In this series we can meet people who have special powers. Such as flying, invisibility, time control, mind reading, control of the elements and many more interesting ability. The series shows us how these "gifted" people try to understand the origin of their powers and how they can or can not make peace with it. Along this path they meet each other in various situations fighting their way in a world where being "special" is being not human. Soon they realize that the world is in great danger and they have to unite in order to prevent many disasters.

The main idea for this series is the allways actual good vs. evil mixed up with people who have special powers. But maybe there is a lot more about in it. Maybe it tries to show us that we are all different and still we are the same. We are humans. But maybe it`s just another action packed fantasy series that was made from a comic book. That`s up to the audience to decide that. And that is a great thing about "Heroes". Everyone can find something that he or she can love about this TV show. Besides the storyline is very good - in my opinion - and the visual effects are pretty well made.

As I watched this through many episodes I was "forced" to think about some questions inside me. The main reason for that (I think) was the monologues which are said by one of the characters at the beginning of each episodes. If you ever decide to start watching "Heroes", I recommend you to pay attention to these `cause it can be a message for you too.
