Ok. So I love Monday night TV. I work a lot of Monday nights and haven’t actually seen it on TV in a few weeks. The internet is great for catching up on my two favorite shows. 24 and Heroes. I’ve been a 24 fan for a while. Since my friend John Raymond turned me on it somewhere near the beginning of the 4th season I think? I don’t recall exactly. I have several friends who are bigtime 24 fans. This guy, this guy, and this guy all are devoted fans. This may disappoint them, they may disown me, but I feel the need to get something off my chest.
This season of Heroes is better than 24.
There I said it.
The character development and storyline for Heroes is simply amazing. I was comicbook fan as a kid. I liked both Spiderman movies and I’m looking forward to the third. But I’m not a comic geek. I’d never heard of the Daredevil orvghost rider before they were movies. But Heroes is everything great about a Super hero show. We get to see how the characters discover their powers, and how they cope with using them and how others around them deal with the changes that occur in the lives of their friends, family and lovers. It’s an ensemble which is so great. Sure there were a few episodes this season that felt like they were slow, but it’s starting to pick up. As character meet each other for the first time and push forward toward the mystery of how they got these powers it makes for great tv.
Sure this is the first season and future season will likely turn into the losing us like LOST does for me. Sure character can only meet each other so many times. Sure I’m comparing the 6th season of 24 to the first season of Heroes. But this season Heroes is better. 24 is still amazing tv. I still watch every episode. Sure, next year I may say 24 is better, but this season, as amazing as 24 is… Heroes is the best.
