In de loop der jaren zijn er heel erg veel goede TV series te zien geweest, denk hier bij aan Dexter, 24, Lost of Smallville. Deze hebben allemaal één ding gemeen en dat is dat hun eerste seizoen simpel weg briljant was en daarna afgleden naar een veel lager niveau. Daarom heeft de website Unreality deze lijst gemaakt waar ook Heroes opstaat, en ik ben het dan ook 100% met ze eens.

I wasn't as ga-ga over season one of Heroes as everyone else was, but I do have to state the obvious that it was way, way better than all subsequent seasons, which I honestly cannot believe are still going at this point. There was a clear villain (the mysterious Sylar), a clear mission (stop the exploding man) and the show never felt like it didn't know where it was going.

But as it turned out, the season ended with a whimper, and the whole mantra of "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" turned out to bullshit, as it later became clear Claire could never actually die at all. Subsequent seasons devolved into absurd plots and random character tangents that could never match the fluidity of season one.
