By the way, this was renewed for a 5th season. Will debut sometime this year.

I'm there.
It might be questionable at times, but it's better than most of the stuff I watch.
Looks like Series 5 will be its last too, not unexpected seeing as most shows that started 4-5 years ago are now coming to an end too, still kind of sucks though, I'll definitely miss it when its gone.

Good decision. Season 4 was terrible on every level and the new cast is underwhelming. The show just isn't what it used to be without Simon, Alisha, Kelly, Nathan, and Curtis.
Oh well. Yes Season 4 was not very good specially the first two episodes, lord.
I still like Rudy, Jess and Abbey. Please, let Finn die in the first episode and since they know it is ending I hope some of the old cast make a cameo. At least Kelly and Nathan since they are alive.

Just marathoned through the first 3 seasons (i'll start S4 later this week).
What can i say, S1 was brilliant fun, if sometimes a bit too heavy on the deus ex machina solutions, but the characters were there and it was a lot of fun.
Season 2 was also very good, but it shifted a bit towards romantic drama, something the series can't do that well, also i didn't like how they dumped some characters out of nowhere (Nathan's mom) completely backtracking on the character's development, on that front.
I also didn't like Simon's actor trying to act not creepy, lol.
The Gorilla episode was brilliant though.
S3 was.. ehm, not good.
Rudy is a great character, but too often relegated at simply being the comedic relief, while it'd have potential to be more than that, and maybe it's better that way, because the arc of all the other characters is all over the place, and everything felt chaotic and disjointed.
Some brilliant scenes here and there, but in general a lot of crap, it doesn't even feel like the same series anymore.
I also hated how they forced them to return to the Community Service, what a load of bullshit.
What they should've done, imo, is leave the classic cast without powers and start over at the community service with a completely new cast.. removing Seth's character altogether.
They can write new, good characters, since Rudy is great, but they just need a strong sense of direction like they had in S1 and 2.

yo urbanrats have you seen this is england (and the series that followed after the movie?). the actor that plays Rudy stretches his dramatic chops big time in there.
i wish they gave him the dramatic scenes in misfits too, he is pretty much just comedy relief in here (and good at it albeit)

Glad it is getting a true ending, most shows seem to missfire when they dont know if that season is going to be the last or not, hopefully they go out on a high and the shows producers do everything they can to get back to the feeling of the first season.
As a whole though I would say season 4 wasnt as bad as many make out, it just wasn't as good as the others it did have great drama at times even if at the expense of comedy, the final interactions between curtis and rudy for instance.
Check 'lockout' if you haven't seen it yet.

No, but i should have it on dvd somewhere, i'll get to it as soon as i have time.
Also, Gilgun was the only good thing in that abort of a movie that was Lockout.
In Misfits (at least in S3) he had a few moments where you could see the potential for something a bit deeper, especially in the first half, but they soon turned it into a simple: raunchy half + awkward shy half shtick.

So wait is there actually confirmed to be another season?

Yes, season 5 has been confirmed. It'll also be the series' last.
Thanks man, i will.
It's a shame they kinda wasted what could've been a very good series.

How can you be in before that when there are plenty of people complaining about it prior to your post?
And my expectations for series 5 is pretty low. Rudy can't carry the show by himself.

I live in the states and fell in love with this show when it showed up on Hulu. I'm crushed it's ending, hopefully it gets greenlit for a US version so it can live on.

Bah, still no release date!
I haven't heard anything about it in quite some time. I don't think it's still in development.

The final season? I think it's the right time to end it, but I'll be sad to see it go. As much as I might have disliked season 4, the show is a guilty pleasure of mine...
Hope they go out with a bang,..

With the way the last 2 seasons have been, I expect nothing short of a "Dexter-caliber" ending.

No. they'll end it breaking bad style.

I sincerely hope not. As bad as the past two season have been (although I'd rate S3 as reasonably good), the writing has been better than that seen in Dexter over the past few years.
I approve of this.

Misfits, despite the drop in quality, is still very popular on Hulu. I believe they've already picked up season 5.
Good for me then. I still prefer Misfits to most stuff on TV, and the seasons are really short so that's a plus.

Unless every one of the original cast members come back and kill everyone except Rudy, it won't be as good as BB's. I've set my expectations very low, especially since "show me yo c*ck" guy has been added to the main cast.

you'll just get name drops. and you'll like it.
they really just need to focus on tying last season in and go straight to the action. they only have 7 or so episodes and they can't show fillers especially for the final season.

You'll get 6 episodes of Rudy's forbidden love affair with another nun and you will like it.
Then they'll introduce "The Storm" in the last episode, who turns out to be an actual person with the ability to give others abilities. They kill him/her in some nonsensical way with the help of the milk-man, then everyone loses their powers because the original power-giver is gone. It works like vampires. Credits.

Sadly, I think both ideas are much better than what we will actually get.
