Oh, god dammit. I only recently started watching this show, and I really did enjoy the first season but some things left such a bad taste in my mouth. Particularly the girls' powers, actually - the fact that Alisha's power basically makes people want to rape her, and yet it's almost always shown as being something she does to them, because they're not consciously deciding...yeah. And then for the period of time she was using the power proactively, no one really ever seemed to explicitly say "hey, you know, um, this is rape". I liked that Curtis got weirded out about it, but that was pretty much it. I really hated the whole thing with Ruth, too.
I haven't actually watched the latest episode, and now I'm thinking I probably just won't. God, that sounds disgusting. DAMMIT, MISFITS. YOU HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
