There's no place like home

I'm ambivalent about "Misfits".


I want to like it a bit more than I do. Partly because I know it's target audience is significantly younger than me (the early twenties market I wish I was still in), and partly because it's filmed in Thamesmead where I grew up.


Now, when I grew up there, there were always parts of town that were rough. And I know that since I moved away parts have got even rougher (I believe it was recently named the fraud capital of Europe).  However, it's both sad and entertaining to see the way it's portrayed as a dystopian-ghetto in Misfits.


But hey, that's not a new thing, as anyone who's seen "A Clockwork Orange" knows.


Still, there's no place like home, is there?
