I started watching this series on channel 6 a couple of months ago. I’m definitely not a horror/gore fan but I do like sci-fi films and series every now and then. This has held my interest and I’m looking forward to the next episode.

It’s premise is the evolving of human genes giving some humans superhuman abilities. These vary from the ability to fly, time travel, see the future, superhuman strength, mind reading to the ability to heal oneself or others.

The quest then becomes one between good and evil. Which “hero” will use their powers for good or not. The main villain is Sylar who absorbs the power of whichever hero he murders. The hero, who paints the future, paints a post nuclear blast scene of New York and this then also becomes the focus. Can the good heroes stop this devastation, should it be stopped for the good of the rest of the world, is it inevitable?

An excellent escapism hour’s entertainment each week!
