We don't have tv so we didn't catch it when it came here (nz), but we got it when it came out on DVD based on all the recs it's received; so far, it's been really enjoyable.

Ooh, finished season 1. I liked how they concluded the stories and alluded to the next story arc (much like a comic would) instead of doing what I a'feared (cataclysmic season finale w/ nothing tied up).

i started watching this when Lost went on hiatus back in may. I am addicted now!!!! Heroes is great, best Characters are Hiro (in season 1), Peter, Elle (The new character played by Kristen Bell), Matt Parkman and Nathan. mCan't wait for Cautionary Tales this monday! It's the third to last episode of season 2 because of the writers strike . As great as Heroes is it can't beat LOST

Am I the only one who thought it started out strong, but got a bit weak near the end?
I loved Hiro though. He's such a cute, typical Japanese person. Still, I'll probably watch season 2 if I can find the time.

Saw Episodes 2 and 3 last night (from Season 1), and I'm loving it so far. Hiro is amazing! Haha, I loved in the first episode, after he teleported, "Yataaah! I did it! Hello New York!"

Hiro embodies all that asian cuteness. No-one does cuteness like them asians. *squee*

Heroes is my favorite show on TV in a long time!
I'm not a big TV watcher - usually find it rather mind-numbing and senseless, but this show seems a bit different from the rest. Seen all except the last episode in Season II...need to try to see that, but it's hard as we don't get them here in Northern Ireland...maybe I'll try to pick it up when I get back to the 'States this summer.

Episode 20 ("Five Years Gone")....AAAAH! Wow, talk about plot twists...
EDIT: I saw Episode 21, and realized I had actually caught part of it a while back on TV, randomly. Good thing I hadn't kept watching...

Done with Season 2, and it was some good stuff. I've also read through the webcomics, so now I'm good and ready for it to come back on air in September.

I'm somewhere half-way the second season. It's a bit slow, but finally getting interesting again.

It gets that way, unfortunately. But I think it's got some great setup, and I'm expecting a lot out of Season 3.

Yes, it can be rewarding in the end, but it does require your attention constantly. And since all episodes are so entwined, you miss a lot if you miss one episode.

But yes. The recaps help to refresh your memory. And the last episode is great.

I never download video or episodes, but thank the internet for episode guides and transcripts! I've turned to those on several occasions when I miss a episode in a series that I need to know what's going on.
