Heroes - Complete Season 1 (DVD) ... December, 2007 at Universal Pictures Video / Features of the DVD: PAL / It’s hard to remember a science fiction series that has hit so big so quickly. Yet by the end of the first series of Heroes, it feels--for all the right reasons--that the show’s been around for longer than it has, such is the huge amount of success it’s enjoyed. The setup is simple, yet undeniably intriguing. It essentially tells the stories of a series of people who discover they have legitimate, differing superhero powers. On top of that, these people then gradually appreciate that these powers are needed for reasons that soon become apparent, and the story of Heroes builds up from there. Heavily influenced by comics both in its structure and story, Heroes sustains interest through a number of story arcs of different magnitudes, skilfully weaving them throughout the 23 episodes that make up the season. It’s contained enough to keep you interested, yet offers enough threads to make several more seasons a very appealing prospect. Heroes, though, really gels because the basics are right. It’s plotted intelligently, written and directed with real nerve and talent, and has a cast who you can’t help but get emotionally involved with. It’s also, for the overwhelming majority of its episodes, utterly compelling television. Ironically, its few miss-steps of any note come right at the back end, by which time you really would forgive it pretty much anything. Heroes is rightly being heralded as a sci-fi classic in the making. Yet even if subsequent seasons don’t fully do justice to those words--and at the time of writing, season two is still some way from debuting--this boxset will serve as a glowing testament to just how good television can be when it’s just done right. Quite brilliant. --Jon Foster

He is a very angry and envious man who doesn't let anything get in the way of him acquiring new powers - even having to kill those with powers he craves is not a problem. His powers are very similar to those of Peter Petrelli in that he can acquire the abilities of others, but are amplified by his intensely inquisitive mind (which is also one of his powe...more

Unless you've been living on another planet for the last few years you will have at least heard of the world-wide hit that is Heroes - the series that has spawned novels, graphic novels, actions figures, t-shirts and CDs. If somehow you have managed to miss the first incredible series of Heroes fear not, as it is on DVD and can be picked up at a very reasonable price. What Is Heroes About? Heroes is about the lives of people who have found that they have special powers that set them apart from normal folk. The series follows their lives as they try to hide said powers and what happens when they meet others of their kind. No-one yet knows why some ...  Read the complete review

I have only recently got caught up the Heroes phenomenon. And the link was, well ridiculous. I watched a Gilmore Girls DVD and thought the guy who played Jess was a great actor (yes yes, he's very pretty too) and looked him up, realised it was "the guy from Heroes" so thought I would give it a watch and see if I liked it. There are 23 episodes in Season One and I was absolutely hooked from the start. The first few episodes pretty much set the scene. We find out the back stories of the main characters. This begins with Peter and Nathan Petrelli. Peter is the younger of the two. He is a dreamer and an idealist. He comes across as quite naive and very ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review And they say that a hero can save us......... (491 words)

The DVD release of Heroes, season 1, was met with great anticipation. Heroes as a TV show was a great concept and very well executed. Perhaps the most praiseworthy element to it was its virtual lack of previously famous cast members, with the exception being Malcolm McDowell and Ali Larter, and they aren't the top billing in effect. Heroes is a saga that features people with certain abilities. The show is narrated, in effect, by Dr Mohinder Suresh, whose father started an experiment into genetic differences that create what are perceived as superhero abilities. Suresh's studies lead him to different people, all with abilities, and the show follows these people ...  Read the complete review
