British series «Misfits» since the screens become a significant competitor in the fight for the television awards. It is called as an incredibly powerful breakthrough, and controversial, disgusting, "dirty" movie. It remains indifferent. And this show and can not be ordinary, as he tells the story of the unusual people.

There was a blessing in disguise

The word «misfits» does not have an adequate translation in Russian language and denotes a person is not adapted to any work. Therefore, to transfer the name of the show using the options "Scum", "loser", "Bad". The main characters is as follows: they are from the very bottom of society, restless, abandoned teens. They work out administrative punishments on public works in the city, count the days until the end of the humiliation. Kelly, Nathan, Curtis, Alisha and Simon - not heroes, they can hardly be called decent citizens. Each one of them has committed an offense and was sentenced. In addition, they have nothing in common - they are different.

But in a moment of their lives radically changed. During a thunderstorm unusual in children struck by lightning. Gradually, they discover a capability that was not previously possessed. Simon (Iwan Rheon) can become invisible, Kelly (Lauren Socha) understands that hears other people's thoughts, Nathan (Robert Sheehan) is immortal, Alisha (Antonia Thomas) takes an incredible fascination for men, Curtis (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) can travel Time and correct their own mistakes.

Only now these guys all seem not for nothing, as a punishment, especially because the world around them starts to go crazy. Here is a maniac and the warden and his strange bride - a dangerous psychopath. Heroes will learn that there are other people also get the ability, but using them to harm others. There already have to be a reluctant superhero to save his own skin and deal with the upstarts.

The team of losers

The idea of ​​the show brilliantly simple. In cinematography extraordinary abilities often gets good responsible heroes to save the world, or villains. In the "scum" no heroes or villains. There are people with their weaknesses and aspirations, they take their singularity, but hardly understand it. They do not want this gift. And this contrast is a classic superhero sagas allocates series of many such.

Written by "scum" Howard Overman and John Brown is easy to play with the expectations of the audience. It is not a neat American TV series "Heroes", wrapped in a beautiful candy wrapper so that even the killer is actually a good guy. In the "scum" lack of cruelty, intolerance and violence. For the US, this series is simply unacceptable, it would be considered tolerant and not removed from the air. Unless you can afford to adolescents in the series to swear, drink, take drugs and not to mention that it is detrimental? In England, as it turned out, it is possible. The series was released, and a team of misfits with bad habits has won the hearts of viewers around the world.

Shocking shocking - discord

The series "Scum" is on the verge of decency. But, in addition to a fascinating story, great soundtrack (composer Vince Pope), this project would not be possible without talented actors. Their charisma on the screen in many ways makes the series so memorable and sparkling, they combine their heroes dramatic and comedic notes, while remaining surprisingly charming, even when should cause disgust.

Game Robert Sheehan in the "scum" has made him a celebrity. The role of the narcissistic impudent boys relished the audience and critics. Unfortunately, Sheehan left the show after the second season. After the screening of the third season and in anticipation of the fourth (Fall 2012) The project is rumored to have left the Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Antonia Thomas. It may cost a "scum" of the audience, but ratings (half a million viewers to the series in the third season) will show whether the series will hold the current position.

"Scum" were removed by order of the British channel E4 in 2009. The same TV station at the time issued another scandalous show «Skins» («Skins") about the life of teenagers, quite frank and shocking. "Waste" is a continuation of the story policy channel. However, the series won not only the English youth critics. In 2010, "Scum" won the prestigious BAFTA award from the British Academy of Film and Television in the category "Best Drama Series". Winning this competition means only that the TV series "Scum" - is more than an attempt to tease the audience provocative behavior of the characters. It is for the future development of television.
