Poll: Heroes: Do you like it?

[ZeroMachine]

I absolutely loved season 1, and volume 4, but everything in between was just bad. Kinda funny-bad, but I wouldn't watch it again.

Let's just hope they keep up the whole "being better than they have been" thing next season.

Season 1: Fantastic.
Season 2: Alright.
Season 3: Goodbye.


I loved it at first, but as soon as they started going crazy with the story and the characters, I stopped watching. Season one was absolutely enough for me, and besides, I liked X-men better.

Season 1 was slow and boring but watchable.
Season 2 was fast and boring and i watched it and i don't know why
Season 3 was fast, slow and had one or two brilliant episodes but by in large was rubbish.

I will watch all of Season 4 and I still don't know why.

I liked the 1st season. But after that all the characters seemed to become blank, just doing whatever the writers wanted without staying true to themselves. I hated the way they'd just switch sides and would do stuff totally out of character for the sake of moving the story on, but maybe that's just me.
The first season's definitely worth a watch though!

*WARNING - TOTAL DEVASTATING SPOILERS INCOMING*

I thought the first series was Genius. It was different, fun and it had fantastic characters. However since then it has been horrid. Its got Lost Syndrome with all the twists and turns and Pokemon syndrome with the huge amount of characters so you cant remember half of them.

This. Season 1 was terrific; one of the best things I've seen on TV in a long time. Since then, however, it has been very, very bad for the most part. I'm prepared to put a lot of Season 2's problems down to the writers' strike, but it still wasn't great. Maya and Alejandro had no purpose in the story other than to keep Sylar alive, and there were way too many new characters. The "Pokemon syndrome" was a serious problem, because you just didn't care about half these characters. Keeping Sylar alive was just stupid, as well. I don't care how many surgeries you have; you're not going to survive a katana through the chest!

Writers strike. The season got cut in half and the original writer left at the end of season 1 to go and make Pushing Daises (good call mate, good call >_>).

Then he came back halfway through season 3. This is why everyone says Season 1 is incredible, and season 2 is lacking, while half of season 3 is awesome.

This explains a lot. I really didn't like the first half of Season 3. I thought the plot had the same problem as Season 2's: the fact that the thing the characters are up against can destroy the entire planet. It just seemed overblown and ridiculous, especially since Season 3's "formula" apparently could cause the planet to explode, as seen in Hiro's vision of the future. The ending to the first half as a joke as well: they end the thread of Earth exploding by trashing a science lab. Woo.

The second half of Season 3 was much, much better though. I still think Sylar should have been killed off at the end of Season 1, but at least the story now involves something relatively down-to-earth which doesn't involve the destruction of the entire world. Honestly, I think the end of Season 3.5 should have been the end of Heroes: with Sylar apparently dead for good, there was no real reason to continue. But now it appears he's back again.

Can't they just end it now? While there are still some positives to take away?
