Show Summary

  • Ended
Heroes is a serial saga about people all over the world discovering that they have superpowers and trying to deal with how this change affects their lives. Some of the superheroes who will be introduced to the viewing audience include Peter Petrelli, an almost 30-something male nurse who suspects he might be able to fly, Isaac Mendez, a 28-year-old junkie who has the ability to paint images of the future when he is high, Niki Sanders, a 33-year-old Las Vegas showgirl who begins seeing strange things in mirrors, Hiro Nakamura, a 24-year-old Japanese comic-book geek who literally makes time stand still, D.L. Hawkins, a 31-year-old inmate who can walk through walls, Matt Parkman, a beat cop who can hear other people's thoughts, and Claire Bennet, a 17-year-old cheerleader who defies death at every turn. As the viewing audience is discovering the nature of each hero's powers, the heroes themselves are discovering what having superpowers means to them as well as the larger picture of where their superpowers come from. Tune in each week to see how these heroes are drawn together by their common interest of evading the series' antagonist who wants to harvest their super-DNA for himself. Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world! The series will star Greg Grunberg (Alias), Leonard Roberts (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Milo Ventimiglia (Gilmore Girls), and Hayden Panettiere (Ally McBeal, Guiding Light). Tim Kring (Crossing Jordan, Chicago Hope) is the series' creator. The pilot is set to be directed by Dave Semel (American Dreams, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Beverly Hills, 90210). Heroes will be produced by NBC/Universal/Tailwind.

    I from the UK and when I first watched heroes I loved it I thought it was the best thing to come on to tv since friends every episode I watched I loved it even more especially hero and Ando they are a funny couple. But I wish there could be a season 5 with all the original cast It just sucks that the ended it the way they did so please make some more please I will even help you make the season so do it for all the fans out there you know you want to.moreless

    I'm from the uk and they aired Heroes on BBC ONE 5 - 6 years ago now.... I think? (damn that's a long time now) I remember seeing the trailers for it and becoming super excited about watching it, but they weren't very specific either so it made it more exciting! After watching the first episode I was hooked and followed it for 4 years. So for those which are reading this and haven't watched it yet, then you should stop reading and get watching! I re watched all the seasons just recently as my girlfriend never watched it, like I was she was hooked to it! We managed to complete all the seasons in just a month, which I find seriously funny as I had to wait months to watch the new seasons... Anyway I'm going on a bit now! But like most the other reviews that I read I agree with many on the fact how disappointing it was that they just stopped producing the series, I was devastated when I heard the news! I don't know if people would agree with me, but I hope in years to come that possibly they would consider making a season 5 just to finish it off for us.moreless

    First let me say i completly loved this show i just cant get enough of it
    but i personally think the way it ended sucked not the story or the actors but how the end just left the fans hanging and wanting to know what was next i mean fine if they thought it was time to end the show thats ok but if they wanted to end it they should have done a final episode
    thats just my opinionmoreless

    This review is kind of tough because the seasons are so different. Season 1 was great in terms of everything. It had great characters, plot, formula everything! Season 2 had everyone pairing up with someone? boring plot lines horrible new heroes that i don't think anyone cared about and a lot of filler episodes. I have faith in heroes and i think it will turn itself around with the new season and hopefully regain what it lost. Season 2 needed some fixing up and hopefully season 3 can repair the damage. I think that this show really needs to pick up the pieces if they want a season 4.moreless
