Heroes - Series 1 - Part 1 on DVD (2006)

David Marks from Bath , 10/04/2007

Although This title is not out on DVD yet I have been watching this series online and it is amazing. This is the new Lost, the twist and stories in this series are so well thought out that they all fit, although at first you really don't see how and unlike Lost its not patchy and you don't lose interest or want to gauge your eyes out after the 2 millionth flash back. The Indesructable Cheerleader, A Flying Guy, A guy that can paint the future and the best charactor Hiro who can bend time and space all these players make up an amazing series which is very addictive.

If you like The X Men series, Smallville and all other action/comic book hero type efforts that come across the pond you are in for a real treat Book it reserve it beg borrow steal for it, I have :)

Heroes is now on it's 20th Episode in the US and every episode is pure quality, leaving you helplessly on the edge of your seat after each episode counting down the days until the following piece of this well written jigsaw. Tim Kring should be proud of his masterpiece here, move over LOST and Prison Break, there are new Heroes in town. Can't wait for the dvd release!!!!

I really really wanted to love this series and in parts i really did.

I have finished the first series and in retrospect it didnt quite atain the flow and quality of say 24 or Prison Break series1. There are alot of filler episodes in there and when its all said and done its a bit of an anti climax, with alot of plot directions that just baffle and annoy.

The characters are what make this series. If you know your superheroes then you will be amazed that the Xmen didnt sue, cos pretty much all the xmen's abilities are represented! Dont worry though no spandex, its done in a 'Unbreakable' way.

I found all the characters bar Hiro(by the end) and Niki(in the middle) brilliant. Those two at some points just ruined and slowed the tone of the series.

Cant wait for series 2!

When this series is good its AMAZING, just too many episodes were simply average.

Tedious, I could not watch anymore than 20 minutes of this rubbish. Typical overblown American TV trash. Don't waste your time, get a life!

If, like me, you missed some of the first series, this is just what you need to fill in your mental memory bank - well, at least the first part of what you need! Mind you, the plot is crafted in such a way that the word 'tortuous' takes on a whole new dimension!!! Since I missed the whole of the first series I had to go for the entire set!!!!!
