10= First Season 5-8= following seasons Heroes pulls you in right from the get go. It is exciting, addictive, witty, intricate, and visually stunning. The first season is hands down a masterpiece in television. The writers actually wrote the first season as though they were not going to do a second season. Thusly the first season can stand alone, and has a well though out ending. While the second season is interesting enough, it is nowhere near what the first season was. The truth is that after the first season, the show steadily spirals and goes downhill. This was extremely noticeable to me, simply because the first season was amazing. The characters are relatable, dynamic, human, and you care for them. My favorite quality in most of them is their intelligence. I hate characters who make dumb decisions just to move the plot along, and in Heroes the characters are smart. It is especially interesting because while the story does involve some saving and heroic acts (as they grow into their powers), initially what draws you in is the process at which they begin to understand their powers. I was glad to see that the 'heroes' were normal everyday people and were from all over the world. They all begin to connect in their story lines, and they discover they are not alone. The powers are portrayed beautifully on screen, and the first season is addictive and exciting. The first season never loses momentum till the end. I don't want to give away anything, because the show has many twists and reveals, part of what makes it so enjoyable. So my suggestion is to watch Heroes, and if you don't want to be disappointed in the shows depressing turn after the first season, stop after you watch it. Because the first season is most definitely worth watching! (It is currently streaming on Netflix)
