Heroes...aaahhhh...who doesn't know this series. Well...of course at first I didn't have a clue of what it was. Only after reading a preview of it on Animosnter then I got hooked up to it.
But to be honest, I do think the main theme of the drama, which is about humans with super abilities, is already a bit obsolete. Let's count, how many super heroes stories are there already in the US, from Superman to Spiderman and so on. And they never get bored on making these kind of stories over and over again. One thing that differs till now is the story telling which I do agree that it is certainly getting more and more interesting these years despite the cliche stories.
My first glance on Heroes was....oh....it certainly does rembles X-Men in a lot of ways. Various peoples with different abilities. The difference is that you don't get a Magneto person here for the antagonist part. Instead, you have Sylar, the serial killer hunting down persons who posesses special abilities. And of course an unknown organization tracking down the gifted for their personal advantage.
But what really makes this series enjoyable. To me, it's abaout how they cope and try to adapt to their weird powers. If it was one, i guess it would've been easy. But for a person like peter who can mimic others powers, It might turn out to be a horrible and painfull experience. Guess he should learn form Sylar, who somehow posess others power by just cutting out their brains from the skull. How he treats the brain is still a mystrey even till the end of the 1st season. Hope he doesn't act as a zombie by eating those brains.
And of course, there is always someone in the series who can cheer others up. And that role goes to Hiro. Ahhh...Hiro....despite his comical face, he does posess a cool ability, which is to time travel and teleport. Continuing to the end of the series, he then eventually gets a more destined role in the story, which is to kill Sylar who is suspected to be the nuclear man that might blow up New York city.
The series luckily isn't just about the gifted persons, but also the ordinary ones, finding the truth behinds the events. One of the these peoples is Suresh. A young Professor who goes to the US to find his father's killer, but later gets involed in the intrigue. An also Mr. Bennet, Claire's foster parent who at first acted all suspicious by testing the people with special abilities, but then turned back on his organization who was then hunting down her daughter for having the ability to do instant regenaration.
Luckily the series hasn't ended. Thanks to the assurance for the second season. I do hope I can se this series in the nea future. Overall, the series is quite intriguing. It also offers a different approach on super human stories that have been told up till now.
