Anyone seen the new series so far?

Spoiler
It pretty much has the same plot as X2. Find the mutants, find all of them.

I won't deny that I did get goosebumps at the promise of the return of Hiro. Also the Bennet thing is weird, very Heroes.

Zack Levi is actually pretty good but his section of story makes too little sense. Like I get that you can be pissed off at supers for being at a place which gets nuked or whatever and your kid dies buuut to carry on a grudge, killing people every day for like 4 years or whatever seems a little much.

Also the videogame girl has a weird power (or maybe it's the guys?) even by heroes standards

Teleporting kid is great though.

I re-watched the other series earlier this month and I got to say, it was more of a mixed bag than I remember. Sylar wore out his welcome by the end of season 1 but somehow stuck it out for the other 3 and the inconsistencies with powers gets kind of old. People on that show also shift from being next to pure evil to actually decent way too often. The best character development that went on I think was Matt's, Hiro's & Ando's, Niki's and Claire's. Even though every time Claire took centre stage I'd say to my brother: That's right folks, it's gonna be a Meg episode.
Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

It's armadillo, don't watch it. It just cements that the writer that left after season 1 was the only guy that knew what he was doing and Tim Kring can't produce for armadillo. I don't even know who the director was, it sure looks like there wasn't one with the amount of cohesion. Even compared with other series of Heroes.

The choreography is armadillo, there's almost no story and what there is is dumb, Bennett lost everything that made him cool and there couldn't be a louder shout out to gay pride if there were actual queens driving floats through Midian.
