Heroes season 2 picks up directly where season 1 ended; this however should not deter any new viewers from this highly addictive series. Heroes is essentially a collection of inter-woven stories about a group of seemingly unrelated people with comic book super powers (flight, healing, super-strength etc), who after saving the world is the previous season are attempting to return to their normal lives. It would be convoluted and spoiler riddled to expand beyond that. 

As you would expect a show about superheroes, it has slick special effects, however these do not detract from the strong narratives, rather they add to the series’ lush dynamics. [The video and audio quality of the series is brilliant for a direct to television series with sharp images, vibrant colours and some exceptional audio, Dolby 5.1 Digital]

The special features disc is a real treat, full of content such as documentaries on key characters, behind the scenes featurettes and interviews. The disc provides plenty if engaging content to sink your teeth into well after the completion of the series. 

Heroes is a truly captivating series, and this DVD set will allow you to watch each cliff hanging episode without the week long wait. This is an absorbing and original series, well worth the effort.

[Editor: After the first season, Sylar was one of the most unique villains on TV, however Season introduces Adam, although not as diabolical as Sylar, still provides the second season with enough intrigue. The relation between Hiro and Adam is great as he travels to the present from the past]
