Yeah, this is the greatest show ever!

I was doubtful of watching this as I don't watch many shows because they are all the same premise. My buddy brought it over and said no matter what, I was gonna watch it. So, I humored him and watched the first episode. Then, around 6 hours later we are still watching the show, anxiously going through the episodes. This show is just unreal and amazing. Every turn of the corner is a new twist. Also, the level of violence in this show surprised me as it's a network show. This show is a slightly watered down version of X-Men.

A great first season

I watched the pilot a few weeks ago and was instantly hooked. The characters are all very different but likable, the acting is great, the stories are interesting, and the powers are cool to see while they're developing--there's more than just flying and super-strength. This show sort of has everything, in a way: action, romance, sci-fi, family relationships, corruption, mysterious characters with dubious morals... The one things I noticed, though, was a distinct lack of fun. It's all drama and angst, especially for Nikki and Peter. Hiro and Ando make up for a lot of it, but it's still very much present.

Regardless, Heroes is definitely recommended, and not just for fans of these superhero-y type things. Buy this DVD and prepare to spend an entire day watching--with bathroom breaks, of course.

Heroes - So close, and yet so far away

I'm a guy that loves shows like Lost and 24. I love shows with rich, interesting stories with characters I not only can relate to, but also really enjoy seeing when they're on the screen. When I heard about the premise for Heroes, it seemed like it was right up my alley.

So, I ordered the season. I watched the first episode. Not my favorite, I thought. Still, I remember having watched the first few episodes of Battlestar Galactica, hating them, then after a while, grew to love the series. I hoped for an experience that would reward the time I took to watch it. I thought to myself, "Hey, it's alright... sometimes it takes a show to stand up on it's own two feet."

Turns out I'm just a sucker. Despite the hype, I just don't like any of the characters, save for maybe Hiro- and that's definitely a maybe. The characters are all so self-absorbed and pretentious that after each episode, I no longer got the feeling of "What's going to heppen next?" Instead, it was "Is there any way to make this guy or girl likable?" After watching the entire first season, the answer is a resounding No, pretty much all of them remain obsessed with their own problems and ego, with exception to Hiro and Nathan Petrelli.

The other problem with the show is similar to the problems faced by the last couple seasons of Alias- No substance. There would be plot twists, sure, but there would be nothing that would seriously alter the course of events. There's a point where the series turns just plain boring. In addition, there are plenty of times where someone says something vague, and you're meant to expect it to be deep and meaningful, but when the audience finds out exactly what they mean, you find out that it wasn't deep, and the reveal is so disappointing that it's annoying. And Saresh? Easily the most egotistical and pretentious one of them all. The fact they've made him the narrator is infuriating.

Why did I give it three stars? The last few episodes. They're actually pretty good, plus the "5 years into the future episode." Not bad at all. If they made the entire series like those episodes, this would have been a great series. Also, Hiro starts out as being pretty annoying. I'm a dork (An engineer by day), and I was meant to relate to him... but geez. However, his character gets developed into someone I actually liked seeing at the end.

So, to conclude- Great concept, horrible characters, poor writing. Don't expect Lost with superpowers. Expect X-men, only much more drawn out and wolverine is a cheerleader, without the aweosme blades.
