What impact (positive/negative) could Misfits have?
Misfits features criminals as the main protagonists, possibly giving off the impression that this is okay. This is particularly true in the case of Nathan, who is presented as the joker, and quite likable. His attitude to criminal activity is sometimes light hearted and this could have a negative impact on the viewer, encouraging them to see this as the norm.
Do you think the images should be censored? Explain why.
Some of the sexual and violent content in Misfits is shocking, especially for a young audience. However the younger generation are now so exposed to shocking content that it may be pointless to censor it.
How far do you agree that Misifts can change someone's behaviour?
It is always possible that something on TV/Film could influence someone's behaviour, especially when the person is particularly vulnerable. However, the everyday person is not going to be heavily influenced as a direct result of watching Misfits, but it may be a problem if an audience is exposed to this sort of behaviour over time.
Do you think TV/Film should be banned?
It seems a drastic solution to ban TV and Film entirely, mostly due to the fact that not all television is a negative influence. Also, as with other banned substances/objects, it will always be the case that people will try to gain access to it illegally, causing more problems than solutions.
