#1: Super Powers and Super Heroes: Honestly the greatest part of this show is that there are superheroes. Each main character either has a superpower, is fighting against a superhero or is a normal human trying to help a superhero. Each superpower looks great with the visual effects and cannot be passed up.
2: Music and Sound Design: Top notch music and sounds that send chills down your spine when events occur is always a plus. The sound design is brilliant. Each super power has its own unique sound effect which is pleasant to the ears.
3. Use of Characters: One thing that separates this show from all the other shows out there is the use of characters. Each character in the show is connected and don't know it until they all meet and work together to stop the threat. Why is this unique? This style of storytelling allows you to understand each character as an individual and value their own specific role in the story. You'll gain an added shock value when plot events happen between characters and you'll learn to like all the characters more.
4. Hayden Panettiere, Clare Bennet: Not going to lie but Hayden Panettiere is hot. She is one excellent actor and her role in the story is one of the most ironic. She's a beautiful girl that injures her body. Why does she do this? She has the ability to regenerate. You'll get a feeling of satisfaction when you watch her bones and other body parts break and heal back to perfect condition. It's creepy in a way but entertaining.
5. SYLAR: One of the best villains ever to be published on television is on Heroes. Played by the role of Zachary Quinto, known as Spock from Star Trek, Sylar is one character that you'll want to watch again and again as he kills and helps other heroes with his unique diabolical ways. You'll never forget his quotes and will be wanted to see more of him as the show progresses.
6. Nostalgic Nerdgasism: When you watch this show you will constantly see references from Marvel comics, DC comics and you will feel a sense of happiness for that inner nerd inside you.
7. Small Comedic Value: There are two Japanese characters. Both are really funny and seeing them adapt in the american world can pull some laughs out of some people.
8. Awesome Intro: The intro is sweet, nuff said.
9. Amazing Art: You'll see loads of sweet art within this show, mainly the first season. Painters and art lovers may like some of the works and the actor who plays the role as the artist as he paints the future.
10. Feels like your watching a televison show within a comic book: As you watch the show, all the text is comic text from the marvel comics. You constantly feel like your inside a super hero comic book and as each episode finishes you'll be begging to watch another.
Flaws: During the second season, Heroes was unfortunately hit hard by the writers strike. Each season after the first was not as great as the first but are still decent. Here's how I rank each season:
Season 1: 10
Season 2: 4
Season 3: 7.5
Season 4: 6
If you manage to get passed the second season you'll be fine for the 3rd and 4th seasons.
This show is fantastic and I wish that you'll consider renting it or watching it online in your spare time now that you have some reasons to watch it.
