Great series!! I loved all the characters and couldn't decide which one was my favourite! All the stories were so cool how they linked together to make the bigger picture. Sylar was an awesome bad guy, really creepy. Can't wait to see the next season!very good - JOE52
This tv series is scifi but interesting scifi. The caracter are well develloped and it's fun to see how they are related to one and another without knowing each other. I'm excited for the second season.
C'est une très bonne télésérie que je recommande à tous.Superior Television - Gregg
As most are undoubtedly aware "Heroes" tells the stories of a number of persons who have begun to exhibit unusual powers, powers such as the ability to fly. Whereas these types of powers are usually associated with superheroes and comic books, these individuals don’t wear costumes. They are also faced with both the regular every day challenges of normal people, and those brought about by their own special circumstances.
The intriguing storylines alone with strong performances by the cast, loads of style in both the visuals and music, and good production values make this superior television.
I found for my own experience that the series played even better on DVD than watching as it originally aired. It’s easier to follow some of the nuances of the plot and character development when watching the series over a more compressed schedule, and also with the ability to pause or rewind.
One of my few complaints would be the pseudo-science, in particular the Human Genome project's use, and also attempting to use genes to explain something like the ability for human flight. They would have been better off avoiding these attempts to explain things, I found it similar too but not as egregious as George Lucas's metaclorians.
The Special Features are good. For most episodes there are deleted scenes, and the scenes are in a finished state. While they don’t feature any great revelations there are some interesting insights and a little further character development. The commentaries are not terribly informative, but they are by and large entertaining. Most are a combination of cast and crew, with the crew providing more of the information and the cast the entertainment. The unaired pilot is interesting but ultimately not as good as the aired pilot, there are several casting differences in secondary characters and a very different spin on the ‘radioactive man’ character which also meant a different introduction of one of the primary characters.
