Misfits (2009–2013)
7/10
I can't stand the new cast

I have mixed feelings about this show. I liked the first two seasons, third season was not as good but it was still watchable and I could barely get through the fourth season. I don't believe that I'll continue watching the last season.

I liked the storyline about Simon/Super Hoodie, Alisha and the infinite time loop; it was beautifully executed. The powers were interesting because they stemmed out of character traits of the misfit crew. The dynamics between actors was great in the first three seasons, although Nathan was missed in the third season and Rudy wasn't convincing as two guys, he overacted a lot. I know that some of the Rudy's story lines (like the one with him falling in love with a nun) were meant to give him depth, but in my view, those were failed attempts.

In the fourth season things really went downhill. I didn't like the new cast, any of them and I just didn't care if they will live or die, be happy or not, with whom will they get involved romantically etc.

On a side note, there was way too much pointless sex throughout the series. I don't mind a few sex scenes if they serve as plot advancements, but that was hardly ever the case. In the fourth season plot was very weak, pointless sex scenes annoyed me and I simply didn't give a damn about the characters - all of them were unlikeable. I give it a 7/10 on the account of the first two seasons.
