The series revolves around a group of inspiring heroes who face the ultimate conflict everywhere among them. Now, this conflict begins between those with exceptional abilities and people with evil motives, leaving a terrorist attack in Odessa, Texas, for that real conflict. In the meantime, it would be all the blame for this tragic event because those who have extraordinary abilities seem to have obvious psychological motives of course.
If you didn't watch Heroes, there's no point in trying this series. If you loved Heroes, this is a stinging disappointment. It is sad that NBC is repeating itself, and doing it so badly.
Unless the show improves from this more or less adequate premiere and shows consistent flair and originality, I can't in good conscience recommend Heroes Reborn over the sterling comic books, new and old, the property continues to imitate.
Heroes Reborn reintroduces a world clogged with new characters and conspiracies to unravel, but it's so hell-bent on being convoluted that those mysteries quickly lose their appeal.
Finally, a reboot that works - Heroes Reborn resets its pieces onto the season one playing board with a new mystery, new characters, and new powers that all lead to some fantastically bizarre moments of television.
The three episodes that were provided for review keep the various plotlines moving efficiently. One gets the feeling that the lines will eventually converge, which is not always the case in these large-ensemble dramas.
Fortunately, Heroes Reborn is one of the few revivals that has benefited from a much-needed hiatus and is giving viewers a story that's actually worth telling.
The two-hour pilot is necessarily jammed with character introductions and storyline establishment, but it moves smartly and some of the "powers" subplots feature very cool effects.
