Cool Sci Fi Channel "Heroes" is it REALLY that good??

All I'm hearing on TV is "Heroes, if you like Lost you'll love Heroes.." do any SNetters watch this?... is it REALLY worth watching?... do I buy the series 1 box set?

Confused....

If it is good gets popular, Sky will no doubt price the BBC out of showing future series. Just like they did with Lost & Prison Break with Channel 4 & 5.

first series has already been on sky, bbc is playing catch up.

Nothing like lost, it is actually okay to watch, thing is if you miss an episode or 2 it can be difficult getting back into it.

Yes, seen it and downloaded it, it came out last year in US, much better than Lost IMO. Worth watching. Although its finished now on Scifi,probably repeating it, but its starting on BBC2 on Wednesday nights shortly.

Kind of X-men isch. Seeing as you have the power to search, try one, there's been some long threads on this already DCI

Watched the whole of Series 1 via torrents. SUPERB.... Better than Lost and Prison Break IMO but you will have to watch the first 5 episodes before you really get addicted IMO. I enjoyed it more because I had the whole series on DVD in one go so sat and watched them one after the other.

Few things about it, at the end of Series 1, thats it the storyline has finished, there will be a series 2 but it'll be a completely different story meaning your not pining for months until the next series to find what happens (breath of fresh air ) Hiro is the best character you'll ever see on telly, such a big kid and makes me laugh all the time.

The character that Ali Larter plays is really annoying though
But as a whole, it's a fantastic show

Superb, don't think it's some kind of X Men clone or just for kids, it's a complicated storyline, well written and acted and there's a fair amount of gore, not sure how much the beeb will censor?

PS, episode 1, it's on tonight on BBC2.

Its quite good - not outstanding though. I think S1 of prison break is better personally. About 7/10 I reckon

It is a great show although I still think that Lost and Prison Break are far better.

Downloaded and watched them all a while back. Very good show.
I agree on the end of the series too, it was refreshing to see it come to some conclusion rather than 'Lost' in which I have lost interest and stopped watching it at the end of Series 2.

I've not watched it, the whole "Save the cheerleader, save the world" slogan made it sound very, very cheesy so I avoided it, might have to take a look though.
