Negative Positive
Title: Some excellent characters, but too many cliff-hangers
Review: I didn't watch all the episodes in this first season of Heroes, primarily because of the lack of resolution in the plot lines. I prefer shows like Closer, Bones, Firefly, or Dexter, where each episode solves a situation or closes a case, and the continuing plot lines have to do with the character's relationships and personal situations. Heroes does have some charming and intriguing characters (Hiro and Ando, Suresh, Matt the policeman, the cheerleader's father, the politician's brother), but on the whole, I felt like the writers/producers were teasing us, jerking us around like puppets for the sake of inducing an emotional reaction, rather than simply telling us good stories about exceptional people.
