The UK’s Heroes?
Right, Heroes is over and we’ve all dealt with it and moved on, but doesn’t it feel like there’s still something missing from your life? Sitting around discussing soap operas, suit fabrics and pregnancy with my workmates isn’t anywhere near as much fun as sitting around discussing Heroes. My life just isn’t the same without being able to follow a bunch of everyday, ordinary folks who suddenly discover they have super powers…
Well, worry no more, my fellow Heroes fans, as those lovely people at Channel 4 in the UK have produced their own unusual and different take on the super powers theme. “Misfits” is the story of a bunch of, erm, misfits who discover they all have different super powers after being struck by lightning. What makes this series smarter than the average TV sci-fi show is that the powers each person has are a reflection of some aspect of their personality. For example, the group’s flirty girl can make anyone fall in love with her just by touching them; the quiet guy that everyone ignores can turn invisible and so on. There’s even a wisecracking Irish lad who appears to have no super powers at all until the start of series 2 when he suddenly…. Well, I’ll not give away one of the greatest TV plot twists away in blog, will I? I always hated reading other Heroes blogs for just that reason!
As far as I know, there are no plans to show the programme in the US, but I bet it won’t be long before TV bosses decide to make their own version, as they did with that other great British drama “Shameless”. In the meantime, you can check out episodes on YouTube or buy the DVD box set online.
