DVD: Misfits: Series Two (18)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Misfits – teenagers with Asbos and superpowers – are back, and still no closer to saving the world. Thank goodness.
It's the characters' bleakly comic approach to "ordinary" problems that makes the show special, and this remains unchanged in the face of an increasingly surreal plot. If the second series just misses the oddball allure of its predecessor, it is perhaps a result of the storytelling's attempt to go one better. Brushes with celebrity and serious crime threaten to overwhelm the clumsily appealing development of the group's friendships. Still, it's compelling viewing, slickly written and constantly innovative.
