Heroes Season 2 - 4 out of 5

So not a great by the same standards as the West Wing and The Wire. But enjoyable none the less I think of Heroes as a guilty pleasure with enough artistry to it to not feel like a complete indulgence.

I actually think I prefered Season 2 to Season 1 although from a quick few google searches it seems I'm in the minority re this. The digressions of season 2 and the lack of telegraphed plot lines and resolution that are often criticised in the reviews Ive read are what I find make the season interesting and little less linear. There are, whether deliberate or not, some interesting questions posed by the story, some examples being mans quest for immortality, and exactly what does does saving the world really mean?

If your looking for some good entertainment with high production values that doesnt tax the brain too heavily then Heroes Season 2 is your gig.
