I watched the first episode, but may not make it to the second, It didn't hook me. I can't shake the feeling it is like a less epic "Heroes". I mean... from a certain perspective, it is. If Heroes is the X-Men, then Misfits is... I dunno, X-Statix? Runaways? Something much less epic, but better because of it.

Definitely not X-Statix, based on the first episode; weren't X-Statix the super hero reality stars?
This kind of strikes me as a bit of the Thunderbolts in the sense that they're all criminals, but it's kind of like Runaways in that, well, they're on the run. Which, of course, leads me to my original point that it's good because it's a new idea and it isn't really 100% like anything else. It takes bits and pieces from all over, but puts it together to make one, different unit.

I was incredibly bummed to find out that this thread was not, in fact, about a really cool band. Haha, if it's any consolation, the message board that directed me to this show had the same thread title and I made the same mistake at first.

OK you convinced me to give it a second chance. I hope the characters grow on me.

They haven't convinced me. The show looks pretty abysmal.

Yeah, the Lactokinesis kid was... way more lethal than one would imagine. Yes, WK, it is abysmal. Wonderfully, gloriously abysmal.

They haven't convinced me. The show looks pretty abysmal. ... If only these boards had a "like" button.
