Heroes - Season 1

Pros: Acting, special effects, gripping stories
Cons: Disappointing season finale

I'm not quite sure how long humans have had a fascination with superheroes, but it is certainly a part of our modern American culture. Just look at how many block buster movies are being made about them. And, to be honest, many action heroes would fall ...

Pros: great cast, involved storylines, very well-defined characters, intense presentation
Cons: none

With a blend of comic-book style depictions and multi-layered characters, NBC brought its new show Heroes to the masses in the fall of 2006. In the show, people all around the world were starting to realize that they had powers which they weren't ...

Pros: Hiro and Ando, different threads coming together
Cons: very dark, little humor, violent

Last summer, I went to see several movies at the theater and was surprised to notice that along with the expected movie previews, there was advertising for upcoming television projects. This was how I first heard about NBC's Heroes, a drama about ...

Pros: Lots of cool extras, no wait for next episode
Cons: none

Many viewers didn't know what to think of the hit show Heroes when it began on NBC in fall of 2006. With its comic book art and plot combined with a group of ordinary people who (seemingly) suddenly develop extraordinary powers, this series took ...

Pros: Interesting concept, Some good direction, Some of the acting, DVD EXTRAS!
Cons: Very derivative, Most of the characters are "types," a lot of mediocre acting

It always amuses me what becomes a "phenomenon" on television and on DVD. I recall when the first season of "Alias" (reviewed at: h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _128908365444 ) was the big thing and genre pundits ...

Pros: Well Written
Claire's Story
Cons: Hard to watch more than once

So, if you grew up with X-Men, you're familiar with the concept of people having extraordinary abilities that they can use to save the world. Rule #2, for ever hero, there's a villain. So what happens when you start to have people who are developing ...

Pros: -Great Story -Great Acting
Cons: None

Getting into the fandom I must admit I didn’t get into this show until the mid-season. The ads on TV, such as Hiro concentrating so hard (I thought his head was about to pop) on a Japanese clock and the hand moving backwards, was pretty interesting. ...

Pros: Beautifully filmed. Sharp, glossy, dark... true comic book style.
Cons: Script/overly simplified plot (or lack thereof). Repetitive and patronising. Poor character development.

NBC’s hit show, Heroes, features an almost unknown cast of actors. Only a few will recognize Adrian Pasdar, who plays the broodingly dark and ambitious Nathan Petrelli, as the brilliant actor who a similarly dark, intense, and killingly ambitious ...

Pros: Heroes - Season 1 has a great story, wonderful acting and looks awesome
Cons: Heroes - Season 1 is a bit long and drawn out

Heroes is definitely my favorite TV series and with the upcoming fourth season I have been reviewing the first 3 Heroes seasons.  This original and different show follows a host of special individuals around the world and through time.  ...

Pros: Excellent for regular tv, imaginative, powerful, sexy characters.
Cons: Sometimes, more questions than answers in each episode. Good characters are killed off...or are they?

Like Superman and Spiderman before them, the cast of Heroes is made up of seemingly ordinary men, women and even children. In reality, they all have super-powers, the likes of which most people only dream about. The story is woven together blending past ...

Pros: Wonderful array of extras - including the show's artwork
Cons: None

When I first saw the previews for NBC's Heroes I was skeptic: I have been a fan of all things Superhero related since I was little, and over the years I have been disappointed by several small and big screen portrayals of my favorite heroes. The show ...
