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

Save the Cheerleader, save the World!
I had never seen the series until my brother bought the DVD for me and I was blown away by how great it was! All of the plotlines are so intricate and each character has so much to give that it just amazes me that they got such a great cast that works well with each other. I really liked all of the characters although I would have to say that Hiro and Ando were my favorite. The whole plot line of people with special powers wasn't cheesy at all and you could relate to these people who aren't perfect and just looking for there little place in the world. The action kept you on the seat wanting to watch the next episode and hoping that Sylar would be caught and that you would finally find out who Mr. Linderman was. This really was a great DVD and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

Heroes Season One on DVD.
The packaging is awesome with all the amazing paintings inside and the black envelope displaying the solar eclipse.
Discs came all in mint condition without skips or freezes. Menus are animated but can be a little confusing with all the sophisticated painting designs. The imagery is neat and clear for a standard DVD and conveys an impressive feeling of realism when watching the show on a big LCD or Plasma TV. Extras are included abound, although some are not so necessarily needed, but it is best if you see for yourself.
After one has seen this entire season on DVD there won`t be anymore questions to ask about the show and its plots, eventually people love it or hate it. I love it and the product deserves 5 stars for a high level of american television entertainement.

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.
