Misfits S2 - DVD Review
Misfits Season 2
Rating: R18
Released by Roadshow and BBC
A second season of the brilliant series about five outcasts given
superpowers when a storm strikes them as they work to fulfill
community service obligations.
This time around, a masked superhero is stalking the gang and it
appears many others have gained powers in the storm - and are
making life difficult for them.
As ever, a mix of crudity, humour, great oneliners and some smart
stories give Misfits the chance to rise out of the mire that
sometimes can be superhero shows.
In this seven episode series, there's a bit more heart on display
as well as some gross out moments; the writers have gone further to
give the gang a bit more depth and the Superhoodie storyline
surprises on many levels.
Throw into that mix, a bold final episode which gives the gang the
chance to change their powers and you've pretty much got a blank
canvas for the upcoming series - Misfits continues to excite and
amuse in equal levels and it's well worth investing seven hours of
your life in.
Rating: 7/10
