User Reviews

Doesn't add to the series.

Misfits is a charming show, the cast is rather small and the story isn't necessarily deep or really engaging, but it's a quite entertaining show with some really hard hitting jokes and interest plot from episode to episode.

This episode, however, confused me and I really didn't like it. The storyline is three inches deep, and it is not believable at all. Don't misunderstand, Misfits isn't believable, it's a fictional show, but I'm thinking more of how this Nazi empire seems wholly unorganized, how nothing's really changed, except for there being Nazis around, and, I mean, why would they use the community center as a prison if they've occupied all of England? I don't feel that this episode adds to the show at all, and it's a pretty big disappointment.
