Critic Reviews for Heroes: Season 1

That lack of spandex is what makes ``Heroes" stand out.
Heroes creates addictive television drama on a near-epic scale.
Though frustrating at times, it was still a lot of fun to watch these gifted individuals find a way to fight the future.
While it's got grander intentions, I think we're looking at another cult classic.
There are very few American adults who haven't had the "would you rather fly or be invisible" debate with pals after a few beers, so have a sliver of faith that "Heroes" will prevail.
I've ragged on this season finale a ton here, and it's only because the expectations were high, since all season long each character has been moving toward New York City for this one moment. How could I not have wanted more?
Audience Reviews for Heroes: Season 1
From Tim Kring comes the action/adventure television show Heroes. A pseudo live-action X-Men series, Season 1 follows a group of people who begin to exhibit supernatural abilities and are brought together in order to prevent an impending disaster. The writing is remarkably good at serial storytelling, and is able to follow a large cast of characters and weave together multiple plot lines. The production values are also especially impressive, particularly the music and set designs. The season also features some impressive guest stars, including Clea DuVall, George Takei, and Malcolm McDowell. Imaginative and well-crafted, Heroes' first season is an epic saga of adventure.
Super Reviewer
Season 1 of Heroes gives ordinary people superpowers. The large cast was compensated with a cross-link of different plots, the ideas were fresh however the transitions between each characters were painfully confusing and irritating.
