Season 2

The NBC science fiction serial drama series Heroes follows the lives of people across the globe who possess various superhuman powers as they struggle to cope with their everyday lives and prevent foreseen disasters from occurring. The series premiered on American and Canadian television on September 25, 2006.[1] The first season, which finished 21st of 142 American primetime television programs in Nielsen ratings,[2] was released on DVD and HD DVD on August 28, 2007.[3] The Blu-ray was released on August 26, 2008.[4] Within the seasons of the show are "volumes", which allow the writers to focus on shorter story arcs.[5] The first season comprises a single volume of 23 episodes called Genesis, which is also the same title of the show's pilot episode.

Plot

The plot of Heroes is designed to be similar to the stories of comic books with small story arcs built into the series' larger story arc plot. Each season of Heroes is designed to involve ordinary people who discover extraordinary super powers, and how these abilities take effect in the character's daily lives.

The first season, known as "Genesis", begins as a seemingly ordinary group of people gradually becomes aware that they have special abilities. Events illustrate their reactions to these powers, and how the discovery affects their personal and professional lives. At the same time, several ordinary individuals are investigating the origins and extent of these abilities. Mohinder continues his late father's research into the biological source of the change, while Noah represents a secret organization known only as "The Company". While coping with these new abilities, each of the characters is drawn, willingly or unwillingly, into the Company's conspiracy to control superpowered people and into a race to stop an explosion from destroying New York City.

Cast and characters

  • Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli, the main protagonist; a nurse and Nathan's brother, gains the abilities of evolved humans who come near him.
  • Hayden Panettiere as Claire Bennet, a high school cheerleader with the power of rapid cellular regeneration. Marc Hirschfeld, executive vice president of casting for NBC Universal Television stated, "When they were trying to decide who the cheerleader should be, I literally picked up the phone and said to the producers, 'You've got to meet Hayden Panettiere.'"[6]
  • Jack Coleman as Noah Bennet, or "Horn-Rimmed Glasses" (recurring episodes 1 to 10), Claire's father and employee of the Company.
  • Tawny Cypress as Simone Deveaux, Peter's friend and Isaac's girlfriend.
  • Leonard Roberts as D. L. Hawkins, a convict who can walk through solid objects.
  • Santiago Cabrera as Isaac Mendez is a painter and drug addict with the ability to paint the future
  • Masi Oka as Hiro Nakamura possesses the ability of space-time manipulation. This allows him to teleport, stop time, or travel through time, but recent events in the series have prevented him from regaining his full abilities. Hiro was one of the last main characters to be created by Tim Kring; he was added to the pilot episode after Kring's wife noticed none of the existing main characters were happy about their powers.[7]
  • Greg Grunberg as Matt Parkman is a police officer with the power to read minds.
  • Adrian Pasdar as Nathan Petrelli, an anti-hero and New York senator who can fly.
  • Noah Gray-Cabey as Micah Sanders, Niki and D.L.'s son and a technopath
  • Ali Larter as Niki Sanders, D.L. Hawkin's wife and Micah Sanders' mother. She is a single mother with a dangerous alter-ego and super-strength

Production

Conception

Heroes began development early in 2006, when Tim Kring, creator of NBC's Crossing Jordan, came up with the show's concept. Kring wanted to create a "large ensemble saga" that would connect with the audience. He began thinking about how big, scary and complicated he felt the world is, and wanted to create a character-driven series about people who could do something about it. Kring felt that a cop or medical drama did not have characters that were big enough to save the world. He came up with the thought of superheroes; ordinary people who would discover extraordinary abilities, while still rooted in the real world and in reality. Casting directors Jason La Padura and Natalie Hart brought forth a cast of new faces such as Milo Ventimiglia who described the pilot as a "character drama about everyday people with a heightened reality." A heightened reality that was brought to light through the work of production designer Ruth Ammon. Kring wanted the series to have touchstones that involved the characters and the world they lived in.[31][32]

Before he began putting his ideas together, he spoke with Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof, with whom he had worked for three years on Crossing Jordan. Kring credits Lindelof for giving him ideas on how to pitch the series to the network and advice on the lessons he (Lindelof) learned about working on a serialized drama. The two still speak and support each other's projects.[33][34][35] When Kring pitched the idea for Heroes to the NBC network, he described the network's reaction as "excited...very supportive."[36] He comments that he has been partners with NBC for some time based on his six-year run as showrunner for Crossing Jordan.[36] When he pitched the pilot, he described every detail, including the cliffhanger ending. When NBC executives asked him what was going to happen next, Kring responded, "Well, you'll just have to wait and find out."[37] After the project was greenlit, a special 73-minute version of the pilot was first screened to a large audience at the 2006 Comic Con in San Diego.[38] It was initially reported that this unaired pilot would not be released, however it was included on the first season DVD set.[39]

Reception

Critical reception

During the series' first season, the American Film Institute named Heroes one of the ten "best television programs of the year."[40] Doug Elfman of the Chicago Sun-Times stated, "the show's super strengths are its well-developed filmmaking, smooth pacing and a perfect cast. It views like the first hour of a fun, thoughtful movie." Barry Garron at The Hollywood Reporter also stated, "Heroes is one of TV's most imaginative creations and might, with luck, become this year's Lost."[41] Less favorable reviews included the Philadelphia Inquirer, who commented that although the show had lots of "cool effects," it "lands, splat, in a pile of nonsense and dim dialogue." In response to the first pod of season one episodes, The Chicago Tribune went as far as saying, "you could watch the first few episodes of Heroes, or you could repeatedly hit yourself on the head with a brick. The effect is surprisingly similar."[42] At Metacritic, the Heroes pilot received a 67/100, with generally favorable reviews from critics.[43]

Ratings

U.S. viewers for each episode in the series, broken down into its five volumes.

The pilot episode generated 14.3 million viewers,[44] with the season high topping out at 16.03 million viewers for episode 9.[45] When the series returned from hiatus on January 22, 2007, the ratings averaged about the same as the pilot with 14.9 million viewers.[46] When the show went on a second hiatus during the first season, from March 4, 2007 to April 23, 2007 (7 weeks), ratings hit a new low; the lowest being 11.14 million viewers during part one of the three part finale, "The Hard Part."[47]
