This Forgotten Dramedy Hit Walked So That Gen V Could Run 

If you watched Gen V and told someone you liked it, get ready to get recommendations for similar shows for the rest of your life. Some will tell you to watch Shameless, some will tell about Brassic, and some will recommend you Doom Patrol, and in the end, these people will just call you at night and breathe into the phone.

As a result, you'll spend hundreds of hours watching all kinds of, let's face it, decent shows, but you'll never feel those conflicting emotions again. While Gen V’s direct predecessor has been undeservedly forgotten by everyone — yes, we're talking about Misfits.

At the end of 2009, viewers all over the world became fans of superheroes with a gift from above, and the reason for this was the release of the British TV show.

Nathan, Simon, Alisha, Kelly and Curtis are petty criminals sent to prison. During a storm, they are struck by lightning, which unexpectedly gives the characters superpowers that reflect the personal characteristics of each of them.

Now Kelly can hear other people's thoughts, Simon can become invisible, Alisha can arouse men who touch her, Curtis can turn back time, and Nathan... let that remain a mystery to those who have not seen the show.

We are all used to a hero having a superpower being something useful, like levitation, telekinesis or telepathy. In Misfits, you will see such abilities that are absolutely useless, but indigenously funny. What about a power that gives you control over milk? Or the ability to make people go bald?

Misfits is a unique show for its time that had a huge impact on popular culture. It all started when its producer and writer, Howard Overman, met a group of young people doing community service while walking. It was then that he came up with the completely absurd idea of creating a series about juvenile delinquents endowed with superpowers.

Misfits kept viewers glued to their screens with dark humor, violence, and far-from-pleasant characters. Misfits use foul language at almost every turn, but the jokes are funny, and the characters themselves seem familiar and relatable to the viewer because of their sincerity, simplicity and, most importantly, imperfection.

So now you know which show to tune into right after you finish the first season of Gen V.
