I have just finished watching the first 11 ep's of season one and i was hooked, great writing and acting, the show follow's these everyday people who have special powers and how they deal with them.
Can't wait to watch the next 11 ep's and season 2.
Highly recommend this show.

Heroes sees a group of ordinary people deal with extraordinary abilities. Although to the casual observer this may seem like another sci-fi, heroes is much more of a drama with sci-fi elements involved. Each episode, which acts like chapters in a book, are very character driven rather pieces, relying on the characters and there struggles to drive the story rather than relying heavily on SFX. However that's not to say that the show dose not have eye catching SFX to portray the characters abilities. Extremely good writing, goes hand in hand with the extremely good acting. Heroes is the most cleaver TV show available right now. However your better off waiting for the full season box set.
