We just finished Season 1 of Heroes about a week ago and we just loved it! I think this is in part, because it is a fresh take on the superhero genre and it creates (mostly) realistic people trying to deal with extraordinary things. The show keeps you guessing, trying to figure out who is “good” or “bad”, and generally gives you the impression that everyone falls into some shade of grey. The show pulls no punches and merrily kills off what appear to be main characters, possibly even the headline characters!
