If you've been of the opinion that the television industry has run out of original ideas and has just started remaking everything, then The Tomorrow People might not be up your particular street. Yes, it's exactly what you think it is: a remake of the legendary British children's sci-fi series from … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 4, Episode 1 – Dork Review
Running a bit late with this review, sorry, was assembling an Ikea wardrobe. But nobody cares about that, let's get down to it. The naughty Misfits are back, down to only one original cast member after losing Kelly between series, and they've got new characters to introduce and a paranoid heist … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 8 – Dork Review
The end of the year is upon us, which means it’s time for some proper action in Misfits. There will be sex, death and perhaps some dirty jokes. So, yeah, a normal week for this show, but there will be even more of that stuff. Honest. So, how satisfying was it? Was there enough Rudy for my liking? … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 7 – Dork Review
The Walking Dead has just finished its run, but Misfits is here to provide me with yet more zombies, swaying, snarling and smearing their guts all over the screen. There’s a dead cat, some cheerleaders and what appears to be an iguana. This may not take itself quite as deadly seriously as that other … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 6 + Erazer mini-episode – Dork Review
A double-dose of Misfits this week, as we get not only a new regular episode, but one of those online short stories too. This one is called Erazer, and introduces the gang to the closest they’ve yet come to a “costumed super-villain”. Although it looks like Seth might be bending that way in the … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 5 – Dork Review
The third series of Misfits hasn’t been as much of a subplot criss-cross as the last, with the exception of the Kelly/Seth romance, which has been beaten into us quite thoroughly. Well, this week Kelly is in deadly danger – will Seth rise to the challenge and save her? And, oh yeah, will the … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 4 – Dork Review
This week in New Misfits, the show marks an occasion that most do not bother with. Admittedly, they showed it a week late, but it’s the Remembrance Day episode. Well, it isn’t mentioned and there are no obvious poppies, but the close-ups of the war memorial and general message seem dead on. So, … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 3 – Dork Review
This week, Simon to takes the spotlight in Misfits, and I would’ve written a much more amusing intro about that if he’d still had the power to turn invisible. But anyway, he’s a parkour-powered superhero now, with a beautiful girlfriend and the little-explored ability to see possible futures. So … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 2 – Dork Review
Last week, Misfits spent most of its running time selling us on Rudy, their new character. This time, it’s all Curtis, all the time. It appears they’re taking turns. And yes, the Curtis episode is largely about the implications of his new gender-bending powers. So, did it make you feel … [Read more...]
Misfits: Series 3, Episode 1 – Dork Review
The third series of Misfits has an air of the regeneration about it. Not only do we have new powers for all the returning ASBO kids, there’s a new major character in the form of Rudy and... for once, there isn’t a new probation worker, actually. So some consistency. But still, that’s a lot of … [Read more...]
