As was always the case with Heroes, there’s a little bit too much going on at any one time--a few too many characters, powers, and storylines to keep track of. But that’s a small quibble with a story and vibe that’s this strong so far.
On balance, Heroes Reborn shows great promise. The challenge will be how the writers and producers pull all the disparate threads into a cohesive storyline.
Heroes Reborn, a 13-episode “event series” on NBC, may or may not satisfy fans of the original series (which ended in 2010). Judged on its own, Heroes Reborn doesn’t make an airtight case for its revival. Nevertheless, the first three episodes (including the two-hour Sept. 24 premiere) demonstrate that “Heroes” is/was an often stylish way to tell tales of the super-abled.
Creator/executive producer Kring hasn’t learned anything from seasons two through four. Heroes Reborn suffers from the same excesses that alienated viewers--too many characters, too many plot threads, too many snippets of scenes that serve to advance little but the time to a commercial break. Finally, the show seems old-fashioned.
The Heroes Reborn opener had its share of potentially showstopping moments, but they land awkwardly and without much force. In place of wonder, there is mostly nostalgia.
Relying over-much on nostalgia for its roots, Heroes Reborn seems astonishingly obtuse about the new world of television.... Ambitious is one thing, a big hot mess is quite another. There are too many characters to keep track of, never mind care about.
From the beginning, Heroes Reborn plays like fan fiction with its amateur writing. It looks slick, but that hides shallow screenwriting and characters.
