    Being ardent Heroes fan I still enjoyed Season 4 as the characters developed further,however, the carnival characters were weak and the story lines began to dry up. It was still ok for me though and I wished it had been given one final mini-series after all the hope it brought to TV after Season 1.

    Actually starts off rather well, but then runs out of plot halfway through. Would have functioned better as a 10 episode arc.

    Season 4 introduced new characters and a different plot, but it all seemed a bit rushed. Every episode felt like more could have taken place. It's still worth watching, but ultimately the best part was also the shortest. There are 19 episodes and yet only the last 20 minutes or so are epic and exciting. The problem arises when entire episodes are filled with content which never links toSeason 4 introduced new characters and a different plot, but it all seemed a bit rushed.

I would only recommend watching this only if if you have time to kill, enjoyed the previous episodes and want to know where it ends (since season 5 has been cancelled). If you're not really bothered, there are better things to watch. Expand

    My second review for this series is a comparison of viewer ratings. I believe it deserved the chance to get back on track with an interesting Series 5 that was more in tune with series 1. Vampire Diaries Series 1 only got 3.6 million viewers yet was renewed for a second season. Heroes season 4 had it's lowest viewers ever but still nearly doubled Vampire Diaries with 6.54 million viewers.My second review for this series is a comparison of viewer ratings.

Heroes season 4 had it's lowest viewers ever but still nearly doubled Vampire Diaries with 6.54 million viewers. Buffy had it's debut season at only 3.7 million viewers and peaked at 5.3 in Season 3 yet ran for another 4 seasons following this despite it's best coming in at 1.24 million viewers less than Heroes at its worst. Similar figures can be found for Charmed running for 8 seasons peaking in Season 1 at 5.5 million viewers and hitting a low of 3.5 million viewers in Season 7. Coming back to a more modern series is True Blood which only got 2 million viewers in its first series compared with Heroes 13.86 million in its first. Season 2 of True Blood 4.28 million and series 3 True Blood 4.97 million. Heroes worst season still got 1.57 million more viewers. So why was this series cancelled. Statistically it shouldn't have.

    Unfortunately they wasted the good will of yet another stellar season.
