	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"'Heroes' may be the dark horse among this year's serialized dramas. It also might be a dud down the road. Because after two episodes, it's not even remotely clear what these 'special' ordinary people are capable of"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"Dense, dark, a little dreary and yet oddly intriguing, 'Heroes' seems destined to attract an audience that is more loyal than large. Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"It does get a little pretentious at times, especially during the opening and closing narrations, but its pretensions are very much comic-book pretensions, and therefore allowable in what is, fundamentally, a comic book"	NEU
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"The writing is uneven... but the idea is audacious enough to keep you following the loose threads"	NEU
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"Too much pretentious hooey about destiny obscures an unfocused saga of normal folks with odd powers"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"This is... one of those concepts seemingly destined to leave a small but outspoken fan contingent grumbling next summer at Comic-Con about its cancellation"	NEU
United States	Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"You could watch the first few episodes of 'Heroes', or you could repeatedly hit yourself on the head with a brick. The effect is surprisingly similar"	NEG
