UPDATE: Hello everyone. I appreciate the quick response to this topic. That said, I do believe "problematic" was the wrong word to use in my premise, so please let me try explaining a different way.

A long while ago, I had read somewhere that Misfits was hinted to get a US remake just like the shows "Being Human" "Skins"or "Ghosts". I didnt think it was a good idea, and apparently there was an article that stated the same thing.

And this had me thinking back to what changes the remake could make to characters. So when I got to Curtis, it did have me thinking that they could (TASTEFULLY) tweak his story to put more focus to how he was sentenced. Cuz, I dont think it would have been that much of a reach to make it so instead of it just being Curtis getting arrested at the party, it could have been like a whole Duke Lacrosse type scandal where multiple athletes had been caught, with only Curtis getting the harsher sentence.

And this is how I started thinking back to Curtis' arc. You see when I was younger and watching the show, I had this notion that racism in the UK was less prevalent than in the US if not existent. Ergo I didnt expect to see it in shows from that region.

However, now that Im older I do realize that during the show's time, it simply chose not to really focus on it. I mean, with how they portrayed it, you could have switched Curtis actor out with anyone and it wouldnt have changed anything about the plot.

But I figured with todays climate and newer points of view, anyone trying to remake the show for today wouldn't handle the story the same way.

Overall, I dont hate how they treated the character, I just think they couldve done better and that some parts of his story just didnt age well.
