	Author	Review
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The attempt to be both a comedy and a drama doesn't always work (...) but 'Misfits' has enough going for it to snare aficionados of the odd"	POS
United States	James Hunt Den of Geek	"Although aimed at a teen audience, the script is accessible to viewers of any age, and particularly adept in making its cast sympathetic and well-rounded (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Alice-Azania Jarvis The Independent	"It delivers much more than it should (...) The script is sassy and offbeat, the characters, while a little clichéd (...) are charming, and the young actors who play them engaging."	POS
United States	Rowan Kaiser AV Club	"I was pleased to actually really like the characters, even though they're presented as stereotypes, they're stereotypes that seem to be given room to grow"	POS
United Kingdom	Gerard O'Donovan Telegraph	"'Misfits' had two further things working very much in its favour: an absolutely cracking script by Howard Overman (...) and one of the most engaging ensembles of young British talent seen on screen for some time"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Teeman The Times	"'Misfits' has enough energy, irreverence and bare naked teen flesh to keep E4’s core audience happy."	POS
