Heroes

Ok, I regret not getting into this sooner, but I just never made the time. I received the first season of "Heroes" and we're partway through watching it. It's one of the greatest I've seen in a long time, as good or better than the first season of "Prison Break." The complementary characters, intertwining storylines, building drama and comic relief all rolled into the classic archetype of a true hero story .. it's magnificent. The characters each strike a compelling balance between realistic and caricature, and the way each hero discovers his or her abilities is very tasteful.

Who knows whether subsequent seasons will live up to this, but for now it's a great ride.
