The acting is good, the story believable, compelling, and interesting.  <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s probably something about being a social reject in one&#8217;s youth that leads to a love of comic books, fantasy, etc, etc.  I&#8217;m not quite sure why these genres are so compelling to me, but they are.  <\/p>\n<p>For those of you who aren&#8217;t familiar with Heroes, it&#8217;s a nbc tv series.  People with strange abilities from &#8220;around the world&#8221; (ie, almost all from america.  One indian and two japanese people not withstanding).  &#8220;Normal&#8221; people.  Who get an array of abilities, many of which are remarkably reminiscent of x-men, for the most part.  But there&#8217;s no professor X. This is a darker, more sinister world.  And more mysterious.  Sorta x-files meets x-men.  But more intimately grounded in real life.  It&#8217;s good watching, I much recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I admit it.
