Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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 televisions. 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 Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The story just pulls you inI have thoroughly enjoyed watching Part 1 of this series. The story is well written with plenty of questions being thrown up. It is very much a mystery and my curiosity led me to carry on watching this way past my bedtime. I too have found their decision to split the series into two parts for European release a disappointment. Series 1 is now available as a single box set but the pricing is extortionate compared to what USA viewers pay. I'll be watching Part 2 next and hope it maintains the high standard set by Part 1. I'm certainly eager to find out what happens next. Rating:  - The best show of recent yearsHeroes was one of the most anticipated shows of last year and while I it was probably slightly over hyped in places, the show did turn into one of the best pieces of TV I have seen for years. This boxed set includes the first eleven episodes of this great show, as well as a large number of extras including deleted scenes, making of documentaries and a never before seen pilot episode. The show itself is brilliantly made with some great ideas, likable characters, a good script and a plot that is both interesting and involving. All the cast do brilliant jobs in their respective roles but the real star of the program has too be Misa Oka playing Hiro Nakamura, he simply brightens up the show every time he is on screen with his joyful ...

It is now almost cheaper to buy a multi region DVD player and import them then to buy it here. Rating: - AN AMAZING SHOWSome idiots are rating this product as 1 star because of the price. But what they forget to mention is the fact that to play DVD's from America you need a multi-region DVD player. Oh, and its up to the individual as to what price they are prepared to pay. And their 1-star ratings could put people off buying this product! IDIOTS!!!! Any way, onto the actual review. This is the first half-of season 1. You have a lot of good episodes here, which particulary deal with each Hero discovering their powers. There is also the gradual build-up of the main storyline which is very gripping, as you wonder how they will save the day. SPOILERS Hiro(someone who has the power to bend time and space) travels into the future ... Read More: Rating: - superb show, rip off dvdjust returned from USA and bought the whole series for £24. Well packaged with 7 discs. In comparison, this partial release is almost the same price in inferior packaging. so series is 5 stars, whilst the price of this makes it 1 star. however, the pilot and deleted scenes do make it an essential purchase. it's fascinating that they dropped a terrorist plot line which was so fundamental to the pilot episode. |
