Someone, somewhere in America does nothing but think of things to make us brits salivate and rue the day they bought into the idea that the best TV we can come up with is a remake of a eons-old drama about a doctor and a bird and some daleks and some monsters and shit.
To a lot of people, Heroes will send their geek-o-meter into overdrive, but those lot can just fuck right off.
Heroes is great because:
- It is a bit like X-men but without the shit bits
- It is a bit like Lost but without the Polar bears
- It is a bit like 24 but without a cougar in a mountain
- It is a bit like Seven but without Gwyneth Paltrow
- It is both preposterous and amazing at the very same time without being rubbish.
- It has both good looking men who can fly and sexy cheerleaders who cannot die. This is good.
- The chinese fella is the best.
- In time-honoured tradition it has a brilliant baddie with a scary name (Sylas)
It starts in a couple of weeks on the Sci-Fi channel and you will love it.
