Misfits (2009)

The 20th best programme of 2011 according to the Radio Times.

It's won awards aplenty, even though its subject matter is Asbo kids with superpowers and its language is the ripest on TV. But the departure of cheek-master Nathan (Robert Sheehan) might have been the kiss of death for Howard Overman's concrete universe. Thank heavens, then, for Joe Gilgun, whose sex-obsessed, wholly inappropriate Rudy almost immediately stole the third series. This was the freshest drama around - although probation workers, who invariably came to a sticky end, might disagree.

Misfits: Series 3, Episode 7 review

So far, despite still being one of the best things on TV all year, this third series of Misfits hasn't quite hit the heights of the first two. But that all changed last night, with an episode that finally stands up alongside the very best of series one and two.

Vampires, shmanpires. This year it's all about the zombies - with The Walking Dead and The Fades, the cannibalistic undead are all over the TV schedules. So Misfits' distinctively tattooed super-dealer Seth is treading on dangerous ground when he uses a purloined power to bring his ex-girlfriend Shannon back from the grave.

Soon she's showing a rather keen taste for blood, and then some peckish cheerleaders turn up - after the bloodbath of the Nazi episode, it looks like the tally of corpses is set to rise even further. But where does this place Kelly? She's fallen hard for Seth, so you imagine she won't be happy with a rival - even a dead one...

Misfits takes a couple of gambles, and ups the comedy, in its latest episode.

Misfits, 3.6 - episode six

We're deep enough into series 3 to make some sweeping statements about its quality, and I don't think many people will argue this has been its weakest year.
