Watched my first three epsiodes last night - how did I live without this show? This is just class! ---

Never heard of it…it looks cool if you are talking about the British show. What’s it like? ---

I only got into it this series - when the first one was on I kept seeing the adverts and thinking “I should watch that, I bet I’d like it” but not getting round to it. When I finally did watch series two, I had exactly the same “where have you been all my life?!” reaction as Laudenum. “Can we \*please \*stop killing our probation officers?” ---

IO9 has been posting a bunch of episode galleries and got me interested but it seems like it’s a Brit-only show. Any idea if it will appear on BBC America? ---

I thought you were talking about a remake of “The Misfits of Science”. Though, from what you described, it seems it’s the concept of Misfits of Science, but with chavs. Am I right? ---

> [@Capitaine\_Zombie](#): > > Though, from what you described, it seems it’s the concept of Misfits of Science, but with chavs. Am I right? That’s sort of it. Selfish unlikeable super-powered yobbos, who are strangely compelling to watch as they self-destruct.
