I love Heroes and having recently got a Blu Ray player, waited patiently for this to come out.

Ther series itself is fantastic. Some people didn't like Season 2. I agree it wasn't as good as Season 1 but I enjoyed it nonetheless. At least it tried to be different and some cool new characters were introduced.

Picture quality is good but not fantastic. There is an immense amount of detail but sometimes there is too much. I was particularly distracted by the Scenes with Niki as you can clearly see her make up.
Sound is average (poor for DTS HD). All dialogue comes from the centre speaker and although other sounds use all speakers as required, I was just as happy listening in Stereo.

Extras are patchy for Season 1. There are loads of deleted scenes and a few smallish featurettes. Season 2 extras are much better and there are PiP commentary on all episodes. Series 1 only from disc 3 onwards. I haven't watched the commentaries yet so can't comment on them. Also Season 2 has an alternative ending, more featurettes and an Untold Stories section.
