Do you watch Misfits?

[skips]

Thanks to Hulu, I've recently become addicted to watching Misfits. I've just finished watching the Christmas special and series two.

Any fans of the show out here in JUB land?


Here's a trailer for series one:

[stacy]

I haven't started it yet but I swear I am going to get to it. Don't rush me

The trailer looks wicked

[skips]

No rush. I'll be sure not to spoil anything for you either.

[stacy]

Much appreciated.

[braex27]

Yes yes yes! I have seen both series and the Christmas special. Excellent show. The characters all grated me at first but they grow on you - and fast!

[bostonboy20]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW! Can't wait for the new season!

I think I need to re-watch the first 2 "series" sometime soon it's been to long since I finished them!

[skips]

I am addicted to this show but I've finished the first 2 series and the Christmas special and now there are no new episodes left to watch on Hulu.

I fell in love with Kelly in the very first episode. Her accent never fails to put a smile on my face.

A favor though, guys: If we talk about any of the episodes can we please say something like 'spoiler alert' first and then follow these instructions to avoid spoiling it for people who are still catching up on watching the show?

Awesome.

[bisuperboi2007]

I watch it and it is awesome. It's like Skins meets Heroes

[justdra]

Can't say I ever heard of it, I use to watch a show on NBC called Misfits of Science, but that was probably before your time, lol.

[thatgirl]

Yes, I watch it. I got into it when it first aired and although the premise seems silly and a bit unoriginal, everyone should give it a chance. It's an awesome show.

But I'm sad that Robert Sheehan has decided to leave the show. It just won't be the same without him.

Nathan will be written off in an online short film being released Sep 15th (before Series 3 kicks off later this year).

[menRsexii]

YES!!! I love that show! My friend recently started watching it and got me addicted! Can't wait for the new season to come out

[neoachilles]

I absolutely love this show! Can't wait for the next series to begin. Nathan--that mouthy little fuck--has my heart. Between the accent, the hair, the attitude, and the lovable douchebagery, he is my favorite character. I loved that episode in the second series where he gets mindfucked by that tattoo artist. No spoilers, really, for those who haven't seen the episode yet, but here are all of Nathan's clips from that particular episode.

[braex27]

I love Nathan. He's such a jerk but sooo loveable.

[neoachilles]

Where the frak is Nathan?!

[thatgirl]

^ Like I said above, Nathan was written off the show. The actor who plays him had scheduling conflicts.

Anyway, the online episode of Nathan's departure premiered today:

I couldn't view it on e4.com cos I'm not in the UK.

But someone ripped it and put it on youtube:

[thatgirl]

As for the series 3 trailer, it looks really good.

I think I'm going to like the new character Rudy a lot. I hope they won't try to mold him into a substitute for Nathan tho.

I've only seen the actor, Joe Gilgun, in This is England (the film and series) but he's really awesome.

[neoachilles]

^^Sorry about that, idk how I managed to overlook that bit of news. Well, that sucks about Nathan; like I stated before, I loved him best. Oh well, here's hoping the newbie can make me a believer.

[braex27]

Hahaha - loved it. I agree, thatgirl, they should build Rudy as a character in his own right and not try to turn him into Nathan 2.

Can't wait.

[Ram]

I can't wait for season three!



This show will be different without Nathan though.

[thatgirl]

With some of the reactions I've been seeing online (about Rudy), I'm starting to get worried that a lot of people will simply stop watching the show now that Robert Sheehan/Nathan is gone. If Misfits end up failing in the ratings as a result of that, I'll be annoyed.

The weirdest complaints I've seen tho, have to do with the new actor's appearance and accent. First of all, the guy is not hideous but I agree that he looks older than the rest of the cast but so what? And his accent is totally not that hard to understand. lol Wtf. How are you even understanding the other cast members if you can't get what he's saying? It's like people are just looking for any crappy excuse to avoid giving him a chance.

Honestly, I think Nathan's great but I didn't watch the show only for him. Besides, it's been mentioned that now that he's gone, other characters, which have been kind of ignored (like Curtis), will get more screen-time and development. Which is always a good thing.

Haters gon hate. I'm going to give it a chance.

[Ram]

I find him cute. I am going to watch for sex reasons.

[braex27]

I am just loving Kelly's line in the trailer:

"What the fuck is brunch?"

That inimitable accent. Love it.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

i think she is my favorite. "i love the police".

[braex27]

I am also hot for Iwan Rheon who plays Barry, I mean Simon!



He's an Olivier-award winner who was in the brilliant Spring Awakening and is a solo singer on the side too.

Here he is in Spring Awakening:

And singing in the Welsh language:

this tumblr is like crack:

and this gif is cracking me up. oh Nathan.

[thatgirl]

NGL, I was too distracted by how scary and creepy Simon was at first to notice the hotness of Iwan. But then I saw him nekkid and my shallowness kicked in.

I find him cute. I am going to watch for sex reasons.

lol, I'm not sure I'm at that stage (yet?). He's crush-potential tho.

There's something really sweet about him. He's charismatic and funny. And he's def a scene-stealer.

The only REALLY gorgeous model-like cast members are Robert, Antonia and Nathan. The others looks are average-hot. So I don't get what the big fucking deal is that he's not stunning or something. But it doesn't help that Google Image has the fugliest photos of him. This one is cute tho:





Anyway, I want Rudy and Kelly to get together. I 'ship it already. lol <3

[thatgirl]

Everyone, the S3 premiere is Oct 30th. Tomorrow.

Misfits: Series 3 Episode 1 Clips:

[ShyNerd3112]

OMG i llove this show soo bad!!!!!

I cant wait for season 3 (ithink) to be out in the uk. I love simon so much...i like his shyness and well hes just fit!

[thatgirl]

The S3 premiere was amazing imo. I can't wait to see the gang exploring their new powers.

I LOVE Rudy to bits already. Surprisingly, I didn't find myself even missing Nathan. At all. Totally was not expecting Rudy's character to be like that...Very interesting. Rudy has so much more potential as a character and is already more well-rounded than Nathan after only a single episode. He's more than just the comic relief unlike Nathan, tbh. As much as I liked Nathan, I think the show has moved on perfectly without him.

All in all, very excited. S3 is off to an awesome start.

[Zack911]

YES I DO!! everyone should watch it! its a great show =D

[glasvegas]

Is good to see them back! But their powers is getting lame. LOL-ed at Curtis gender swap and Kelly's accent still sexy.

Haha if i was talking to someone like that in real life id just want to slap them silly and shout "speak proper english" but i love her xD

[Ram]

Who's Nathan again?

oh man..completely agree...I'm already in love with Rudy...LOL...I love unconventionally sexy people...and he's hilarious at the same time

[thatgirl]

Who's Nathan again?

lol, awww.

Same. Kinda feel bad tho. haha

oh man..completely agree...I'm already in love with Rudy...LOL...I love unconventionally sexy people...and he's hilarious at the same time

Mm. Yes. I do find him quite sexy, now. He has a nice body, too.

[FuryOfFirestorm]

Been looking forward to Season 3. I'm going to miss Nate, but at least the rest of the cast is still around, so I'm not complaining.

[glasvegas]

oh man..completely agree...I'm already in love with Rudy...LOL...I love unconventionally sexy people...and he's hilarious at the same time

He is 10X funnier than Nathan. Now I wonder if Nathan is going to be back on Series 4?

[thatgirl]

^ lol forever.

Curtis is a zillion times more interesting with his new power. I thought he always had the weakest characterization of the bunch but this episode really made me love/appreciate him more. Fuck, that was awesome and hilarious. And I think I'm kinda gay for "Melissa."

Melissa's exchanges with Simon = Adorable. And why am I suddenly shipping Rudy & Curtis? Unf. At this rate, I'll be shipping Rudy w/ everyone. Wtf.

A+. Hopefully after this episode fandom will stop shitting on Curtis. lol

[reone]

Thanks for recommending this show, Skips. I found this thread a while ago and gave the show a watch and become addicted almost immediately. I somehow managed to watch both of the first two seasons during mid-terms lol. I can't wait to see the third.

[glasvegas]

Did Misfits just showed Curtis cock?

[thatgirl]

Did Misfits just showed Curtis cock?

Yeah, there was a penis peeking out from under the dress.

But, it could have been a prosthetic or a body double, I guess.

I didn't even notice it until I read some reactions online. lol

I was like, they did not just show that on tv. It was a fun episode. Couldn't stop laughing when Curtis got his first period and Rudy's puking out Melissa's pube

[bostonboy20]

maybe I'm just stupid but what does "shipping" mean in the way you're using it?

[thatgirl]

maybe I'm just stupid but what does "shipping" mean in the way you're using it?

No worries.

It's just a way of saying you'd pair up characters in a relationship (often in a romantic/sexual sense).

Urbandictionary has good definitions for: ship & shipping

Couldn't stop laughing when Curtis got his first period and Rudy's puking out Melissa's pube

LOL. It was a mess. And Kelly offering to help him with tampons. Also the part with Melissa pissing all over herself because she needs to "work on her aim."

The episode had some VERY dark and thought-provoking themes but the funny parts were amazing.

[bostonboy20]

am I the only one that kinda wouldn't mind getting taken in the backseat by the track coach/rapist? lol...dude was hot

[thatgirl]

S3 episode 3 was cool but it made me realize that I'm kind of over Simon & Alisha's romance/relationship. I got swept up in it at first but...For some reason, it's just not working for me anymore. It's like they're smothering each other and it makes them kind of dull to watch as a couple.

The next episode looks super good tho. Nazis? Wut.

I haven't watch the new episode but Simon is absolutely boring. He was interesting at first ( his personality somehow reflected my old self ) then it started to went down hill after the super hoodie thing. He is trying too hard to be something he wasn't to be. That is real painful to watch.

I love Kelly. Among the group, she is the one who shows that she cares for others.

[thatgirl]

He is trying too hard to be something he wasn't to be. That is real painful to watch.

^ Yeah I think that's it, that is part of what's bothering me. I miss the old Simon who was slightly crazy/creepy. And the wild Alisha was kind of bitchy and selfish.

It seems like Simon and Alisha's character arcs are relying too heavily on them being in love/a couple and that is just super boring, having them develop only in the context of a romantic relationship.

[braex27]

Is anyone else seriously crushing on Seth (aka Matthew McNulty) or is it just me?!
