Heroes: Season 2

My entire family enjoys Heroes, and we thought this DVD set was very good. The extra information was fun to watch and helpful to understanding the series.

Heroes is one of my favorite series. I find the writing, acting and direction highly entertaining. Season 2 was cut short due to the writer's strike. It could have ruined the series, but so far it has with held the strain of a shortened season. It is my opinion that even though the team behind heroes did an excellent job, you can tell the season finale was meant to be a little later in the storyline. Still, for $25 (or so) dollars, this will make a nice addition to anyone's TV/DVD library. The characters are well drawn out and the actors do a fine job of becoming there character. The one downside to the series; and it can be hard to tell what the exact reason is, whether it is budget related, poor writing/ direction, or scheduling/budget conflicts with the creative parties, is that story lines will at times be rushed through or cut off abruptly that will kind of off set the pacing of the series. This is not yet a deal breaker for my belief in the storytelling, but it can be a little unsettling. All I can say is that stick with the story. This is a good show and from what little I have season 3 it looks like this is going to be a good show with a long run. Plus with this type mytho's being created they can come back to this universe in so many ways.

This season was good but not great. It was unfortunately cut short by the writer's guild strike. The beginning of season 3 was actually supposed to be part of this season and you can tell. The story in this season starts out slow just like in season 1 and then tries to pick up the pace as you see how all the characters are drawn towards their goals. I won't ruin anything here but it feels like the ending falls short because the we were supposed to be introduced to the villains. As I stated before, the villains story arc is now a part of season 3.

Good service and delivery was great as usual. However, I would say that the season was shorter due to the writers strike and still cost the same as season one which was quite a bit longer.

This season is shorter - due to the writer's strike. But that did not affect the writing. So many good new twists that just make you upset there aren't more discs to watch! Excellent show.
