Just started watching Misfits on Netflix (I know, late to the party) and this skyline scene features a bit. Does anyone know what the H shaped building on the right is? Googling says the series was filmed around Thamesmead, but I can't find anything. Cheers muchly.

Yeah, barking creek barrier I think. I think there are a few similar.

Dartford was the one i was thinking of but barking looks a better fit in terms of surroundings and proximity to the set.

You can just about see the environment agency logo on the top of it too

I've also been late to the party and bingeing on it recently. It's pretty good and refreshing and has lots of attractive ladies in it 🙂

I've pretty much given up after Robert Sheehan left. Is it worth carrying on for the rest?

It's definitely not as good as the first two series.

Felt it dipped a bit after season 2 but it does pick up again and goes off in a different direction. We'll worth sticking with.

Bit of a spot the UK talent, GoT, Gotham to name a few.

Barking creek sluice gate, spent a good few days up on the roof of that years ago - scary as anything if you don’t like heights! The balustrade was about a foot tall for added feeling of security but pretty good views. There was also a lift shaft for machinery which you could peer down.

I think it definitely took a nose dive after Sheehan left. Great to see him in Umbrella Academy and the guy that, sort of, replaced him in Preacher.

I also binged this a couple of months back and would agree it did go downhill towards the end. That said the last season wasn't awful, just not as quite as entertaining.

Season 3 is fine

Starting season 4 this week. Interested to see if it is any good with nearly all of the originals gone

It's got a doppelganger up north, where the river Hull meets the Humber. (The Deep in background)
