I'm watching it... mostly because I'll give any comic-book inspired property a chance. It's going a little slow and dark for my taste. The "Hiro" character is the only one that seems essentially undamaged - the rest are almost all very dark characters. I think they need to lighten up just a little bit. I don't mind a slow build but I worry that it's going to lose viewers for it. I liked "Surface" (which the pacing and multiple story-line of this show reminds me off) as well look where that ended up. Still I see a lot of potential. I would love it to take a Grant Morrison "Doom Patrol" turn... perhaps the best example of mature "super group" writing ever. In fact the Morrison "Doom Patrol" would make an exceedingly excellent series... I would just love to see "Crazy Jane" (the stripper-character in "Heros" reminds me a bit of Black Annis). I was also a little disappointed that we didn't (yet?) get to explore a character unable to hide their "gift". A "Concrete" or "Ben Grimm" kind of character would have been nice to see. Still now that I've officially given up on "Smallville" (if anything happens on that show please let me know!) and they cancelled "Aquaman" before they even showed the pilot it's nice to have a comic-book fix.
