You know the one I’m talking about.
Heroes
Heroes Reborn: It has potential
I work evenings and don’t have cable, so most of my current-season TV watching is done via Hulu. When I got home last night I stayed up until 3 a.m. waiting for Heroes Reborn to be available before realizing I should just treat it like Christmas: The faster I fall asleep, the sooner it will be here. And when I woke up, I got the present I’d been waiting for.
Heroes Season 4: I am still conflicted
There’s a level on which I understand everything Heroes was doing with season four, and can say it did an okay job of it. But there’s another where it wasn’t really what I wanted, and I was awfully disappointed.
Heroes Season 3: I am conflicted
Season Three is where I stopped watching Heroes when it was live. I caught a few episodes, but I didn’t like what was going on with characters that were changing or being pushed aside almost like they’d never existed. And this time around, I was also disappointed by characters that were, essentially, reduced to cannon fodder. But this weekend I finished season three, and while there were certainly some clunker episodes and some story lines I want to hate with all the rest of the people who hate the later seasons…I actually liked it. Mostly.
Heroes Season 2: Better the second time around
Clearly, season two of Heroes benefits from the ability to binge watch. Because I have very distinct memories of watching it live and literally feeling like every other episode was verging on bad, and I was just one more lackluster one away from dropping the series. This time? When I watched 11 episodes in about five days? None of that.
Heroes and future stuff
I surprised myself Wednesday, by watching an episode of Heroes…and then watching 9 over the next two days. I was mildly interested in watching its sequel series, Heroes Reborn, which premieres Sept. 24, but now I really am. We’ll see if that interest makes it through what’s shaping up to be a classic binge-watch.
