Season 1 Review:
All told, the premiere isn’t a bad step in that direction [recapture its early days while establishing new threads to reach beyond that core], but it’s unclear whether enough untapped power resides in the premise to ensure that the series can save itself, much less the world.

Season 1 Review:
Heroes Reborn, a 13-episode “event series” on NBC, may or may not satisfy fans of the original series (which ended in 2010). Judged on its own, Heroes Reborn doesn’t make an airtight case for its revival.

Season 1 Review:
Creator/executive producer Kring hasn’t learned anything from seasons two through four. Heroes Reborn suffers from the same excesses that alienated viewers--too many characters, too many plot threads, too many snippets of scenes that serve to advance little but the time to a commercial break. Finally, the show seems old-fashioned.

Season 1 Review:
The two-hour premiere moves with enough verve and vigor that it got me hoping that the show, despite its flaws, can be as engrossing as its first season. But the second week outing is a clunker that left me convinced that Heroes is more likely to squander my interest all over again.

Season 1 Review:
The newest aspect of Heroes: Reborn is that there are no new characters, only the same inertia that plagued the first go-round for Heroes. The superfans will be pleased if only because it's comforting to see long-gone characters return to continue their story lines, but everyone else will be confused as to why Heroes was resurrected in the first place.

Season 1 Review:
It strikes me as simply more of the same overwrought drama that we left by the side of the road in 2010, with a few returning characters--most notably Jack Coleman’s Noah Bennet--and a bunch of newcomers, none of whom is quite as charming as the young evos (evolved humans) from the first series, such as Hiro.
