I try to watch that show, but I can never find it.

ACK! I hate Lost. I watched the first couple of seasons, and got board with it real quick.

So apparently the main character of Heroes (Claire) just died in real life. She was only 36 years old, devastating. I just watched the whole show for the first time last year.

I watched the first two seasons back in the day. It had many cool ideas and plot twists but the the acting was Power Rangers-style camp.

is the show worth watching in 2026? I remember watching the first episode and loving it when it came out but I was still just a dumb teenager, media has changed a lot. Perhaps it's just generic trash now since I didn't watch it when it was relevant

The first season is great, but the writers strike at the time hit it, networks refused to shelve it until the strike was finished so it very quickly ran out of road.

I think the novelty of “wow, this show is just like a comic book!” will feel pretty dated.

I remember really liking seasons 1 and 2 before it started getting too soapy and ridiculous.

Earlier indications sound like Hayden Panetierre might have joined the Suicide Squad.

I watched the whole show for the first time last year. The last season is weaker than the ones before but it's still worth a watch as a whole. But keep in mind this is broadcast TV in the early 2000's, so expect low budget for the fights and a lot of drama or long drawn out episodes. But for a product of its time, it was fine.

I've never seen it but I meant to give it a watch... but then by the time I was thinking to do so everyone in the fandom seemed to have turned on the show. And that revival didn't seem to turn anything around on that front, either.

All I remember was that Hayden was super hot at the time, as soon as she turned 18 there was tons of fake nudes of her all over the internet, and the bad guy in the show was the gay actor playing Spock from the Abrams movies and something about he eats brains, too. And a nerdy Asian guy was like a super-powered samurai or something?

The Asian guy is named "Hiro" and he has the ability to stop time and also travel through time, he's the funniest character of the show and he thinks he's a Japanese anime hero in real life. Claire (Hayden) and her father are the main characters, but there's a whole bunch of other characters with major roles including a woman who can control fire, a guy who can shoot lightning bolts from his hands, another guy who is basically Superman or Homelander but without wearing a superhero costume and can fly and has super strength, etc.

It's basically their version of the X-men where a whole bunch of humans suddenly develop superpowers and the government agencies try to keep it undercover, and of course the villain (who plays Spock in the Star Trek movies), is basically going around causing chaos in the show.

The first season is indeed the best, but the fall-off isn't as bad as the internet made it sound. It also has a pretty solid ending, it was basically canceled abruptly but it got a good enough conclusion after four seasons.
