Heroes

An eclectic group of ordinary people with ordinary problems and ordinary lives, discover extraordinary powers as a total eclipse casts its long shadow across the Earth.

A cheerleader realizes that she recovers from any injury, no matter how gruesome. A cop starts hearing the thoughts of those around him. An artist paints the future. A single mother's mirror image takes on a life of her own. A Japanese office worker stops time.

All of these characters and more gradually explore their (often dangerous and unwelcome) gifts in this addictive drama, as they realize that with great power comes great danger. Are they freaks?? Victims?? The saviors of the human race?? All three?? The only thing we know is that in every human lies the potential for something... incredible.

The concept is original, and the overall mood of the show is immense. I love watching this, however, some episodes can seem a bit samey... but this is still one to watch! Nothing else like it at the moment.

We have been glued to Hero's since the first episode- it is a welcome diversion while waiting for next season of 'Doctor Who'. The plot is just complex enough to keep you on your toes with out getting lost, but dont miss an episode. You shouldnt with all the repeats that go on. Save the Cheer leader, Save the world- still keeping us guessing how that will pan out!

A compelling piece of high tosh. The scientific ideas behind the series are utter bunkum but, if you can leave your brain at the entrance, this is huge fun. It's as close a translation of proper comic book action as I think TV will ever get to.

Although the second series to start with wasn't quite as gripping as the first, now in its 5th episode I feel it has finally got there. And its awesome, the suspense is huge, the concept is original and it keeps me fixed everyweek.

I groaned when my hubbie said we were going to watch Heroes because Superman/Spiderman etc. are really not my thing! However I actually enjoy this series very much - there are so many stories of different peoples' lives running at the same time and then there are the constant twists to keep you watching.
