![Misfits: Series 5 [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91VymKktTeL._AC_SL3840_.jpg)


All eight episodes from the fifth and final series of the E4 comedy drama following a gang of teenage outsiders who find themselves saddled with superpowers after getting caught up in a storm. In this series, Alex (Matt Stokoe) inherits the power to steal others' powers through the act of sexual intercourse, Finn (Nathan McMullen) becomes obsessed with the talent to convert people to Satanism, new group leader Maggie (Ruth Sheen) reveals her ability to knit jumpers depicting the future and an anniversary party one year after the storm leaves the gang facing devastating consequences. Review: Good, but one series too far - A creative and original concept worked very well for three series. The volatile relationships and experiences of these random individuals were entertaining and unpredictable. Series 4, for me, fell short. This final series has hit the spot, but I just wish it was amalgamated with the best of series 4 and it had ended there. The story lines were beginning to lose originality and the powers of the individuals were no longer a surprise. But, it was a good roundup GeForce a series which, on balance, was different. So a worthy 5 stars. Review: Excellent - Just as good as the rest of the series if not better. Rounds of the rest perfectly. Just wish the series had more episodes but that's just typical of British TV. Good ending.

Good, but one series too far
A creative and original concept worked very well for three series. The volatile relationships and experiences of these random individuals were entertaining and unpredictable. Series 4, for me, fell short. This final series has hit the spot, but I just wish it was amalgamated with the best of series 4 and it had ended there.

I'm a Misfit
Wonderful conclusion to the series, though I am a bit gutted that it's ending at all since it's such a brilliant show. The characters are hilarious as always and the stor arc is compelling and a joy to watch.

Bought the box set series 1-4 for my daughter last year and just bought this last series (5) for her. Having never really seen,I decided to watch it from the beginning this Christmas and I watched all 5 series, about the only thing I watched over Christmas.

The packaging was nice and it actually came earlier than it said which was great. I'm really glad I kept watching this show after Nathan left, this season was great and had some really amazing scenes.

Krönender - und dröhnender Abschluss
Überraschung: Das "Personal" zu Beginn der fünften Staffel entspricht genau dem zum Ende der vierten Staffel und sogar der freundliche psychopathische Bewährungshelfer ist uns erhalten geblieben. Ach ja, und Alex hat jetzt auf Grund einer Lungentransplantation eine neue Superkraft - die in einigen Foren für einigen Diskussionstoff gesorgt hat - und die zu einigen überaus absurden Dialogen und Situationen führen soll. Es gibt Teufelsanbetung, Besessenheit, Vaterfreuden und Probleme, Matrix wird kurz zugenickt, Zigeunerflüche und nur noch gelegentlich wirklich kindisches Verhalten, denn unsere "Heldinnen und Helden" werden doch etwas erwachsener und beginnen in ihre eigene Zukunft zu planen - und die sollte nicht in einem orangen Overall stattfinden. Brüllend komisch, stellenweise haarsträubend absurd und auch immer wieder seltsam anrührend, werden hier wieder viele Fragen zu Recht und Unrecht, Identitätsfindung und -entwicklung und zu einigen anderen Themen gestellt. Einiges ist einfach nur abgedreht, zwei drei Sachen sind wirklich blöd, aber am blödesten ist eigentlich, dass dies wirklich (mit einer minimalistschen Zugabe von Behind-the-Scenes-Extras) die letzte Staffel sein soll. Sicherlich etwas, was man sich noch mal wieder ansehen kann.
