i just got it today as im only a quarter of the way through, but as per usual heroes AWESOME, even some new characters, and as always more plot, twists turns, and fulfillment of territory no other show has covered quite like this. the only negative i have to through out there is remember the writers strike, so this season is only 11 episodes, well worth owning, but be sure to keep it in mind!

well the show has a lot of promise and i cant wait for the 3rd season. this show seems to just linger on and it could be better if it had a story line every episode.it feels more like a soap opera or a movie that doesnt end than a show.the concept is great but the way they brought it together kind of sucks.they should have a different story line every episode instead of the same story for a whole season...very annoying.

Season two of this hit show picks up four months after season one ended. The Bennett family has relocated to California were Noah has a new job at a paper company, a real one this time. Daughter Claire is supposed to be staying below the radar so The Company can't find them. But with a new boyfriend with a special power of his own, that's harder than it appears.

Meanwhile, Matt Parkman and Mohinder Suresh are living in New York City were they take care of Molly, who is having visions of a very bad man. Mohinder has gone to work for The Company, but he is working with Noah to try to take it down from the inside.

Hiro has stayed in feudal Japan as he attempts to help his childhood idol Takezo become the hero of legend.

The Petrelli family is going through a dark time as older brother Nathan blames himself for what he thinks happened to Peter. Unknown to him, however, Peter is alive and well and living in Ireland. The only problem is, he's lost his memory.

Then there are siblings Maya and Alejandro are heading to the US hiding a terrible secret. But when their paths cross with Sylar, things take a dangerous turn....

This season will forever be known as the season affected by the strike. Instead of the regular full season, we only got 11 episodes. That made some fans happy, however, since they complained bitterly about the show. Frankly, I was just as hooked on the unfolding story as I was during the first season. And acting and special effects continued to be great.

The main complaints most people had centered on the fact that the characters were spread out all over the country again. Yeah, it would have been nice if they were together. But the different storylines were a draw of season one. I bet if we had been given a full season, we would have seen everyone come together. These complaints were leveled even more against the new characters, especially Maya and Alejandro. Yes, I found their storyline bazaar. But with Sylar involved, I was certainly hooked on it. I did get very tired of Hiro's trip back in time, however. That shouldn't have lasted nearly as long as it did.

The creator himself as acknowledged many of the problems with this season. Hopefully, that means we'll get a stronger season three. While not as strong overall as the first season, I was certainly entertained. And you will need the background to understand season three.

So if you want to join the phenomenon this fall, get this set to catch up on the previous story today.

I loved season one of Heroes. LOVED IT. Unfortunately, season 2 really let me down. The writing wasn't nearly as good, the stories stumbled, and the acting even sagged with the general production decline.

HOWEVER! There is a ton of information stashed in this season that everyone will need if they want to keep watching this fall. I wasn't sure if I would tune in, but then I went to Comic Con, where they let us watch the entire first episode of season 3. It was amazing! That episode makes up for everything wrong with season 2. When this comes out tomorrow morning, I'm going to go pick it up and re-watch it, just so I'm ready for what is to come.

I make no excuses for season 2. I only beg you to give the show another shot this year, because I sincerely think it'll change all those skeptics into believers.

Heroes is a very good series, despite the writer's strike during season 2, however the studio has taken that into account and given us the season for 24.99. Not bad considering season 1 was almost $40. Worth buying in my opinion.
