Look at me keeping up this blogging thing - without further ado, here is Spotlight #6.
MISFITS
This fantastic C4 series ended it's second season run with a Christmas special last night in spectacular style. Perhaps an acquired taste, Misfits starring Robert Sheehan, Iwan Rheon, Antonia Thomas, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Lauren Socha, has rounded up quite a following and won the BAFTA for Best Drama this year as well as being renewed for a full third season by Channel Four.
The dark comedy about five young offenders who discover they have superpowers. Nathan (Sheehan) is immortal, Kelly (Socha) can read minds, Curtis (Stewart-Jarrett) has the ability to rewind time, Simon (Rheon) can turn himself invisible while Alisha (Thomas) sends anyone who touches her into a sexual frenzy.
As usual, C4 pushes boundaries and breaks our expectations. Witty and crude Nathan is the highlight with his inspired one liners and Season Two's unexpected romance between reserved Simon and glamorous Alisha was particularly interesting.
A definite recommendation for anyone who loves contemporary dramas such as Skins, the Inbetweeners or Shameless.
