Advantages: Compelling story and great to watch Disadvantages: complicated . This is only half series one.
...live long enough maybe our heroes can stop it, unless they don't want to.
Maybe that has confused you more than ever but I am not going to give much of the actual story away. You will have to watch and see. I really don't think you will be disappointed.
===The DVD's===
This is the first half of the first series. It is in the form of a double box set containing a total of four discs (two in each box.) The discs contain episodes one to eleven plus ... ...Maybe buying the single episode Heroes Genesis would be even better, make your mind up from that before making the investment of £24.98 (Amazon) for this set. All sets are also also available at most DVD retailers.
===Suitability.===
The series has a 15 rating on the DVD. There are gory scenes that are going to be unsettling for younger viewers, or older ones of a timid disposition for that matter. To be honest it is a complicated story that younger ...

Advantages: Very entertaining, good plot and characters Disadvantages: Don't buy this DVD - buy the whole series.
...find out what happens next! Heroes is a programme that I always heard great things about and always wanted to try, but since until recently all the DVDs were unreasonably expensive, I only got to watch it for the first time last week. I’m not sure how legal it is to watch TV shows online without paying, but since all episodes of Heroes are available to watch on NBC.com if you live in the United States, I don’t feel too bad about watching them elsewhere ... ...down the line anyway! Heroes is a science fiction series, with the premise being that there are some people in the world who have special abilities that us normal people don’t have. Examples include a Japanese man who can bend space and time, a woman in Texas who can remember everything that she reads, and a man in New York City who can paint the future. The prominent geneticist Dr Suresh has been investigating these people and if there is a way ...

Quick review of Heroes - Series 1 Vol. 1 (DVD)
Originally aired in America on NBC in 06. Heroes made its way to the UK on BBC for summer 07. A dramatic, dark science fiction series. Various people across the world discover they can do incredible things, but just because you have power doesn't mean you'll use it for good. Well written with plot lines and mysteries weaving together to make an intriguing and addictive series. If you like superhero films, then this series is a very different take on what a hero is. If you don't, then this an exciting and unique series that's worth taking a risk on with plot and characters that have real depth.
The first part of the series drops us in at the deep end as secrets find the characters, people are found murdered, the world is in danger and the future seems to hang in the balance. One of the best and most original series since Firefly. ...

Advantages: Action, Superpowers, Sci - fi Disadvantages: Some killings, betrayal . . .
Heroes is a TV series about ordinary people with extraordinary abilities! This series reminds me of X-men, although not exactly the same as X-men but the idea is somewhat similar. The first season is more like an introduction of the characters. In here, specific individuals learn that they have special abilities or powers such as being able to heal, control time, fly, read people's minds and absorb other powers. In any hero movies, there is always ... ...It somehow gives a message that heroes are present in every part of the world. As for the special effects, it is average, not exactly something that will leave you at awe but it doesn't look fake either!
I suggest you go watch it and be your own critic! ...

Advantages: Great storyline and cast Disadvantages: Can be hard to follow in parts
As a Sci-Fi sceptic I tuned in to this show expecting another overblown load of nonsense from across the pond. However I was pleasently surprised by what I saw. The show has great narrative structure(thats storyline for you non-geeks) and a fantastic array of characters.
The shows revolves around a number of characters from around the globe who have been blessed with "Super-Human" powers. Without giving too much away the storyine shows how the characters ... ...mysterious antagonist who seems to be out to foil there plans.
The first part of the series focuses on one character per episode with may twists and turns coming later in the series. Overall this is a fantastic piece of television that I would recommend anyone who enjoyed series such as lost purchasing. ...
