Title: Borrowed and Delighted
Review: I borrowed this from a friend of the family and what a pleasant surprise! I have pretty much given up on anything being truly entertaining on network television but Heroes is a delightful bit of escapist fun. For those "geeks" out there, the allusions are well timed, amusing, and just obscure enough that most viewers won't get it. The casting is brilliant and, again, a few nods of inside jokes there as well. Yes, there is a derivative quality to some of it a la X-Men and Highlander but who cares when it is so very well done? Usually I can anticipate plot turns and developments. This show left me very pleasantly surprised and wrapped up so many plot threads that I was sure the final dvd would leave them all dangling. I look forward to borrowing season 2 when it is made available on dvd! (Also, if there isn't already a soundtrack compilation of the music used in the show there should be.)
Is the review positive or negative?
