NBC Universal is offering a first look at their new series entitled “Heroes” on their official website.
Some people are born to be extraordinary. They thought they were like everyone else… until they woke with incredible abilities. In Japan, a lowly office worker can teleport at will. In New York, a struggling artist can paint the future. In Los Angeles, a discontented beat cop can hear the thoughts of others. Elsewhere, a high school cheerleader discovers she is unbreakable and a single mom realizes she has a powerful alter ego. Heroes chronicles the lives of these people and the lives of others like them – whose destiny just might be saving humankind.
The more I see about this show, the more I like… boy I hope NBC doesn’t f$#@ this up.
You and me both!
For some reason, this reminds me of Straczynski’s comic “Rising Stars”, just in terms of how the people wake up to their abilities.
I might be stretching it, but that was my first impression when I saw the first long ad for it.
What? No superhuman sistah? They couldn’t figure to add a black woman? In NEW YORK??? What’s up with that?!
*cough* The 4400 *cough*, or if you like, X-men without the costumes.
I just hope they don’t go overboard with the angst and turn it into a soap opera. I already have bad feelings about the government/conspiracy vibe from the preview.
It’s not on fox, so, we may get a full season out of it.
