Alicia I love this movie so much
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
passinivalerio After watching Heroes from season 1 to the beginning of season 3; I'm feeling bored and betrayed. The main characters are all a bunch of psychotic doing as much good things as bad things, but more of the latter, and turning from good to bad and vice-versa all the time. Just take a characters list and describe if one character is good or bad, you will find yourself in difficulty: only a few good characters which tend to die a lot or being troubled and fighting each others and a legion of evil characters dominating over the good ones. The fact is that you can not get attached to a character because sooner or later he will be eliminated and this will get to the point that someday you should have to like one of the antagonists you've always hated because in the meanwhile he turns out to be "good". They have abused in bad written twists and it looks like they are trying to tell us that having superpowers is just an hassle. This is really something disappointing in a superhero serial. Just watch the first season and don't go further.
tapio_hietamaki I watched seasons 1 and 2 of 'Heroes'. I liked the first season and disliked the second season, so much so that I barely remember anything about the latter and didn't feel inclined to watch any more.However, the first season pretty much works on its own as a story about emerging superheroes coming together in various ways to fight an evil adversary. I haven't watched any of the Netflix Marvel superhero TV shows so I don't know how those compare to 'Heroes' but I think that this show still holds up pretty well despite being over ten years old already.'Heroes' is not about any costume-wearing comic book heroes. It's got its own cast of original characters, each getting an origin story and starting its own franchise (not that much came of it). There's the self-regenerating cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere), the time-travelling Japanese office worker, the super-strong schizophrenic stripper, and the power-replicating nurse (Milo Ventimiglia from 'Gilmore Girls'). All these fates end up tying together in a very satisfying manner.
liz_reilly Honestly the only thing that wasn't so good about this show apart from a lack of comic relief when Hiro and Ando weren't around, was that there wasn't a defined story arc or villain for each season, and that made each season less conclusive and would have caused a lot of people to lose interest despite liking the characters and the narrative. You just lose a bit of investment when you don't have closure at the right times. In this way season 4 is actually the best season next to season 1 because it has an interesting villain that comes in at the start of the season and remains to the end of the season. AND we empathise with Samuel while still wanting him to be stopped. It was also kind of sad when interesting characters weren't around for very long, but didn't actually die. It was similar to Buffy in giving these kind of epic, unexpected deaths, like Issac, and that kleptomaniac chick in season 1 who I forgot the name of. And then the really drawn out, confusing-in-a-good-way death of Nathan. But then there were all these characters who left without dying, or with any closure really. And that kind of thing just makes you automatically think 'are they gonna show up again?', 'what's the deal with that dude?' A lot of other shows do that in a much worse way though- at least in Heroes, it actually made sense and the narrative was interesting enough that it was easy to move on from those other characters.
cjselvig I found this 2006 series started off well building characters and getting one hooked onto the television series. Unfortunately it seems like they used a large portion of the budget on the first few episodes after which the quality of the plot diminishes into overdrawn out dramatic acting. That or they switched from paying good writers to paying for more special effects. I found that the bad music and bad acting actually becomes sadly entertaining, although a waste of time. Overall, I recommend only watching up to episode 5 of season 1. After that, read the episode summaries so you don't waste your time :) This quick fade after the few episodes seems to be a common outcome with TV series these days. Or is it just me?
