24. Misfits
A bawdy, irreverent story of five young delinquents who, while on community service, get caught up in a strange thunderstorm and quickly discover that they’ve been given narratively ironic superpowers. The show would grow and evolve from that initial premise, adding new characters and exploring some of the mythology around the how and why people have gained extraordinary abilities. With that said, it would never lose its pitch black yet still wildly silly comedy.
