Heroes 1x01: Genesis

[khaosworks]

Just watched the pilot for Heroes. I had my reservations in the beginning when the text scroll that introduced the show spoke of "epic story" and "Volume One", which struck me as amazingly cheesy. Then it got a bit better, although I'm not quite sure what to make it of it all yet. There's some interesting characters, but they're all pretty much emotional ciphers at the moment; while the premise is intriguing, and it's a nice set-up, there's very little here to make me want to care about these people.

I'll reserve judgment until I see more and see where this is going.

I have to admit, it has the potential to do more for me in the long run than Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which follows it. Which is a real shame, 'cause I loved The West Wing and have been watching SNL since the 70's.
