I lvoed the first season of Heroes, but I gave up a few episodes into season 2, I just ahted the new characters, and was annoyed by the fact that they couldn’t leave season 1 behind and move on…

I only started watchign X-files about a month or so ago, and so far I’m loving it! Although I’m only up to season 3, so I guess time will tell. I agree abuot the conspiracy thing though, I much prefer the standalone episodes…

I liked it – but then got bored.

I loved (fancied?) Peter Petrelli though.

Dexter ís awesome!
Never got around to 4400 (should though) and I think I saw about 2 episodes of Invasion before it got taken of tv here :S

I watch them all – thanks to the wonders of Sky Plus.

Season 3 of Heroes has had me asking “what was that all about?” more than once at the end – but then I’m not the best at picking up on plots and things.

I still enjoy Lost, I have a closer relationship with the characters and actually ‘care’ when one of them gets hurt. (I know, it’s not real!)

But my very favourite series is Dexter. I love it! I squirm at the opening sequence every time, and hold my breath to stop him getting caught when it’s all a bit tense. I like the plot but also love the characters.

Does anyone remember 4400 and Invasion?

Series two just felt like filler. And the good stuff was very thinly spread.

Series three seems to have lost its way. I thought the original premise was “superheroes, but reacting like real people instead of comic heroes”. Series three of Heroes seems to be drawing its influences from the X-Men movies :(

Its got enough to keep me watching in vain hope, but like you very astutely point out, its all about the metaplot, not the individual episodes. I *like* conspiracy metaplots. But dragging it out, and making it the only substance will make me switch off (I’m looking at you here Lost!)

My kids are addicted to Heroes but I only watched it for the first time this week (yeah – probably not too clever as I obviously didn’t have a clue what was going on) My son wants to buy Seasons 1 & 2 on DVD and is convinced that if I sit for 48 hours and watch the entire thing I’ll love it. Apart from not having a spare 48 hours, I’m really not convinced.

@Acakadut: there’s an online ‘comic’ of Heroes (not that it was there before the series..but still )

Following your story, I don’t think you’ll be convinced by s2 to keep watching. And in season 3 there are some episodes that sometimes seem to make no sense till they fix it in the next one. But the whole plot is the reason I wíll keep watching because I want to know what the entire story is.

The fact that a lot of tv series don’t have episodes that you could miss out on or watch separately bugs me too, because if you follow it on tv, and you miss one episode, you get confused, A LOT! That doesn’t mean that they should make too much filler episodes *stargate atlantis anyone*.

I really like Heroes, but there are too many frustrating turn of events that a little common sense should have prevented. It makes me yell at the TV.

I always think that “superheroes” should come from comics. If the story did not released in a comic, then they can’t be called “superheroes” :D
