‘Misfits’ Series 5 Episode 7 review

So far this series we’ve held off giving any episode of Misfits the full 5 stars. Partly because none of them have been perfect.

When Misfits ends two weeks from now, we’ll all likely have to go sit in a quiet room with a joke book, a rubber chicken, and a Morecambe & Wise VHS, in order to recalibrate our sense of humour.

Even if that’s just eating mustard.
