Misfits Series Three - DVD Review
Rating: M
Released by Roadshow Home Entertainment
Back for a third outing, TV's best superhero series takes somewhat of a stumble.
At the end of the second series of Misfits, the gang of social rejects with superhero powers had opted to trade their powers and get some new abilities.
But in the meantime, we'd been on tenterhooks waiting to see what had happened - this season takes up with one of the gang gone (Nathan played by Robert Sheehan chose to move on) and for some, that could have been a worry.
Fortunately Joseph Gilgun (This is England) joins the series as Rudy and is a welcome tonic and poignant reminder that everyone is replaceable.
This series sees the group take on Nazis, a conclusion of the time travelling story arc, comic book manipulation and a medium's summoning of everyone's past. There's a chutzpah of writing involved and it's pacy stuff - with some great character performances but you can't help but feel toward the end of the series that it's run its course.
Series three ends in a way that feels like it's resolved - but a fourth is on the way with only two of the original gang remaining - it'll be interesting to see how it goes because on this series, the evidence is pointing towards calling time on this crude but flashes of brilliance series of chavs and superheroics.
Extras: A good bunch of supporting material
