Arguably the most talked-about television show of the 2006-2007 season, the Emmy-nominated fantasy Heroes gives viewers blends comic book-style adventure with plotting and characters as rich and layered as any graphic novel or drama series. Creator Tim Kring's premise is deceptively simple - ordinary individuals in locations around the globe discover that they have, for lack of a better term, super powers, and wrestle with this reality while facing challenges both global (the destruction of New York City, for one) and personal (indestructible cheerleader Hayden Panetierre has family issues - serious ones, as the true identity of her adoptive father reveals; Milo Ventimiglia's Peter Petrelli, who absorbs other powers, must overcome his own insecurities). Add to this mix a terrific villain - Zachary Quinto's Sylar, who hunts and kills people with extraordinary powers like our heroes - and viewers have a riveting series that exhibits an almost-perfect balance of cliffhanger thrills (the action and special effects are truly impressive for a network program) and genuine drama that sets the show apart from most speculative fiction (save, perhaps, the revived Battlestar Galactica, which it compares too favorably). The seven-disc set of Heroes: Season One offers a wealth of extras for fans, who may be familiar with some of them through the NBC.com website, especially the cast commentaries, which are featured on half of the episodes. Kring is featured on the 73-minute uncut pilot episode, which for some viewers, may be even better than the network version; the main difference is the degree of character development, including an entire storyline for D.L. Hawkins that isn't featured in the broadcast version. Also on deck are some 50 deleted scenes from the episodes, several by-the-books making-of featurettes, including coverage of the special effects and stunt work, and a profile of artist Tim Sale, whose illustrations are used for Isaac Mendez's prophetic artwork. Prospective buyers should note that while all of these supplemental features are included on the HD-DVD version of this set, the special Web-connectivity elements are not available here. -- Paul Gaita

everyone has powers
Interesting, and sometimes hard to follow. There are a lot of different stories and within each story a lot of detail thus making it hard to follow. I rated it 4 stars only because at times it got hard, but all together a great show. The concept of the show is very refreshing and very interesting. If you don't like sci fi i would not recommend it. Its very dark so don't expect a lot of laughter, all and all good show.

Very fun and interesting
I love Heroes. Every monday I would sit down and exitedly wait until it came on, and every monday night, I was left waiting for more.

That is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. I ALWAYS wanted more. It never seemed to answer questions, or when it did, 5 more popped up. There were SO many plots, half the time I forgot about most of them.

But that is me just nit-picking. Over-all it is a very fun, and interesting show. Makes me want super-powers, that's for sure :P I definatly can't wait to buy the 2nd season.

The 4400, I Mean Heros is a Wonderful Show ;-)
This dvd set is quality entertainment! I loved this show because I loved the show it took its ideas and premise from - The 4400. Some fans have said that Heros stole directly from The 4400 but I don't really care about that. I like the idea of ordinary people evolving and doing extraordinary things. So watch Heroes and then get a hold of all 4 seasons of The 4400.

Quality programming is hard to come by but these shows deliver it in bushels!

Enjoy ...
