    Based on the first action-packed and fun episode, it looks like Kring and crew have succeeded in pulling out of their sophomore slump.

    This is good bunk, fun bunk, energetic bunk. Much better bunk than the last volume.
  3. Even just a half hour in, it's difficult not to wish everyone would just lighten the heck up. The graphic novel noir feel is becoming increasingly oppressive, and everyone is just so grim.

    This show, which was once so thrilling and fun, has become full of itself, its characters spouting crazy nonsense.

    I'm glad to see Heroes return to it's original form after last seasons horrible display.
  2. The 3rd series of Heroes was probably the 2nd best overall with the return of the twist and turns that had excited viewers during the 1st run. I'm not sure splitting the series up was a great idea but I think that critics and viewers alike were far to critical of it after its unfortunate writers guild incident. A shame,a real shame. Expand
  3. Still not living up to it's 1st season expectation but still worth watching. Some of the characters really haven't grown such as Mr Bennett who has actually shrunk down to his only motivation and reason for living is his daughter Clare. The actor is doing the best he can with a 2 dimensional script. However, the character Peter Petrelli has been more enriched this season, as has the brother Nathan Petrelli. Expand
