Don't believe the hype: though some critics and viewers decried the sophomore season of the hit fantasy series Heroes, the core of the program remained as strong as in its debut network run. To be sure, the 2007-2008 Writers Guild strike hobbled the show, and producers stumbled by stranding two of its most intriguing characters: Super-charged Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia) is taken out of the action after being struck with amnesia, while Hiro (Masi Oka) is sent to feudal Japan, where he encounters his own idol, Takezo Kenzei (David Anders). Both are overcomplicated story arcs, even by Heroes standards, and their connection to the rest of the season occasionally requires some mental gymnastics. But the crux of the season--the Company's development of the power-draining Shanti virus and its potentially devastating effects on both average citizens and superhumans like Niki Sanders (Ali Larter), The Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis) and primary villain Sylar (Zachary Quinto)--is solid, gripping material. The introduction of new characters like the lethal Maya (Dania Ramirez) and Kristen Bell as the electrically charged (in both the literal and figurative sense) Elle Bishop also up the dramatic stakes, even if their presence may require a scorecard for some viewers. In short, the few kinks in the armor of Heroes: Season 2 ultimately don't detract from the show's drive and vision. Season two spreads its supplemental features across all four of its discs; chief among these are commentary tracks by the cast and crew on all eleven episodes. The participating talent ranges from creator Tim Kring and stars Ventimiglia, Oka, Quinto and Greg Grunberg to composers Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin, which helps to provide a wide variety of information about almost every aspect of the show's production. Featurettes cover everything from the history of Takezo Kenzei to in-depth looks at scenes from the season, while "Untold Stories" explores storylines that were left unfinished due to the writers' strike. The key extras are, of course, the alternate ending to the season finale (which is unfortunately revealed by the rear cover-art text) and an info-heavy sneak peek at Season 3. --Paul Gaita

yes, its a short season but it still displays the creativity we saw in Season 1. We get introduced to some new characters and some different aspects of the old ones. This is obviously by no means a perfect season but its still good for the show, the overall story of Heroes and the writers strike it aired in. If you love Heroes you will love this. Plus, Season 3 looks to be extremely promising.
Not disappointed! September 8, 2008

I agree with the more recent reviews of this season. I too was prepared for an awful viewing experience, but after watching the entire Season 2 in 2 days, I was very satisfied! Maybe it was lowered expectations or the fact that I did not set aside time each week to watch the show, but either way I did not feel particularly cheated by this season. It is hard to meet the level of excitement of a first season, but considering the strike and shortened plot line I think Season 2 is well worth watching and owning!

I fell in love with this show when I first saw it. It has all the right elements. Action, adventure, mystery, comedy and wonderful speical effects. Season two was not a let down for people who appreciate good television shows. It was different from season but. Perhaps that is why many so-called fans turned away from it. But we loyal fans stayed faithful to the show. I am buying season two when it is available on DVD, and I look forward to season three. It is going to be awesome.
Still great August 29, 2008

Really, the only reason season 1 is better than this show is the fact that it is twice as long. Shows like this, you cannot stop watching. So, it sucks when it's all over. But, luckily for us Heroes fans, season 3 is airing soon on TV. This was totally worth the purchase.
as good as the first season September 16, 2008

I don't know, what some people expect. It's a
fiction show and that's what you get. Riveted
on your screen from the first to the last
episode.
The characters develop, some dissappear, a few
new appear. The storyline is compelling and so
far conclusive and the season ending is
actually an ending. Not like other some other
shows an extreme cliffhanger, the plot ends
with an opening for the next season, as it
should be.
Now there are two things to hope for.
1. The writers have the big picture of their
storyline in mind.
2. NBC lets them do their jobs and doesn't
cancel the series, as so often happens to good
TV-shows without showing consideration for
their viewers. At least the companies could
let the authors tie up some loose ends for the
good of their customers.
