I think showcase just started airing this, I've only seen a couple episodes, one including the fucking of a lady who is actually an old lady who turns into a young lady during lightning storms or some shit, it's p funny and interesting to watch.

oh.. wait[/QUOTE]
Better then the show IMO :v:
I love Nathan. Kinda feel bad for him though, with what happens in the final episode.
I fucking love this show, like skins with superpowers, but 10x more interesting.
And Nathan is fucking hilarious.

I watched this when it was aired in the UK. Great series.
I loved it and hope there is a season 2 :ohdear:
I thought it was fantastic. And they said that they're making a second series. Nathan = best character ever of all time.
It's good. Episode 6 is really funny. I can't wait for Series 2 and too see what happens to Nathan. I think the general speculation is that the mind reader goes to visit his grave, hears him thinking about how much it sucks being buried alive and digs him up.

Just watched Season 1 today after I stumbled upon a site that said it was similar to Heroes. It wasn't, at all, but it was still an awesome show. Perfect mix between comedy and drama, and I like the fact it doesn't revolve around the super powers as much, but simply around the characters themselves.
Nathan is awesome. I recommend this show.

I also love the opening.
"No offence, but some people are just born criminals."
"Are you looking to get stabbed?"
"See what I mean!"
