Heroes

I’m not much of a TV person… In fact, I haven’t had cable (or an antenna) hooked up to my TV in going on 7 years now. So when I do like a TV show, it says something (and in the wonderful world of the internet, getting that show without cable is easy as pie. Mmm, pie.). Heroes is such a show. Sure, it has a sci-fi/comic book theme. But beyond that, it’s filled with complex character interactions, thrilling and thought-provoking storylines, and characters who are interesting and fully-formed, with actual inner lives and realistic motives. And the central themes the series is dwells on- heroism, courage, faith, discovery, and the desire to understand– are a powerful brew.
