Simply The Best! [Posted on 2008-12-09]
I can't lie and say I loved this show from the very beginning. I did not. In fact, after the pilot episode I gave up, until this year when I caught season 3 episodes and it made me realize I've been missing an amazing show. So amazing I had to rent every Heroes DVD and request both seasons 1 & 2 dvd sets. I still wasn't crazy about the Pilot when I saw it again recently, but I loved the realistic approach to super-heroes.
I'm a big fan of Smallville so no surprise Heroes won me over. There are lots of characters and many of them are very likeable. So many in fact that I can't pick ONE favorite because a lot of them are my favorites - like Hiro who can teleport through time and space and make me laugh every episode along with his human side-kick Ando, Claire Bennett who heals from anything like Wolverine, Peter (who could copy any powers of a super-human he comes into contact with) & Nathan (who can fly) brothers with powers, but different viewpoints, there's Matt the psychic cop/part time F.B.I agent who is trying to find out what happened to him and others like him who have suddenly become more than human. there's Nikki/Jennifer who are sisters one good and one bad, one dead and one alive but they switch places when they "see" each other in mirrors and reflective objects, there's Angela Petrelli, the manipulative mother of the Petrelli brothers (Nathan and Peter), there's Mikah, Nikki's son who can control machines, there's DL the husband of Nikki and father of Mikah who can become intangible and walk through walls Finally, there is HRG the cunning, manipulative "father" of Claire and Sylar the show's version of Lex Luthor who kills to take other people's powers.. The stories are fantastic and in this first season this show brought a positive vibe that many tv shows lack these days (heck even Heroes has become a "dark" and brooding show).
If you've never seen Heroes you don't know what you are missing. There are those fans that think the show has declined, but I think it gets better every week. I'm glad I finally started watching this show and now buy it on dvd. It's already become my favorite show. I suggest you rent it first but if you come to love it like I do you will not regret buying these dvds. Speaking of the dvds, there are so many commentaries with cast & crew that those of you who love commentaries (like I do) will love these dvds.
Bad [Posted on 2008-12-13]
I ordered this almost a month ago and I still haven't recieved it and I have tried to communicate with the seller and they haven't answered me.
Best first season of any series. [Posted on 2008-12-18]
I loved this show on broadcast, and I love it more on DVD. I could mention that it could use more DVD-exclusive content and special features, I do love commentary tracks. But, this is a minor issue by comparison. This is, bar none, the best opening season for any television series. Perhaps the second season wasn't all that it could be, and the third season is almost up to standards, but those are separate concerns. Here's the bottom line: Get this DVD collection. Get it and see what I mean. It is genius, from start to finish.
Really Great Series [Posted on 2008-12-21]
Well thought out. Well acted. This is what TV series should be like.
Good for a TV series [Posted on 2008-12-22]
Although we are all getting a bit overdone on multiple character,plot, places, skipping back and forth in time (is anyone but me Lost yet) Heroes has some really great actors, in particular they have older characters in starring roles. If for no other reason I gave this TV show a five star. That said the show is challenging to watch as there are so many characters and plots running at the same time. Unlike Lost which follows a similiar format, Heroes does take the time to develop each character througout all three seasons. Sometimes the show gets off track rather intentionally or to allow the producers to bring back previously killed off characters, but it eventually rerights itself so one can follow how the whole series plot is unfolding. It has kept my interest but I wonder as we get to the end of season 3 if it can keep up the twist and turns and not get LOST.
