I just finished with the first season. I really liked it, but I think it peaked 75% of the way through. The final couple of episodes weren't bad, but not the climax I wanted it to be.
I think the show missed a lot of opportunities and could have been better, but it was still really good. I am also not convinced that having one of the characters be all powerful -- you know what I am talking about -- is a good idea. It just diminishes the importance/powers of the others. I mean if you look at something like the Justice League, yes you have Superman, but while he has every power you can think of, he doesn't diminish the importance of other characters. He runs fast, but someone runs faster, he is smart, but someone is smarter etc.
In Heroes, Peter can do everything, which I don't think was the best move. Hiro is awesome though.
Some of the acting I found a little off, and oh god the editing is horrible. There are plenty of scenes missing, though I suppose that was due to time constraints. BTW, I really found some of the slow build up to be annoying, because it was so predictable. In something like
Unbreakable, I was mesmerized by every scene, even if it was slow. That's because the writing was good, and the storytelling masterful. In fact this is probably the first time I've found something too slow.
Still the first season was highly enjoyable, and very addictive. I was let down by the finale I guess, but it was definitely worth the time.
How is season 2 turning out? From what I've read, people are a little disappointed?
