Reception [edit]

Critical response to Series i [edit]

British reviews were positive. The Times gave it iv out of five stars, calling it "a new union – salty British street humour with whizz-bang special furnishings" which should "keep E4's core audience happy".[sixteen] An online review by The Guardian'due south Richard Vine said that information technology was "confident enough to operate in its own universe and set up something new" and that it was aimed at slowly presenting the states the "real people" behind a seemingly "tabloid stereotype" of the "ASBO teenager", while too noting that the serial Skins likewise used such a technique for their evidence.[17] The Guardian's impress reviewer Tim Dowling was enthusiastic, maxim: "Misfits is indeed empty-headed – sillier, even, than it sounds – but it's also brilliant: sharp, funny, dark and, in places, quite chilling. Both the writing and the performances ensure that everything simply the preposterous central premise remains entirely believable."[18] The Daily Telegraph called attention to Howard Overman'southward script which, it said, "sparkled from the off, introducing his posse of social outcasts equally a agglomeration of total losers, but each one distinctively and memorably so. (2009) "[19]

The Irish media were also impressed with the show. The Evening Herald called the debut episode "dark, hilarious, exciting and beautifully produced". It went on to say that "the spark comes from Overman'south razor-precipitous script, yet a lot of the credit likewise has to go to the well-called young cast, who are uniformly superb."[20]
