im on the 5th episode.
Episode 1 was by the best so far, very intruiging.
It reminds me of lost a little bit, involves the plane crash with ALOT of jumping back and forth in time.
Quite good so far and will carry on.

It's got potential so I'm going to stick with it.
On an even more positive note Misfits is back next month according to the advert on C4

After the first series, Lost got more and more unbelievable which left the show with plot holes all over it (i.e: the Others being introduced and then apparently dying without any real explanation). Carlton Cuse even said himself that he didn't believe the show would make it past a single series and they ended up making it up on the spot after.
Back to topic though, I’ve watched it all the way up to episode 5 and it does get better. It still reeks of Lost but it's marginally more believable and has half the bullshit that Lost had. Although I’m struggling to see how they could have more than one series without stretching the storyline and filling it with shite. It could easily be explained and wrapped up in one series.

You do realise Lost was a fictional programme purely formed with the intention of entertainment? 
Who GAF about plot holes, out there stories or the fact polar bears were on a mountainous 40 degree heat landscape?

I liked it, something decent to watch anyway. Do remember one was the pilot, they are bound to get more intracite as the weeks go on.
I have a feeling the president will turn out to be one of them or something daft like that.
