which one relates to the TV show?
did a search on the torrent. The link is on page 1 but you need to register. Also I think it airs every sunday.Originally Posted by Jodum5
Ah, didn't know the air date. EZTV doesn't usually show up British TV so I had no idea it was out and available for download.
