‘Heroes’ review: risks remain
Sep 19th, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: Science FictionVariety: For “Heroes,” the writers strike actually came in the nick of time: Just as NBC’s promising sci-fi serial appeared to be careering off course, the work stoppage truncated its second season. Back with new spring in its step, the show continues to feature an intriguing assortment of characters and bite off huge chunks of story, but it’s time-hopping shenanigans risk wearing thin — again warning of alternate-future Armageddons that even the “Terminator” pics have never entirely mastered. Although the series remains plenty of fun, that might not be enough to halt its downward ratings trajectory.
