Default Anybody watch TV series on Sci-fi channel called 'Heroes' ??

Attended a BBQ this afternoon and (other than getting fat) someone said it's quite good....

Never really heard of it before though, only usual TV show i watch/download is abc's 'Lost' and Fox's 'House'

Worth a watch is it? Also anybody got a brief laydown of what it's all about..

Cheers

heros is realy good but u cant start watchin it from halfway through the series as you will get lost

basically it is about people who are all likned by the power that they have i.e.thareling in time, flying. hearin poeple thoughts, painting the future and being invincible they are connected though 1 man who has died an its is about his son trying to find out how the are conected and about the people of new york tryin to save the city hope this is any help i would definatly download it

Smit - thanks to Paul, I have the first 8 on DVD format, and the next 10 in WMV format.

If you want, as a favour returned, I'll stick em in the post in the morning if you'd like. Saves the download.....

Better than Lost!

after hearing pon mention it on friday i downloaded the whole series and watched them all this weekend

well, i've still got the final episode to watch, but ill watch that tomorrow.

it's quite good, very X-Men, but has some depressing undertones, and is quite violent at times.

deffo worth a watch

i hope they only make a couple of series of it tops, as i can see it getting ruined if they try and drag the storyline out like they did with alias and smallville

best thing on the TV at the moment, really disappointed with series 2 of prison break, and as mentioned before about dragging things out - Lost is not keeping up to the high standards of the first 6 of the series so Heroe's easily outshines them all!

Great story, always a great cliffhanger, especially ep18!

Well downloaded the whole season so far (19 episodes) overnight from a newsgroup in DVD format (27gig)

I'm on the late shift this week so might watch a couple of episodes a night then have a lazy day Sat and finish it off....

Only on the first season though.... So won't take long to get through it

na, there's definitely more than 19, the final episode is called "how to stop an exploding man", i think there are 4 more left (USA)

I know thereis gonna be a 3rd season of prison break, but unless the finale of season 2 is good, I won't be watching it

It's getting very good.

Real shame none of the UK terrestrials snap up programmes like these.

Having said that, Lost is getting back on track too...
