As we all know, the US produces classic TV shows time and time again. The list is endless: Lost, Prison Break, The OC, 24 and so on and so on... Guess what? They've done it again, with the simply named 'Heroes.'The only show I can mention which is vaguely familiar is Smallville... I know, I didn't like it either, but there really is nothing out there quite like it. Think of a superhero show and what comes to mind? Invincibility, invisibility, time travel, flying... Everything you can think of is covered and in fine detail too.
Don't expect anything like X-Men with superhero action left, right and centre, instead you will appreciate the deeper stories as our 'Heroes' work out their powers slowly and begin to learn their role in saving the world. It all comes together brilliantly to leave you on the edge of your seat, waiting for the next episode.
It is hard to pinpoint exactly why this is so good, but in my mind it definitely surpasses most of what I've seen on TV for years, it really is that good. We're lucky enough to know people who can get us the episodes as they are shown in the US, but the rest of you will have to wait until it is shown on BBC 2, after the Sci-Fi channel has shown it, having already paid for the rights... Until then here is a compilation from YouTube to get your mouth watering with anticipation!
