Five juvenile offenders with nothing in common find themselves working together on a community service project, and their differing personalities soon cause sparks to fly. But that's nothing compared to what happens when a freak electrical storm hits town. Shortly thereafter, they find that they are developing superpowers. Paranoid Kelly can now hear the thoughts of others, while Simon, who has always been overlooked, can suddenly make himself invisible. Curtis can turn back time, while Alisha finds that anyone who touches her will lust after her. Nathan, to his chagrin, seems to have suffered no aftereffects of the storm. Now, on top of dealing with the realities of teenage life and finishing their service project, they must figure out how to handle their new abilities and find out just what, if anything, they are expected to do with them.

Maricela Gonzalez Entertainment Weekly 04/25/2018
Series creator Howard Overman has maintained a roster of fascinating, bizarro characters from Alex the handsome barman to the brilliantly crass yet ultimately sweet Rudy. Go to Full Review Rowan Kaiser AV Club 04/25/2018

Judging by this admittedly entertaining opener, Misfits none the less feels like a series in transition - and a world away from the show that won a Bafta in 2010. Go to Full Review Keith Watson metro.co.uk 04/25/2018

If the rest of this farewell season is as good as this, then we'll be going out on a high. Go to Full Review Morgan Jeffery Digital Spy 04/25/2018

Not perfect then, but the Misfits series five premiere is a solid enough launchpad for a final run of episodes that I'm still hoping will restore a once-great series to a little of its former glory. Go to Full Review Luciana Villalba The Young Folks 12/13/2013
This episode had powers, drama and classic Misfits ridiculousness, I have a feeling that Howard Overman will have an epic ending in store for those of us who have been watching this show from day one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ken H @RT61929080 02/07/2023 After all, the main characters left the show just kinda fell flat See more 11/21/2016 More strange shifts in powers, including one (male) character that has to have sex with people to take away their unwanted power? That includes the GUY who was turned into a demon. Yes, they literally showed these two straight guys have sex so that one would rid himself of satan’s spawn. No joke. And that was just the first episode. Episode 3 was really interesting, about a girl who brings her imaginary friend to life, along with “Scary”, her childhood fear. This could have turned out to be a great storyline, but, unfortunately, like the bunny man episode the previous season, “Scary” is killed WAY too easily. Then there was the episode where one of the gang is asked, and almost goes through with, having sex with a turtle. That’s what this show has turned into? Kind of funny, I guess (sorry, PETA). Glad it ended here, not sure any more seasons would be bearable. See more 06/25/2015 Appropriate that it ends here. The series is still good, and if there were ever more seasons I'd be sure to watch them, but the quality has well and truly dipped since the first couple of years. That's what happens when you set the bar so high out of the gate I guess. The the overarching character development is tied together woefully loosely, the relatable stories aren't as relatable, the fun stories aren't as fun, and answers to questions may not be as good as the questions themselves. Still a good bit o' telly though. See more 07/12/2014 Misfits is an extraordinary show that manages to mix paranormal-horror, humour, and the view of young adults perfectly. The first three seasons of this series is dynamic with fantastic, twisting story-lines, and while the fourth season drops as main characters change due to actor issues, it is unfortunate the show was cancelled after finally regaining ground and strong plot in the fifth. I am yet to find another rival show with the same memorable, quirky characters and stories as this. See more 03/30/2014 The show is fantastic and unusual, despite all its ridiculosness it is very deep and sensitive at the same time. What I personally like the most is the the precise cast choice, all the characters are outstanding. Thanks all the guys for such a job. My life has changed. See more Read all reviews
