At the risk of a very mild spoiler, I am having a hard time imagining “Heroes” doing a storyline in which the world is saved by reluctant sodomy. ---

My wife and I loved the first two seasons. After that it seemed really shark-jumpy. Fair warning… (Can’t say too much more about it since it’s a no-spoiler thread.) ---

I agree that the show lost something after the first two seasons (especially Nathan), but it’s still compelling TV. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > I agree that the show lost something after the first two seasons (especially Nathan), but it’s still compelling TV. Good to hear. I worked my way through the first two seasons (on [Channel4](http://www.channel4.com/programmes/misfits/4od) via TunnelBear) and really missed Nathan on the next couple of episodes, kind of stopped for a while. I’ll go back and try some more. ---

I also kind of lost rack of Misfits after S2 but I just looked at S5 E1 and it really made me laugh - c’mon the guy just wants to use his cock as a force for good! The whole Scouts thing was huge fun. I still think my fav single line is from S2: “Why is a gorilla wearing a gorilla costume” - genius. Will watch more now \>\>\> ---

We just saw the first episode of season 3 and it was a bit of a letdown. After seeing some of the comments above, I think we’ll stick with it and hopefully it does get back on track. ---

This is one of my favourite shows - a less-than-stellar series of “Misfits” is still better than a lot of the shite that’s on tv right now. “I’m a fooking rocket scientist!” 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/misfits-uk-tv-series-no-spoilers/587182.md?page=1)
