Ep 1. Episode 1

"Episode 1" is the first episode in the British cult favorite television series "Misfits". The show features a group of young adults who are all serving community service for various crimes. However, on the first day of their service, they are caught in a freak electrical storm that gives them all supernatural abilities.

The episode opens with our protagonist, Nathan, being sentenced to community service for stealing. Nathan is cocky, brash and irreverent, and his attitude often lands him in trouble with the others. As they begin their community service, the group starts to bond over their disdain for their situation and the work they have to do.

During the storm, the group realizes that they've all gained unique superpowers related to their personalities. Curtis, a former athlete who was banned from competing for taking steroids, gains the ability to turn back time, which he uses to try to correct past mistakes. Simon, a shy and socially awkward kid, gains the ability to become invisible whenever he feels ignored, and Kelly, a tough girl with a troubled past, gains the ability to read other people's thoughts.

As they begin to experiment with their newfound powers, they encounter a man who is stuck in a time loop, repeating the same day over and over again. Curtis convinces the others to help him break the loop, but their attempts only make things worse, leading to a chaotic and hilarious sequence of events.

Meanwhile, Nathan, who seems to be the only one without any powers, finds himself pursued by two men who are looking for revenge. Nathan's quick wit and resourcefulness, as well as a stroke of luck, help him outsmart his pursuers.

Throughout the episode, there are hints that the characters' powers might not be entirely positive. For example, Kelly's ability to read minds makes her confront her abusive stepfather and brutally attack him, causing her to feel guilty and ashamed. The group also starts to realize that they have attracted the attention of a mysterious figure who seems to be tracking them and their powers.

Overall, "Episode 1" sets the stage for the rest of the series, establishing the characters, their powers and the quirky, irreverent tone that would become the show's trademark. The episode is fast-paced, funny and action-packed, and leaves viewers eager to see what happens next.
