Favortie TV Shows

[BlackSwan]

Watching Jersey Shore is a character flaw.

I'm enjoying the hell out of Channel 4's Misfits.

Pitched as a cross between Skins and Heroes, it's about a bunch of young offenders on probation who get caught up in a storm and start developing superpowers afterwards. They're all spectacularly obnoxious, but in a variety of different ways and entertainingly so, which makes for a fun new spin on the whole superhero idea. They're on probation, for a start, so they're already criminals; criminals with superpowers!

Best character of the lot being Nathan, who spends most of the first season - six episodes, in common with most British season lengths - wondering what his power is and being an outstanding asshole to everybody and still being brilliant.



It's refreshingly confident in it's own premise, and it's got a nice mixture of cheeky British humour and a genuinely grim sense of menace running right through it. I've loved every bit of it I've seen so far. You guys probably can't watch it on E4's online player, but I'm sure it's out there on torrents and it's well worth seeking out. The DVD is dirt cheap too, but probably has a load of music changes; the last episode had, hands down, my favourite use of Lady Gaga ever, and a scene where somebody saves the day in part thanks to Smack My Bitch Up, so it would be a shame to lose out.

It's currently my favortie ongoing TV show.

If you google " "Misfits of Science" nathan kelly ", the first link is to a site with rapidshare links to every episode. Treat yourself.

I am definitely going to check that out, Gemma.

The first "situation" soundbite is my personal favorite.

(And yes, BlackSwan, my character is flawed. I'm okay with that.)

Edited to add: "Big fake boobs."

I love INTERVENTION and HOARDERS.

[amyzzz]

There's a show about hoarding? cool.

[Beef Jerky]

It's actually very interesting. It's on A&E right after Intervention.

All movie discussions go in the movie corner.

All movie discussions go in the movie corner.

Why would a thread just for listing everyone's favorite bother anyone? It's a good way to see boardies' tastes without having to read an over 1000 page thread to do so.
