Am I the only one who chases unknown icons .... and finds new fandoms?
I'm the kind of person that is drawn by the pretty, so if you have an icon or image that attracts my attention, I will follow as if it were bait
This time it led me to : Misfits on E4
Summary from the E4 Website
Misfits follows five outsiders on community service who get struck by a flash storm and lumbered with special powers.
Hard as nails Kelly (Lauren Socha) can suddenly hear people’s thoughts, shamed sporting hero Curtis (Nathan Stewart Jarrett) discovers he has the ability to turn back time when he regrets something, and party girl Alisha (Antonia Thomas) can send people into a sexual frenzy when they touch her skin. Even painfully shy Simon (Iwan Rheon) can make himself invisible when he feels he’s being ignored, which makes it all the more hard to swallow for smart aleck Nathan (Robert Sheehan), who seems to have been unaffected, much to his dismay.
Unlike their more conventional counterparts, our misfits don’t swap their ankle tags and mobile phones for capes and tights. Instead, they discover what a pain in the arse life can be when you’re stuck with a super power you didn’t want.

The picture above is of my favorite character, Simon. I have a thing for socially awkward guys :D
There are times when you want to hug him and times when you are a little taken back by how strange he is, I'll admit he has his creepy moments but as I got to know him I became more and more susceptible to his penetrating stare.
Nathan is a little shit, but he's so hilarious and regardless of his scandalous comments and shameless behavior you can't help but like him.
There are some slashable moments with the way that Nathan acts toward Simon and one episode in particular that is pure love. There is something about the way Nathan pulls Simon's "pigtails" that makes it seem possible to my dirty mind.
The seasons are only 6 episodes long and it took me a day to watch.
It's funny and interesting, it does have some plot holes (actually it's more like moments when you wonder how no one is noticing what's going on)... but its very enjoyable to watch. Not too dramatic, Just fun.
