Doug Elfman

The show's super strengths are its well-developed filmmaking, smooth pacing and a perfect cast. It views like the first hour of a fun, thoughtful movie. Read full review

Barry Garron

"Heroes" is one of TV's most imaginative creations and might, with luck, become this year's "Lost." Read full review

Rob Owen

NBC's "Heroes" is the best pilot of fall 2006. Whether it continues to soar in future episodes remains to be seen. Read full review

Tim Goodman

Shame that the writers strike killed the rest though.… Expand
