I've now watched the first two episode of Heroes. I was quite excited about this show. Sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. It just didn't offer anything new, in fact it was full of cliches:
The mysterious bad agent who is chasing the "heroes".
The indestructible girl (very Captain Scarlet).
The murdered professor.
The woman running from the gansters.
The dysfunctional brotherly relationship.
The oncoming nuclear threat.
In fact the only character I liked was the Japanese guy who could teleport. But I still wonder if they have read The Stars My Destination. I wouldn't mind if I thought that the writers knew the tropes and cliches and were trying to do something new, but I don't think they are. I mean, didn't the X-men comic do all this thirty years ago?
So, I won't be watching anymore.
