Heroes is on NBC on American television.
It is a world with comic book style superheroes who are trying to variously understand, exploit, ignore, or escape their powers. It is presented as a convoluted series of interlinking plot threads and a slow explanation emerging that many of the heroes are blood relatives.
The story telling is excellent and most of the acting is good for TV drama. Hiro is definitely one of the best and most intriguing characters because he is one of the few to try to live up to the responsibilities of being a comic book hero, and because we have seen who he will become.
Micah is one of my favorite characters. His innocence and love for his parents is balanced with his fear of what his mother has become and his knowledge that he is the only thing keeping their very dysfunctional marriage together.
