Misfits, Series One

[redbrunja]

So I just finished the first season/serious of Misfits. At the moment, I don't have any thoughts that are burning to get out into the ether but if you, like me, have watched this show seduce people on your flist and are on the fence about giving it a try, here are some things you might want to know before making a choice (pretty unspoilery):

1.) Tone. It's dark but not bleak. This show isn't going to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside but it's also not going to kill your soul.

2.) This may say more about me than I should admit but I did not find Simon as creepy as I expected too.

3.) FANTASTIC MUSIC. Seriously, I would have watched this show a lot sooner if I'd know how great the music choices are.

4.) This show does not have a hot cast (excluding two main cast members and two reoccurring secondary characters). However, as you get to know the characters and get attached, their attractiveness grows.

5.) Brace yourself for the accents.

Yay. You finally watched it. At least you're watching it in order, though. I went straight from 1x01 to 2x03 and then went back to watch the rest, which was a strange way to do things because everything I knew would happen sort of colored my view.

I totally found Simon creepy in most of the first season, but I admit to not finding him half as creepy as a lot of people do/did. I find his smile adorable no matter what.

I admit, I'm spoiled for stuff that happens in the second series (one particular scene was what got me to give the series another try) but I do prefer to watch things in order whenever possible.

He's a little creepy but honestly, not as bad as I was expecting.
