Heroes

Things change, but not people.

Season one of this show gave me goose bumps. Heroes was reminiscent of X-men, with lots less tights and 80’s hairdos and more humanity. It was this humanity that added layers into the fabric of what was expected to be just another supernatural-themed TV series. But as the show progressed into it’s later seasons, the quality had slowly shifted from something real-relatable, into something overly fantastical. When you dig a well, you’re supposed to stop when you get to the water. What heroes did, was it dug too deep trying desperately hard to keep it’s viewers who didn’t need keeping just yet. Heroes dug through the core and left the world, leaving all of us treading on an endless path.

Fortunately enough though, the opening line, which is incidentally taken from the series itself, holds true. The Heroes Universe changed for the worse, but at least, the people held steadfast through the drama and retained their lovability. I guess this is why they got to a respectable fourth season. The characterization of the different heroes and their own demons are what made the four seasons strong enough to make the show still something worth watching. Heroes, will be one of those series which will forever be considered as one of those “greats”.

 

I know this post on heroes is long overdue, but I recently bought the DVD of he 4th season, so yeah. Leave your comments.
