Heroes Review Summary

Viewpoints reviewers say Heroes is "not just for comic book fans."  This show on NBC focuses on a group of unique people throughout the world with super powers.  Some are just discovering their power, while others have had them for a long time.  "Heroes is written like a comic book with out the feel of being a comic book."  Sci-Fi fans are addicted to this show claiming it has a great storyline, great acting and great writing.  Reviewers also love the special effects and imagination put into the show.  Overall the show has positive reviews.  "Awesome, Totally Hooked, My Whole Family Loves It!"   Just be forewarned that the storyline is a bit confusing with a lot of characters to learn about.  Otherwise, enjoy Heroes and other NBC Shows: ER, Last Comic Standing, and My Name is Earl.

Imagine that one day you wake up and there is something different about you.  At first you don't really know what is happening to you.  You know you aren't sick.  You still don't know what it is.  All you do know is that you have an ability that you didn't the day before.  You may be able to...

I really liked this show when it first came on. You understood the point of the show and the characters were really likeable and entertaining. They have mixed it up so much that I barely know whats going on now. You can't keep up with all the new characters and what they can do. The old characters just... review »

I wait for this show all week, every week, and at the end of each episode I can't believe it's already been an hour.

I love that none of the main characters are one-dimensional. They're believable and I'm really attached to them.

The only negative I can think of in regards to this show is that the storyline is complex, and moves from episode to episode in chapters. Each one picks up right where the previous one left off, so I can't imagine it would be easy to start watching in the middle.

If you haven't been watching, find what you've missed online and get caught up before you try. I'd hate for...

I can't say enough good things about Heroes!  I really, really don't like the current state of television... "reality" shows make me sick, and I can't stand 90% of the "regular" shows out there.  So trust me when I say that Heroes is NOT like the rest of the drivel on TV!  Heroes is crammed full of interesting characters, exciting plot twists, fascinating powers, and great special effects.
Admittedly, I came into the show late.  I resisted the suggestions of all of my friends that I watch Heroes when it first premiered.  I was really loathe to watch another boring, under-acted, brainless show,...

I love this show! The characters are great but there is becoming too many lately I think. I also wish that they would always speak in English. I become very engrossed with the story line and think it will never end. It is very exciting and you never know what will happen next. I would recommend this show to anyone but if you have missed any of the previous shows then it is hard to understand the present ones.

The cast of this show is pretty awesome.  It is a show you definitely have to pay attention to but it's a fun show for the most part.  I like guessing what will happen next.  There's such a wide variety of characters that for me there is never a dull moment.  I love all the powers the characters have.  I like to imagine how it would be to have each one (just for fun).

My husband started following it, and I got hooked, except I spent the entire first season trying to figure out what I was missing???   The story lines are very intricate and intertwined, and it was almost as if this was based upon something else that I should have seen and read first.   By the second season, I was up to speed and it turned into a very addicting program-Thank heavens for the DVR or I might not have left the living room....for fear of being left behind again and needing a whole new season just to figure out what I missed.

Heroes started as an awesome show.  I love the super hero concept and all the characters were exciting and new.  The story developed well and I felt satisfied and entertained.  I anxiously awaited season 2.  As season 2 progressed I understood there was a writers strike so I gave it a little slack in my critics eye.  Afterall, I still enjoyed the show and wanted to see more.  I felt it lacked some of it's original excitement.  Now, after the strike, my expectations went up and I feel let down.  I feel that the characters are not getting anywhere.  I feel that there is too much back and... review »

Monday night is the best TV night because of HEROES!

It is the only TV show that can get my teenager to get off the computer and on to the couch to sit with dear ole mom for an hour. 

The characters are great and not flat.  You never know what to expect from one scene to the next.  I love the way that you learn a little more about them each week.

This is one TV show that keeps you on the edge and makes you want more. It is one of only two shows that I will schedule "life" around - turn the ringer off on the phone and turn off the email for.

What could be better then having special "SUPER...

My husband and I have a standing date each week: Some sort of unhealthy snack or meal, our couch, and Heroes.  Thanks to the wonders of DVR, this date does not always happen at the same time every week, but nonetheless, the television shows that the two of us agree on are few and far between...

Heroes is one of those shows that, when it ends, does not fail to leave me with an utterly confused look on my face, and a "WHAT?!?!?!?"  The producers and directors leave me wanting more - and unlike other supernatural, suspenseful shows, the plotlines are well thought-out and do not give me the sense...

I love this show I never miss an episode. I make sure I am always home on Mondays to watch it. There is something about the feel of the show that makes me feel like a kid again. I get the excitment like I did when I saw Goonies for the first time as a little kid. I love the fact that they use actors that (although I recognize alot from bits here and there) but that haven't had huge roles anywhere else. (Except for our Felicity star, Matt) And with the exception of Veronica Mars, I don't like the addition of her. I like her in general but not on Heros. Hiro is awesome his character is so cute, I... review »

Everyone talks about this show at my husbands job, so when he heard G4 was going to have a Heroes marathon and replay season one, he set the DVR to record it.  I initially had no interest.  Between 24 and Lost, that's enough drama for me.  The rest of my time is devoted to HGTV.  Boy, was I wrong!  After watching the first two episodes at one shot, I was hooked.  We watched the entire first season over a period of one week!

Very fast paced and packed with interesting characters and plot lines.  A lot of people are saying it is a bit confusing, but I don't think so.  You do have to pay attention...

Due to a schedule change, we haven't been able to watch the second season - have them all recorded on our comcast dvr - have heard mixed reviews of the second season but can't help wondering if these are because people have started watching the show who aren't truly fans of this type of show.  You know, the ones who watch whatever is popular.  The idea that humanity is going to evolve new abilities seems to be a realistic proposition.  The idea that this many different abilities would develop simultaneously is less likely...and yet thoroughly fascinating to contemplate.  Of course, to watch... review »

I love Heroes because there is something for everyone in the show!!

The men get to look at beautiful women with that sexy Sci-Fi superpower each one possess.  These girls actually have talent and can act as well as look good!! 

But for me, quite honestly, I watch it for the men!!  These guys are good looking and great actors making Sci-Fi tolerable for me!  I know it sounds horrible, but it's true!!

Check out Peter Petrelli, Sylar and Mohinder Suresh!  All are sexy and have unbeliveable powers that keep you on the edge of your seat!!  I can't wait for the new season to start again!!
