Heroes

I love this show and watch it usually, it's great drama. But does anyone else find some of the lines VERY cheesy. Over dramatic i mean. Also i have to say some of the acting is very poor(The friend in the burger joint in New Orleans), while other acting is great(Hiro, Peter). This show is great because it keeps you wanting to see what comes next. You simply cannot stop watching, there are so many questions that need to be answered. Also, it speaks to what everyone always wished they had, Superpowers. I think i'd want Hiro's most, ruling out peter cause that's too easy

Heroes was great for the first three seasons or so, then it kinda went down hill, sort of like the producers not wanting to let go and end a perfectly good story. But the characters are nice, actors are good and the story is captivating for the most part. I recommend this, one or two episodes a day.

Having been utterly spellbound by Series 1 and Series 2 I was half expecting Series 3 to go downhill a little.

I was close to giving this 4 stars, but I think it just about justifies 5.

The great thing about this programme, as opposed to something like 24 (which I also loved), is they can easily add in a large amount of new characters, plots and twists - which they have done in abundance in Series 3.

You've still got most of the main characters from the other 2 series (although they're not scared to kill the odd one off...) but you've got a load more - and some really great new powers!

The plot is pretty good too - mildly complex in parts - but it works and once again I was gripped.

The ending was the only thing that I found a little lacking, not terrible, but it just seemed to drift off a little in the last couple of episodes, rather than building to a crescendo.

Still loved this series though - well worth a watch

Right - now for Series 4....!

Having thoroughly enjoyed Heroes Series 1, I was expecting Series 2 to be a little less impressive - as I've often found a successful first series sometimes results in the second series being rushed and as a result, the finished product being quite poor.

However, I started watching series 2 and became instantly hooked as I was with the first series. There's loads of things in the plot which get your brain going and quite a few areas which aren't revealed until later in the series - which is definitely worth waiting for.

Overall, its must-watch TV for me, so I'd highly recommend it.

Looking forward to finding enough time for the next series now!

This completely passed me by when it was on TV (on the BBC I think too...)

We got it as a DVD and finally got round to watching it - expectations were pretty low.

Within 2 or 3 episodes I was completely hooked. Loved the premise of the series, loved the characters and generally loved everything about it.

The only other time I've been so hooked on a TV series is when I watched the first episodes of 24.

Really hoping that the later series are as good as Series 1 (off to buy them now...)

Heroes Season 3 has amazing special FX and twisting plot line that will shock you and leave you wanting more! It can get a little confusing as to who is on whose side at times. Brilliant start to the season, as good as the first season!

Enthralling series, one of the best seasons so far but 1 or 2 episodes not as good as the rest. One of the best shows on t.v and some eye candy.

Heroes is still a very enjoyable and entertaining show. But it needs to tighten up the writing and character development to get back to the high spots of the first series.

OK, I am writing this review of Heroes after watching the full series on the Si Fi Channel before airing on BBC2, so I will try not to give you any spoilers.

Heroes is about a group of people who have never meet before who all discover they have superpowers. There are also three different forces trying to track them down.

First is Doctor Mohinder Suresh whose father, a genetic researcher on discovering a the DNA code of the heroes is murdered and Mohinder takes his place in order to complete his fathers work. Not only is he the best looking but he is also a good guy.

Then there is the company that Mr. Bennet works for which moonlights as Primatech Paper Company but secretly works as a company that does testing on the superhuman. Even after the end of the series it is not quite clear if this is an overly good or bad company, personally I think its employees are divided.

Lastly we have Sylar the main bad guy who every one is after. He has the power to steal other peoples powers but only after he kills them. Everyone is united in chasing him and stopping him from killing more. Although he is the bad guy he is a great character and it well performed, there are times when you feel sorry for him later on in the series but this just shows how great the writing is.

As for the Heroes themselves Hiro is the best and the one character that brings everyone together. He even has a sidekick Ando who plays the dumb blonde character albeit being male and from Japan, together they provide great comic timing.

The next main Hero character has to be Peter Petrelli, he is the most caring and the one who wants to save the world. His compassion is his strong point and he wants to use his powers for the greater good. This is unlike his brother Nathan the congress man who only thinks of becoming the next Mayor of New York although his family do play a second best.

Another main character is Claire Bennett who is Mr Bennetts adopted daughter. She plays a cheerleader and is a important part within the show. Save the Cheerleader Save the World! Claire is not only battling with being a teenager and finding her real parents but she has discovered that she can not be hurt - every time she breaks a bone she is healed.

With my other characters all with different powers and connections you will not miss Lost over the summer. If you have not already tuned in, you must as it is the best show to come out of the states in a long time.

Just watched the first two episodes of Heroes on BBC 2 last night and I have to say I'm hooked. In these opening episodes we are introduced to each of the characters and their super powers. Great set of characters including a girl with a split personality, an indestructible cheerleader and a guy that can travel through time. There's room for plenty of twists, turns and full on action to follow, will most definitely be sticking with this one. Roll on next week!
