This caper about a gang of friends creating their own entertainment on this and that side of the law brings to mind the best of Shameless.

What are the cast of 'Misfits' doing now?

Here's a look at what some of those cast members are doing now, just over two years since the show ended...

Sophie Davies, Cult Box, 6th March 2016

The sight of nice Rudy lactating is just one of the oddball pleasures to be savoured as the curtain comes down on the orange-boiler-suited community service superpower drama after five inventive and largely joyous seasons. Robert Sheehan, Iwan Rheon, Antonia Thomas and Karla Crome are just four of the young actors to benefit from a career leg-up in this show - and here's hoping it's not long before the comedically gifted current star Joe Gilgun lights up the screen again.

Carol Carter and Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, Metro, 11th December 2013

Things get even darker as Misfits hurtles towards the end of its last ever series, with the gang caring for a group of terminally ill patients, one of whom is particularly resilient. Alex the barman, meanwhile, is punished for failing to show his chivalrous side as a Gypsy casts a spell on him. But it's Rudy Two (the good side of his split personality, so expertly played by doom-voiced Joe Gilgun) who's the real highlight, as he pursues the missing superhero from the future-predicting woolly jumper.

Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 27th November 2013

Unlike ex-E4 staple Skins, which revived its original cast for its last run, the final incarnation of this offbeat supernatural drama is barely recognisable. In episode four, the gang come across a vulnerable old man with a secret, more is revealed about the mysterious woolly jumper, and Abby implores Alex to use his weird powers to, erm, have sex with a tortoise. Rudy's alter ego Rudy Two comes further out of his shell, with Joe Gilgun giving a split personality performance that's a distraction from all the gratuitous weirdness.

Misfits Series 5 Episode 2 review

Misfits never turns out a bad episode when it puts Joe Gilgun's living embodiment of a Freudian slip, Rudy, at the centre of events.
