Remember the news that E4 commissioned a superhero series called Misfits, that sounded like teen-Heroes? Well, click above for the surprisingly artistic and moody promo, that feels more like a slick phone advert than anything superhero-related to me. But, hey, I was expecting something a lot cheaper-looking than this, so let's just hope it's indicative of the show's actual aesthetic. Clearly the marketing people aren't going after the geeks with this super-chav series -- well, to begin with. It feels like it's intended to snare the interest of the Skins crowd for now. So, are you excited? Does the fact it's the brainchild of Howard Overman (a decent writer on Merlin) help?
