The results are brilliantly funny, wildly inventive, and occasionally very moving - not unlike Skins itself.

It's easy to see why Misfits pulled in a BAFTA Television Award for Best Drama in its native Britain; and, thanks to Hulu, it will undoubtedly expand its fan base here in the United States.

Indeed, despite my initial expectations that the powers would largely serve as a Buffy-style metaphor for youth, the show is generally quite subtle about doing this, using the powers to illuminate character traits, rather than as straight analogues.

It's a new union - salty British street humour with whizz-bang special effects - but Misfits has enough energy, irreverence and bare naked teen flesh to keep E4's core audience happy.

The performances are confident and very funny, and the ensemble gels well.

So, it's kind of Skins meets Heroes in Asbo-land, but so far Misfits is promising not to be as formulaic as that makes it sound.

So I was pleased to actually really like the characters, even though they're presented as stereotypes, they're stereotypes that seem to be given room to grow.

The real joy of the show... is the performances.

Happily, it delivers much more than it should.

Whether the quality stays as high remains to be seen. But it's a testament to the talent of the young cast, in particular, that Misfits blazed onto the screen with such a terrific sense of humour, self-confidence and brio.
