Title: It’s still a good story and it almost answers no questions it’s worth it
Review: Love the story so sad it didn’t catch the audience like the first hero series did what a love to know who hammer and their father was and blah blah blah

Title: ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS OF ALL-TIME!
Review: Regarding the Blu-ray — the menus could be a bit better (seem hastily put together), but they work I forgive them because this show is so amazingly epic! Also, I’m getting a single season show on Blu-ray so that I can watch it whenever I want, so I can’t complain.Spoilers follow… FYII have never seen the original Heroes series. My lil bro came home one day talking about some “save the cheerleader, save the world” crap he’d heard a friend mention at school, and we both made fun of it for five minutes. That was the extent of my exposure to Heroes. But the trailer for this looked good, and I was in need of a new TV show to watch this September… so what the heck.I loved it. I felt like a kid reading Harry Potter. Watching these characters wake up to their powers gave me an adrenaline rush you don’t see on TV much anymore. The multitude of storylines never bored or confused me, and the pacing was just right to give me tiny clues, but not too much. And when the big reveal did happen… EPIC!The framing device of Noah losing his memories could get frustrating at times, and I knew there would be no valid explanation for it. It was plot device, and I’d have to accept the stupidity of the reason once it was revealed. Wrong! The explanation made SO much sense, and it blew my mind. I seriously think June 13th Part I is the best hour of TV I’ve ever seen.One theme I loved was the fear and marginalization of the Evos for being different. Sure, I get that people are afraid of randos with crazy powers, but the extreme, government-sponsored discrimination showed how far “the mob” is willing to take things. The heroes are trying to save the world and Erica is stopping them because, well, she’s a bigot. I think some people can overlook their prejudices in everyday life, and Heroes Reborn is a good allegory that can open their eyes. I almost think it should be required viewing… but I digress…Diversity was another big contributor. Some shows shoehorn it in with characters from races A, B, and C. Okay, we got all three? Perfect, quota met. This show didn’t have diversity for “inclusive purposes,” the concept is that Evos are everywhere around the world. It was truly a diverse show. Heroes Reborn didn’t have a diverse cast to win an Emmy, they did it because the story needed it. That’s kind of diversity/casting/story I like to see. Meaningful, purposeful, and not abusive or marginalizing.Speaking of the cast (and the writing), it was great. The acting was phenomenal. All of the characters were interesting. Tommy’s storyline (and Emily) was probably my favorite, but I love a good coming of age tale. I mean, all he wants to do is live a normal teen life. You’d have to be cold-hearted not to root for the guy. The Noah-Quentin bromance comes in a close second, and may have been first if Noah hadn’t been absent for the end arc there and, well, the whole twist with Quentin after the June 13th episode soured it a bit for me.Oh, and Hiro Nakamura is officially my favorite character. I want to name my son after him. His first name will be Hiro Nakamura. He will be the master of time and space, and that’s that.Anywho, the storyline itself was good. It lagged a bit in episodes 10-11, but picked up steam in the last two. I’m starting to notice that trend in 13 episode series. But the climax was phenomenal. The villain was well-developed. And magic was always there. I recommend it. Now off to watch the original series. Not sure I’ll feel the same, but ya never know! 🙂

Title: A better, but not perfect ending to the series (contains spoilers from Season 4 of Heroes)
Review: +++Warning, this contains spoiler’s from the final season of the original run of Heroes, but no major spoilers from Reborn+++Heroes Reborn is a thirteen-episode miniseries that aired in 2015. It was a continuation of the original series Heroes, which aired from 2006-2010. Heroes was always a cult show, even though it aired on NBC. It predated the Marvel Cinematic Universe of movies that, arguably, brought the superhero genre into the mainstream by a couple of years. The first season of Heroes was nearly flawless, but the subsequent seasons had a lot of ups and downs and could not recapture the magic of the first season.While the season is a continuation of the original series, it is not really a season 5. The series picks up after the real-world five-year time period between the end of season 4, in which Claire Bennett (played by Hayden Panettiere) exposed the Heroes, now known as “Evolved Humans” or “Evos” to the world, and a year after a terrorist attack at an event meant to bring Evos and humans together in Odessa, Texas. As in the original series, there are a bunch of individual storylines that cross over with each other at different points. The major storyline involves the shift in Earth’s magnetic poles, and a plot to use the fact that Earth is vulnerable to solar radiation during that time. One of the best storylines involves Zachary Levi (from the great series Chuck) whose life was altered by the terrorist attack and who is hunting Evos. The show is mostly made up of new cast members, however, members of the original cast do appear throughout the series, including Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), The Haitian René (Jimmy Jean-Louis), Angela Petrelli (Christine Rose), Micah Sanders (Noah Gray-Cabey), and Molly Walker (recast by Francesca Eastwood). The only main original series character who was a main character in this series is Noah Bennett, played by Jack Coleman. Notably, original series cast members like Milo Anthony Ventimiglia, Zachary Quinto, Ali Larter, and Adrian Pasdar did not return for the series, and Hayden Panettiere (who was starring in the series Nashville) was only shown in flashback clips.For those who get the blu-ray set, the series looks and sounds great in HD, and the special effects are very well done and are seamlessly integrated with the practical shots. The extras include deleted scenes, a 10-minute long making-of featurette, and 42 minutes worth of prequel webisodes which bridges some of the gap in time between the original series and the event series. While the series event does provide the show with a bit better ending than the original run of the series got, it still suffered with some of what plagued the original series’ later seasons. Specifically, trying to be clever with the twists and turns and just having one or two big twists. And, of course, introducing a bunch of new characters into an established world is always hard, but that was made easier by the fact that Noah Bennett was front and center of almost everything. So, even though it is not as great as the first season of the original show was, it is definitely worth watching and will probably give you a more satisfying end since it was not written with the expectation that there might be another season, as the ending of season four was.

Title: Not generally a fan of sequels, this one delivers.
Review: Was great to see the actors of the original series coupled with a new generation. Brought excellent closure to so many loose ends with Heroes Season 4. Enjoyed watching and glad to add to my collection.

Review: Would not play. Said ‘prohibited by area limitations’. Every disc of orignal series were fine a nd there does not appear to be anything different in description of this disc or indeed anything to suggest it would not play in Britain. I am not happy. Box was broken/cracked casing when it arrived but as discs were not scratched or damaged I kept them. Have thrown packaging out and I am also now having to shield again during new lockdown for virus so unable to return them. Money wasted plus was really looking forward to seeing these last episodes.
