Collider:
Check out our full review coverage of new and returning fall TV here.
Bringing back old franchises has become something of a standard practice for networks these days. ABC has a new primetime series in The Muppets that just premiered this week, Mulder and Scully are returning to their whacky hijinks in Fox’s upcoming X-Files revival, and here we are with a return to an NBC series that debuted in 2006 and went on for a four-season run in Heroes. Certainly, looking into a world populated by people with powers struggling not only with themselves, but with the public perception of themselves is interesting, but is this latest reboot able to harness that quirk and intrigue that made its predecessor such a hit? Unfortunately, the answer to that is a disappointing “not really.”
Dark Matter Review: Although some of its runtime might be quite dense, there are moments in this sci-fi series that leaves you at the edge of your seat.
Down The Rabbit Hole Review: The movie has few, if any, moments that make you laugh, and it feels like it was rushing to its conclusion.
Beautiful Rebel Review: Biography on Gianna Nannini's life is a hit and a miss.
I feel it deserves a much better rating than this. I found it very interesting and it wasn't to mixed up or confusing. I liked the way they brought in different stories so that we wouldn't be bored.
Eh, I'd give it a 3.5/5. There were definitely some interesting elements. I thought the majority of the Katana Girl segments were stupid, save for the last little bit. I was pretty sad to see Zachary Levi as a bad guy, but I have hope for his character. The little season teaser during the end credits looks very promising, though, so I'll stick with it.
that katana girl part is horrible... looks like a game from 10 years ago, ugly face.. but i liked everything else.... hope somehow they work in the old heroes... can't wait for syler to show up hes out there somewhere....
I started losing interest in the original Heroes show throughout Season 2 because the show was getting so convoluted. In all, the story-lines connected to Japan seemed so forced (time travel, etc). It was just too much. Heroes Reborn feels like it's more focused than before, although this time I don't know if I'm on board with the whole underground railroad to Canada. I mean, feels like there would be a global animosity and fear of Evolved Humans holding such power. Seems like it would be more logical that there would be no escape routes, only hiding.
