US: Heroes reborn 2015
- Thread starter Camalot
- Start date
I think there is too much commercial pressure on US shows - they milk some things for far too long and just want to rush them out with a team of writers regardless of quality - this show suffered in the writers strike IIRC.
The first season was fantastic TV, in an ideal world they'd have held off then made a well thought out second season then left it at that - unfortunately they spun out three further seasons which were watchable but just weren't anywhere near as good as the first.
The stuff that is truly great tends to have one single visionary driving the whole thing - the wire, sopranos etc.. (though even the wire went a bit retarded at times - especially the final season). I think Heroes became a bit more disengaged and designed by committee.

I actually liked that bit and I am hoping they explain that it happens for a reason and she can emulate and interact with surroundings in crossover reality that she can create.
Not too bad a start, once Bennits story got going it moved a long at a good pace.
Some bad habits happening here lets hope they have learn from previous mistakes.
Didn't like that gamer bit either, reminds of the Hiro bits from the start of the first series and they bored the crap out of me as well

None really. It'd be useful to know about Bennet, but he's a bit of a bell end anyway so I wouldn't bother.
Personally, I thought it was a bit pants...But I liked it

Leroooooooooooooooooooooy 
I thought it was a very good start for the show even though I couldn't remember a thing about Heroes (apart from it becoming utter cack). Lets hope history doesn't repeat itself as it feels very samey in that first episode.

Thought it was ok, ill still watch the rest because I like series with special powers. Although the tv game parts were annoying had to skip through. I don't know what made them think that was a good idea, it realy took a lot away from the series. Maybe its to appeal to younger audiences or east asian audiences?

really enjoying it so far, really miss Heroes, got ep3 to watch in abit
Thinking the same, cant get into it and the whole thing is getting more absurd even for heroes
It really isn't a patch on season 1, the story just isn't gripping at all. I was hoping they could recapture that but it all just seems a bit silly at the moment. The side stories seem uninteresting and with it only being a 13 episodes I think the next few episodes may feel rushed.

I thought the most recent episode was quite good. It had me wanting more at the end which is rare these days.

Had a little flick through this, the cast did not do anything for me, the cgi was poor and after reading what you guys saying I won't bother with this one.
The annoying thing with Heroes is that it takes an age to get from A to B and all the filler is crap. The only character I really like is Noah Bennett. When you've got decent superhero shows such as Flash, Arrow (well, we'll see how Season 4 goes...) and SHIELD, Heroes unfortunately lags way behind.
Feels a bit like season 1-3 of the original show with some big event to occur or big baddie, endless build ups with suspense one has to be pretty tired of noah questioning every person who is just about to answer all his questions only to die or vanish...
Otherwise yeah the katana girl is terrible, but it does have some of the original hope of heroes I loled at that bit when they said perhaps inhuman..... so no mutant talk but inhuman, bit of a fox and marvel ordeal surely
