Misfits 1.4 Review

This episode proved to be Misfits' finest hour yet, as Howard Overman crafted a time-travel adventure for Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) that was afloat with action, humour, drama, and plot/character revelations.

Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 4th December 2009

Misfits episode 4 review

Ah, I feel all warm and fuzzy after episode 4 of Misfits, the message of which was very clearly that to change the past isn't necessarily to improve the future.

Madeleine York, Den Of Geek, 4th December 2009

Misfits shows just how ambitious it really is tonight as it delves into the back story of Curtis, with nods to Run Lola Run and Human Traffic, and just a little of FlashForward's frustrating paradox issues for good measure. A visit from his previously banged-up ex sends the disgraced runner back in time to the night of his bust, which leads to him rewriting history - and putting lives in danger. Meanwhile, the truth behind Nathan's pick'n'mix conviction is revealed, and it involves liberal use of the word "clunge". And what of the social worker's suspicious girlfriend? After last week's lull, this is all starting to come together very nicely indeed.
