Heroes Reborn: Event Series
January 23, 2016 4:54 AM - Season 1 (Full Season) - Subscribe
As the number of Evos grows, some heroes of the past, including Hiro Nakamura, Matt Parkman, Mohinder Suresh, The Haitian René, Angela Petrelli, Micah Sanders, and Molly Walker, cross paths with the new, emerging Evos. Together, they must save the world from a geomagnetic reversal that will leave the planet vulnerable to lethal solar radiation.
lol this was so dumb, at least the Evernow segments had the most serious use of animation on a prime time network program in the United States since Invasion America in 1998 ;_; ;_; ;_; ;_;

Parts of this were interesting and major parts of it just flat out sucked. So at least that's consistent with how the original run went.
Was hoping to be rewarded but was not.
Also, why didn't Tommy/Nathan timeflash HRG to the hospital? Derp.

Argh, I wish I hadn't watched this whole thing.
Somewhere a year or two ago they put Tim Kring and a group of people in a room to discuss this possible series. They said "let's make a big list of the parts of the old series, Heroes, that failed, and the parts that worked."
Good:
- People discovering unique abilities and learning how to use them
- Fun characters
- A globe-spanning epic story
- People coming together to do good
- Some good jokes and some funny characters
Bad:
- Too many characters; confusing
- Time-traveling characters are too powerful so they kept having to make excuses for not using them
- Characters never communicated important information to each other
- Some characters served no real purpose
- Too many layers of shadowy conspiracies
- Time travel storylines didn't really connect together correctly
- Characters seem to switch from good to evil just because the story requires it
...and then they threw away the "Good" list and made a new show based on the "Bad" list.

This was some of the best worst television ever made.

I really can't add anything beyond what mmoncur said... except, at the end, there was kinda hope for another season in me?
Why is my response to a show like this so irrational?
