I watched the first two episodes of the hugely-hyped series Heroes last night.
In summary - not bad, but I was left feeling that I really wanted something more to happen.
I'm glad that BBC 2 decided to screen the first two episodes together as they both really laid out the groundwork for later episodes and (I hope) the amount of re-iteration at the beginning of the second episode, which was really annoying, won't become a common occurrence. You do not need to spend the first 10 minutes of a 40 minute show replaying scenes from the first episode with a token minute of new footage in a small attempt to justify its inclusion.
I suspect that, for the series to have received that much hype, it must progress faster in later episodes and the need for repetition will dwindle. If not, I'll just tune in for the last 30 minutes thereby nicely missing the repeat of the last episode!
