never tapped out of a show so hard

so I used to love misfits as a teenager and recently started a rewatch. Season 1 and most of 2 were so nostalgic and I loved it and remembered most of it.. but as the episodes went on I wondered why I never finished the show. going back thru my old tumblr tags, it seems like I wasn't a huge fan of the simon/alisha time loop storyline as a teen, and it seems like I might've dropped the show sometime around the end of season 2. This time around I actually loved season 2 overall and thought it was the strongest season.

I didn't mind season 3, but the way they wrote off Nathan was very unsatisfying. Rudy seemed like they were trying to just recreate Nathan but it did NOT work for me. The thing about Nathan is that he was such a dick but he had some moments of genuine softness, and he had spent 2 seasons forming relationships with the rest of the group. so even though he was annoying and they technically were all stuck together anyway cuz of community service, he was actually kind of a friend and had a place in the group. Rudy was just The New Guy, who was ALSO an asshole in a similar filterless way, but had like nothing else going on.... except Rudy 2 which could've been interesting except it didn't go anywhere! Basically Kelly and the weird Curtis gender self pregnancy storyline kept me going thru this season.

season 4 episode 1, I tapped out. They brought back Seth and Rudy, the 2 lamest characters, and Curtis who I like but can't really stand on his own. Seth also, was only good cuz of Kelly. The way they wrote off Kelly was SO lame and random (I did some digging in this sub and learned what happened with Lauren Socha which was very disappointing). All of S4ep1 I was just so confused. The money brief case thing made no sense and I get what they were trying to go for I guess but it was just not done well. And the 2 new characters... the guy was ANOTHER asshole type which just doesn't work for me. I think the group needs a softer male character like Simon to balance it out. And the girl, she barely had any lines and I don't think they even introduced her by name. The final shot of the new crew on the roof, with ONLY ONE girl, combined with how chaotic the episode was, and the underwhelming returning cast, I couldn't do it.

I've never made a big ranting post on reddit like this before and I've always kinda wondered why people made them because like who is reading all that lol but I just wanted to put my thoughts somewhere even if no one cares. I'm just so disappointed 😭 I might watch the very last episode just to see what happens.. but idk. Damn.
