Heroes - Series 1 Vol. 1 (DVD)

Heroes is an American science fiction drama that tells the individual stories of people around the world with special gifts, from mind reading to teleportation abilities. Over the course of the series these people meet in different ways and try to save the world from a seeming inevitable explosion that destroys New York, and the murdering Sylar. Its popularity is shown by the 4.3 million weekly viewers that have watched it on UK Channel BBC 2.

From the first time I saw Heroes I knew it would be a huge success. The story line is brilliant and extremely well written with twists and turns throughout that keep the audience wanting more. Each episode ends with a cliff hanger that ensures anybody watching will come back to see the next episode. The characters are played very well with cameo appearances from Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who, Gone in 60 Seconds) and George Takei (Star Trek, Will and Grace) who only complement the acting standard of the cast.

Throughout season 1 we go through the individual stories of these ‘superhumans’ discovering their powers and using them, but will they use them for good or evil? I strongly recommend that you watch this if you haven’t already, and I am predicting that Heroes will be a best seller when the box set is released.

I have seen the complete first season and had a glimpse at the first few episodes of the second, and I am more than ready to see the rest! Heroes is my favourite drama series of 2007!
