Good show to relate too.
Everyone is saying these Heroes are role models and that they have flaws. No one is perfect. I found a hero that is my role model because we share the same ideas AND THE SAME FLAWS. People need to realize that role models are not always going to be perfect.

Pure awesome, but definitely not for kids.
Heroes isn't exactly original, playing off many X-men-like scenarios and even including several powers similar to different mutants (Claire's regeneration abilities = Wolvie's regeneration abilities), but what makes it shine better than a comic book reads are the people's stories. Each character's unique perspective on their abilities and how they must change to harness these abilities to save the world from evil (be it Sylar or an exploding man). However, despite it being very good, it's not for little kids. I, as an adult, can barely handle some of the gore, so I would highly recommend parents to watch an episode or two before letting kids young than 13 or 14 attempt to watch it. Otherwise, it's really a very good drama and can't wait to see more of it! =D

Can't Miss!
Great show for sci-fi/fantasy lovers! Scary characters and comic characters. Especially love the fact you can watch full episodes on *nbc*. No need to record them anymore!!

Perfect... just perfect!
Heroes, Heroes, Heroes - what can I say about Heroes? Well... it's EPIC. The first season, obviously, is the most compelling - purely, for me, as it is the original line up of characters, problems, relationships etc. Season two, although (only slightly) not as good as season one, introduces some awesome new superpowers and characters who are intriguing (my only major problem with season two was Kaitlyn - while i was glad that Peter left her in the future, it was kind of unrealistic). Season three was on a similar level to season two for me, very unexpected twists and a weird but entertaining finale. I've not started season 4 yet, although i think its on like episode 6 or something here in the UK - i have them recorded ;) Overall, Heroes will not disappoint it has something for everyone: Hiro and Ando provide the comedy, all the characters' personal situations provide the drama, explosions, decapitations, face-offs, and epic season finales provide the drama, Peter & Nathan provide not only tension and drama of their own through their on off brotherly relationship, but also gorgeous eye candy - especially Peter ;) and every characters story, though they all intertwine and have the same starting point, is completely unique. Also, i found that as the seasons progressed so did my opinions on the characters, i found myself falling in and out of a friendship with Bennett and Angela and especially, Nathan in season 2. But that's the beauty of the show - you get to make a connection with these characters and share a common interest... 'save the cheerleader, save the world!' Yatta!

Pay Close Attention
This show requires your undivided attention. The first time I watched it as somewhat difficult to follow and multi-task. The plot is good and the cliff hanger endings remind me of days gone by. It's great to have something other than Reality TV on prime time.

Worth staying up late for!
Absoulutly amazing- there is no way to describe it, If you're kid has a strong stomach for some gruesome parts, 11/12 and up, if not 13/14, even if their friends are watching it. Makesure they are mature enough to keep up with all the plot twists, younger kids may be confused.

A personal favorite...
This is one of my favorite shows! I think it's a good show for teens 13 and up. It's really exciting and action packed and I think anyone would love this show.

VERY gory! Do not watch if faint of heart!
VERY gory! I think that, what's her face, the girl who can regenerate goes a little crazy with testing her power and it gets really bloody! I also thought that the mobsters in the garage were pretty creepy! Our family only saw the first 2 episodes! Then we quit and started LOST! LOST is much better! :D

One word, CAPTIVATING!
Heroes from Season 1 to currently Season 3: Fugitives it has kept fans on the edge of their seat. Unique concepts, intense and interesting storylines, and extremely well done character development. Ranks among the best shows on television of our decade!

Think Crash and X-Men combined...
The show had a good season premiere, and with the teaser for the upcoming shows, it looks to have a very promising future. Despite thoughts that this would just be another show trying to jum ponto the super-hero bandwagon, the show is still original in its plotline and the way characters connect to each other (hence its realtion to Crash). There really wasn't mcuh bad stuff as far as content goes: one of the characters does sexual poses online for money, there were some images of death, but there wasn't too much blood, and was not nearly as bad as CSM made it sound. If you feel like getting addicted to another tv show, this is the one to pick.
