They'll never recreate a character like Rob Sheehan's Nathan! In my opinion one of the best characters ever.

The humour and characters did not translate at all to the US... really abysmal... I feel like Misfits would be exactly the same ** IF ** they try to go for a "direct remake" but could be a great show if they just take the general concept of some not-traditionally-heroic-type petty criminals getting super powers but form an entirely new story around that. Not trying to copy the UK version's characters or storylines.
I'd say the US Office is an example of that working, and not working. I know it's a "love it or hate it" sort of show (I personally love it) but for the first season / season and a half they were trying to directly copy the UK version, sometimes almost scene for scene, and it just didn't work at all. A lot of people probably gave up on S1, I'd imagine. After that it went off on a completely different tangent of its own, allowed itself to be a bit more optimistic, a bit friendlier, "a bit more American" and if you take it as completely its own show it is a very high quality comedy. So yeah... basically I'm up for it, but it'll bomb badly if they try to just have "US versions of the original characters". I hope that's not the route it's going for.

It would never work especially on US network TV (Freeform is basically a family channel too). It's meant to be vulgar and unapologetic but it's going to end up being tame and defanged.

i feel like if they want to do this its best to just take the concept and get some gin writers go go crazy with it. This is better than trying to recreate characters and storylines.

ikr. that MTV version over here was a big POS. im just glad im not one of those people that thinks a sequel/reboot/adaptation ruins the ones before it like some Star Wars fans when the prequels came out & think their childhood was raped & decided they needed to pick a side on those trilogies. i can still enjoy it if i liked the one(s) before it or vice versa.

it will bomb badly if it doesnt find an audience more than trying to make copies of the original characters imo. most that are going to give it a shot likely wont even know about the original version.

I can see them going a bit serious with it tbh. It'll be either 'dark and gritty' or they'll turn it into a sitcom styled show. The original show would not translate well to an american audience.
