WTF/Awesome

Mar 05, 2013 23:04

I ♥ British drama.

Sure the endings ALWAYS worry me (in my experience, they're about 50/50 that I end up raging at the screen). But until then they are so freaking brilliant and intense!

I mean, I had my misgivings about series 4 of Misfits. But that episode with the murderous, golf club wielding white rabbit? Words cannot express how AWESOME ( ( Read more... )

misfits, if he can't do it kimura can!, a shallow subconscious does a kat make, ohnoyoudidn't

Wait, what? So someone cut off his penis?

So Misfits is a paranormal-light, violence+drama heavy British series. People in London who were caught in a weird thunder+hailstorm suddenly found themselves with superpowers. Some are really good (like immortality and being able to turn back time) and some not so good (the ability to move milk). But all powers have something related to what the person was doing or thinking at the time of the storm. So this guy claims that a transvestite who wanted to become a real, full-fledged man was bestowed the power of magically taking any penis she wanted to become a he. And he was the unlucky bastard/playboy who s/he stole the penis from. So his "issues" is the result of suffering for months as an incomplete man who can't get intimate with anyone out of embarrassment (and absolute weirdness) of his secret.

Okay. I really need to watch this show.

:D

Specifically, the story focuses on a group of delinquents on community service who got caught in the storm.

Here's the OFFICIAL trailer: http://youtu.be/ODl-kAhVsXY
EDIT: this link is an actual trailer and WAAAY better. The first one I put was rubbish and showed too much without actually making any sense of it, then ends abruptly. :p

The first episode was kind of meh for me as it was mostly setting the premise as well as the 18+ factor (explicitly vulgar dialogue, lots of violence). It was the second episode that really hooked me. And let me tell you -- the sex and nakedness does not feel at all sensationalised (mostly because it doesn't happen every other episode just for the sake of filling the episode quota for nakedness). AND, unlike American TV, you see more MALE nudity than female. NONE of the female characters have ever bared their breasts (only a few guests and extras) but ALL the guys have bared their bottoms. So extra perks for fangirls :D
