Inspirations

Curtis: So, what happens now? Is this it? We gonna be like this forever? 

Simon: What if we're meant to be, like, superheroes?
Nathan: Superheroes? You lot! No offense, but in what kinda fucked-up world would that be allowed to happen?

Recently, we have been looking at Channel 4’s TV series Misfits as inspiration for our music video. Misfits is a British Speculative Fiction series about a group of young offenders on a community service programme, who get caught in a freak electrical storm that leaves them with superpowers. 

The series debuted in November 2009 and the second series aired the following year with a bonus Christmas special. A third was broadcast in late 2011, minus Robert Sheehan (Nathan), and a fourth series in 2012. The fifth and final series was shown in 2013. It won the BAFTA award for Best Drama Series in 2010.

The "Misfits" are a group of five teens who are united by a series of traumatic events, and the emergence of their freaky new superpowers. These newfound abilities all relate to their deepest personality traits and psychological drives; turning their desires into realities, and their greatest weaknesses into weapons.
