Misfits

I have this friend from school who is a massive movie and TV fan. He gives heaps good suggestions about what the best shows are to watch and about 90% of the time, he's absolutely spot on.
The show I'm getting hooked on at the moment is a show called "Misfits", which came out in England sometime around 2009. It's about a group of young offenders who get struck by lightning while doing their community service and start to develop these "super powers".
Robert Sheehan - who is playing Simon in 'The Mortal Instruments' (which comes out in 8 days!!!) - and Iwan Rheon (a pretty dang good singer) are two of the main characters in it, and are a fairly large part of the attraction to the show for me, because they're two of the many people I love.
The language in it is pretty rough and there is some violence, so I definitely DON'T recommend it for the younger audiences. I'm pretty okay with the violence and a bit of swearing, however, they do use A LOT of bad language, which is really something I can't stress enough, because I really think it's something that younger kids shouldn't be subject to hearing.
BUT, if you're into a bit of action mixed with the supernatural kind of thing (like me), then this is totally something worth looking into!
Sayonara.
