Sometimes It's Good To Not Fit In

I am in love...(no, T-Pain- not with a stripper) I'm in love with a show and its name is Misfits. This show is on its 3rd season, and it just keeps getting more and more interesting. Misfits centers around a group of young offenders who serve at a community center. This little gang of miscreants was given superpowers by a mysterious storm- these powers included invisibility, the power to read others' thoughts, etc. The gang has since swapped their original powers for different ones. The young offenders were not the only ones to gain superpowers in the storm. Each episode has the group battling surreal circumstances, most of which involving the use (or misuse) of superpowers. The show is irreverant, sexy, funny, and all together amazing.
A lot of Misfits fans are bemoaning the loss of Nathan (the adorable Robert Sheehan) and they keep comparing his character to that of Rudy, the newest young offender. I think that's pretty unfair to the new guy- he hasn't had a chance to really develop. We've known and loved Nathan for two seasons, we should at least give Rudy two seasons to grow on us. Besides, Rudy wasn't a replacement for Nathan, (although they both have the same funny, quasi-annoying personalities)He is a character in his own right.
Misfits is on Hulu, so please watch it. I love it, love it, love it! If I love it so much, why don't I marry it? Well, I tried, but it's apparently illegal in several states. Ah, America!
