Review of Misfits

Misfits (2009–2013)
7/10
Youth today in developing countries
26 November 2012
This drama is centered on 5 young offenders whom have been struck by lightning and had to live with superpowers subsequently.

The interesting thing in this TV series is the way youth is showed, which is, through the "super power" : everyone is different, the beauty, the loner, the insensitive, the sensitive, the remorseful. Their super power is enhancing their character, helping them to find who they are and who they are not. Though their differences, they all have something in common, they are lonely at some point.

I think this is a quite a good metaphor of what all young people experienced somehow ; well, I guess, that's a feeling you've got all along your life (ie. finding who you are), the only difference being that you might be more radical when you're young regarding your feelings(melancholy, hope, despair...).

This drama reminds me of Skins(character's study, dark humor), this "Misfits" adding the subtle touch.
