Sure, like many arc-driven dramas, it has slow points and weak plot threads, but as with its ensemble cast, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, especially for superhero fans. I would compare the zany <em>Tick</em> cartoon, which I also liked more than the live-action series (my wife and I still quote it to each other), to <em>Invader Zim</em>.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1710','GeneD'); return false;"><small class=\"commentmetadata\">Reply</small></a> | <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1710','GeneD','I also agree that <em>Heroes<\/em> is one of the best freshman genre TV shows in recent memory.

For me the best part of Heroes is Hiro.

Hiro is among my favorite characters as well. He can have a face-off with himself — how cool is that!

I find the story and all its characters to be dynamic and intriguing, and exceptional casting probably has a lot to do with that.
