 Amazing season so far July 13, 2008
Peter J. Hodgson (UK)
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
A lot of fans got pissed due to all the new characters they lost sight that this is clearly a great season. The creators clearly had a rough gig with the writers strike so they hammered out these fine episodes to wet our appitites and wanting more by bombarding us with questions. Dont fear the creators intend on delivering on this perplexing second season and you may find that the new characters you hate maybe your new favorites in the following seasons. So lets all hope that they dont have another strike.
One of the best shows on TV July 31, 2008

This second season of the brilliant Heroes TV show was sadly curtailed by the writers strike and the first half was widely slated by both critics and fans but personally I feel it is just as good as season one. I would admit that this season is not without its problems; Peters' amnesia plot is terribly clichéd, many of the new characters aren't terribly interesting or well acted (especially anyone with an `Irish' accent), and Hiro probably stayed in the past slightly too long. These are all little things however and they are far outweighed by the brilliant and involving writing and competent performances by most of the main cast.
Although it does go on for a bit too long, one of the highlights of the season for me has to be Hiro's adventures in feudal Japan. Despite the plot of this part of the season being somewhat predictable, it is nonetheless a greatly interesting and well made story. It is also a shame that season was cut short as it was definitely hitting its stride during the latter episodes of season two. Overall despite a few missed steps, season two is a great season that is definitely better watched on DVD rather than weekly. Heroes easily remains one of best shows on television at present.
To all those who complain about pricing May 22, 2008

I don't mean to seem angry, but to all those who have nothing better to do than to moan about the price difference from american amazon to here, even as great as that may be, you should either get a higher paying job or keep your useless comments to yourselves!
If you search region 2, then there are some great deals out there.
By the way, Heroes is amazing, just to make this comment legitimatee ;-)
You Ether Love Season 2 Or Hate Season 2 September 24, 2008

It's the season that split the world, You ether love this season or hate it. The story picks up 4 months on which gives the season a mysterious feel, however this also makes it very confusing.
Before I bought this season I heard that it was rubbish and boring, and i focuses on the new charcters too much, which put me off buying it. But I was so desprate to see what all the fuss was about, when I realised that personaly, I enjoyed Season 2 more than Season 1.
Season 2 is slower paced and it all builds up two the end slowly, unlike season 1 which had sort of side stories to keep you entertained. Their is a good storyline which makes you desprate to skip to the end. But then the Stroyline dose get a bit boring on 1 or 2 epsodes.
Overall this is well worth watching ( but only if you've seen season 1 )

I loved this second season. The first was great, but I really thought things came together in the second. I know some people have complained there was too much character development and not enough action, but, for me, the balance was just right. I loved that we learned more about the characters and from that knowledge came a deeper understanding and respect.
It's a pity the writer's strike made this such a short season and that it changed the direction the story was going in. Still, it's a must-buy for any sci-fi fan.
