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

- Highly Entertaining, and Visually Stunning!
The show can occasionally be overly dramatic and unnecessarily violent.Fortunately, the show also has a distinct sense of humor that counter-balances some of the heavy-handedness.
I can see how some viewers may find Hiro and Ando annoying, but to me they were fun.Though the show does meander, the writers do a commendable job staying consistent in terms of tone and continuity.There are numerous beats in early episodes that pay off late in the season.And the entire season works ...

- Didn't made me a fan of this genre
Having not seen the TV show, I went and bought the whole first season. I must say, it's not meant to be watched continously, but I did (my mistake). Imagine watching a 16.5-hour movie where the storyline/s are consolidating into a one non-progressing plot with characters that change but do not grow. The only suspense that kept me rooted to the screen was the question of "who's Sylar's next protagonist-victim?" The psychology of the evil Mother-influence was plumbed out (Sylar's, Nathan's, etc) I wept ... Read More

- Squid, Superpowers And Squandered Opportunities
About four years ago, I suffered a very nasty bout of food poisoning after copping a dodgy squid in a restaurant while on holiday in Athens, Greece. For the better part of a day and a night, my bowels were in a state that can only be described as 'Lovecraftian'. They spent every waking moment excreting a hideous, ichorous, noxious effluvia of the kind one would only generally expect to see following the disturbance of a mass war grave. It is only now, with the benefit of hindsight, that I notice a distinct ... Read More
