Misfits episode 4, series 4 is called "Zombie Noir" and it has many reasons to be called this.
Story
The anti-hero called Curtis gets involved with a girl called "Lola" who is reported to be a trainee probation worker and being violently beaten by another man who he murders, because she persuaded him to with out asking directly. Later Curtis uses his powers to bring him back to life (turning the murdered man into a zombie) and asks him about Lola and how he knows her. Unfortunately the man quickly turns to a zombie after being confronted and bites Curtis which you find out abit later on but the man is killed for a second time. Later he searches this girls flat and finds a CD of her acting as a girl called Lola in front of an audience when the storm hits. He finds out she gets trapped as this character when she got caught in the storm. He confronts her and gets away from her before he attempts to bite her as he's a zombie. She then self harms then later blames Curtis for it in front of another man. Curtis is hunted down by this man where he aims for Curtis but he questions Lola in his mind for a split second when he gets shot by Lola who's pops from behind him and she shoots Curtis as well. He falls to the ground and when she inspects him he bites her and shoots her in the head then takes himself off a high base where he falls by taking a bullet to the brain from himself.
