Lacey and I just got done with season 1 of Heroes on DVD. And we really liked it. I wouldn't say we loved it, certainly nothing like we loved 24, The O.C., or Scrubs. But it was a very watchable, very well-put-together show. Of course I like anything to do with superpowers, comic books, etc. So that part of the show was excellent. I think that they put a lot of good ideas of others together, in a very cogent way. My problem was that instead of borrowing, a lot of the show was downright stealing. X-Men, Fight Club, you name it, they stole it. Also, I think that the first half the season, they suffered from Character Overload, so you couldn't form emotional attachments to the characters. But that changed about halfway through, and I really started to care about the people. There was one episode in particular, where I even turned to Lacey and said "Wow, that was REALLY good." Anyway, it doesn't have much of a soundtrack, the whole Jessica/Nikki thing really bugged me through most of the season, and again, it's STEALING. But overall, it was very enjoyable, and we will definitely be tuning in for season 2. Lacey thought the season finale was a bit of a cop-out, and I agree, it wasn't as tense or well-produced as the rest of the season. It was almost like they rushed it. But still, good stuff.
