1 Stars Sad Ending For A Show That Started With A Bang
The Heroes TV series began with a huge bang. The characters and intersecting plotlines kept you captivated until the climatic season ending. Very well done.
Season 2 started out slowly, but still had strong acting and character interaction. I enjoyed this season primarily for Hiro’s journey back into feudal Japan as Hiro was by far the best character on the show in my opinion.
Season 3 was a mess. As people here have already said, there were characters that we met in Season 2 only to see them drop off the face of the Earth and forgotten in Season 3. Add in stupid storylines like Peter and Nathan’s father coming to life (boy was that guy a terribl actor and the internment camp plot line that had some promise, but fell flat in the end.)
So comes Season 4 with hope and promise that they could have redeemed the series back to its original glory, sadly this is not the case. Some quick points:
#1) Too much Claire. Her character became annoying and unwatchable in this season. I didn’t understand why the producers insisted on her having so much air time, but they did at the expense of the show.
#2) While Robert Knepper is a good actor and the Samuel Sullivan character was creepy, the whole carnival angle dragged on for too long with a silly ending.
#3) I was hoping for more Hiro in this season, but sadly we didn’t get that. The few times we did were the bright spots of this season. Particularly the touching scenes with him and Charlie.
#4) Not enough development of Noah’s character. How about having a cool angle with him battling his wife’s new guy who is secretly a special planning bad things and taunting him and his failed marriage? That would have been good stuff. Instead Noah is diminished to a sad character who spends time in regret and wondering about what could have been. What a waste.
Bottom line: I don’t blame NBC for cancelling this show. It began with such promise and disappointed in the end.
4 Stars Great Season with a few complaints
I liked this season butr I do have a few complaints:
1) What the heck was up with the tattoo ink
2) Why did they introduce the gay girl (that really bugged me because it ruined a main beloved character)
3) Where was the carnival really at it just seemed to appear where ever he wanted it but his power was supposed to be earth manipulation
That was just the few things that bugged me, especially #2.
5 Stars A great final season
Heroes Season 4 is a good one, well written, acted, lots of character moments and a compelling storyline. I loved it and I have loved all four seasons. Sad to see it go!
3 Stars An Undeserved Ending
Heroes started out as a phenomenon. It was a show that caught on like Lost, House and all the other major shows that were released around it’s time. Sadley after an extremly successful first season and a TV writters strike Heores never was the same.
This season was titled Redemption and it was a season that deserved the title. We were introduced to some great new characters as well as a very interesting new story. Yet the show never was able to bring itself back to the impactful first season and NBC just decided to cit the chord. To me I am all about closure and not to give Heores a proper send off was terrible. I had heard there were plans for a 2 hour series finale made for TV movie, but it was scrapped. Either way as a whole Heroes was a very interesting take on the whole superhero theme and I am very glad to know that I was able to be a part of it.
4 Stars great series
this wsw a great season for heroes I miss the show I can’t believe they didnt make a new season.
