to much jokes of a sexual nature for my taste in this series.

one of the main characters can take powers away by shagging people. (the guy who had his nob stolen last series....)
cue gay sex scenes and nob jokes

stupidly childish like they can't think of anything funny without some kind of sexual reference

It's a shame the final two or three seasons were weaker than the first two or three but that's kind of how all televisions programs are really. I can't think of many that get better or stay level.

Regardless of 4od I think I'll wait until next week to see how the final ever misfits episode ends it all.

For me this series has been far better, mainly because it's had plenty of fairly stupid humour like the first rather than trying to be serious like the last. The last ep was especially good.

Having watched the Finale I wish they'd stopped after Season 3 when Simon goes back in time to save his GF. That would have been a better point to stop as these last two seasons have been flat in comparison and the finale was just a normal end of season episode rather than a final farewell to the characters.

Oh man, made it to around just after the middle of S3 and I really can't go any further. The first two seasons were awesome and very funny (mainly due to epic lines form Irish guy), but the third is just pee-poor, and that new replacement for the Irish guy "Rudy Wade" is just bloody awful. I literally have no interest in going any further.

Ze bumpage!

Yeah, it's not as good as the earlier series. I hated Rudy at first too, yet he does grow on you and can be hilarious at times. In the end, I thought he was alright.

It is weird with all new characters, but stick with it. You've come this far.

Looks like this is the latest show to 'need' a US remake. Normally just that word remake is enough to make make me groan but its being done by Freeform (ABC FAmily) who make the likes of Shadowhunters which is tripe. Their programming is very similar to MTV who cancelled the US remake of Skins because advertisers didn't want to advertise anywhere near a show that corrupted their youth. The same thing will happen with Misfits unless they water it down so it's even crapper than its likely to be on that channel anyway.

Shame. Not unexpected with the superhero craze but unlikely they will stay true to the UK version. Nathan's line 'i'm immortal!' will always be on of my favourite TV lines/reveals.

US Office and Shameless remakes seemed to have done a very good job. However, if it's a company like Freeform, then it doesn't look good.
