Figured out to watch Misfits DVDs finally!

[shadowkat]

I FINALLY figured out how to watch my Misfits DVDS on my laptop. (You install DiVXK player and then install through firefox. Also figured out which file to watch first.) So far looks pretty good. Also an aside - Misfits reminds me of shows made for US cable and premium cable - where you can curse a mean-streak and be a bit edgy, with a grittier production value and darker story. If the US did a version of this series? It really should be Showtime or HBO, the broadcast networks would sterilize it. Have only seen 20 minutes so far - because you know bed.

I love it when I solve a puzzle. Whee!!

It's a bit crude for the FCC censors to handle.

It really is crude in places, especially when Nathan is involved. It's also a big part of it's charm in my mind and of what the show is about.
Because you have all this crudeness on hand but then you have a lot of genuine emotion on the other. There is definitely sexism, but like on mad men the women are real relatable characters.

I think Alisha's power remains a very useless thing that becomes rather pointless after a while, but fortunately the writers picked up on that in time and brought on some changes.

Agreed. It's one thing to copy a format and provide a brand new twist or take on it -

I think it's a bit weird, the remake thing. I enjoy QaF US and it's lovely that it's so much longer but most of the time the remakes just make roll my eyes. I never made it past the first ep of Life on Mars US and I don't think I'll look into Being Human. I'm just too much into the originals and the remakes tend to feel like fanfic. Only fanfic that goes tamer instead of wilder than the actual show.

And thank you again for sending them to me!!

I'm very glad they are running for you now and it's no biggy, I'd do a lot more to have another person to talk Misfits with me.:)
