Heroes - ScifiChannel Uk TV Series
Heroes Series 1 premiered on the SCI FI channel in February 2007.
Series 1 synopsis: As a total eclipse casts its shadow across the globe, a genetics professor in India uncovers a secret theory – there are people with super powers living among us. Amongst these are a high school cheerleader who learns that she is totally indestructible; a gifted artist whose drug addiction enables him to paint the future; a young man who develops a way to stop time through sheer will power; and a single-mother stripper who learns that she has an alternate personality with homicidal tendencies. In Los Angeles, a jaded cop discovers that he can hear people’s thoughts, a revelation which puts him on the trail of an elusive and sadistic serial killer. As we follow their lives week-by-week, we discover that their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the Earth from Armageddon. Each blockbuster episode costs $2 million to make and is littered with CGI and special effects usually reserved for Hollywood films. The breath taking action sequences and cutting-edge drama are guaranteed to keep British viewers gripped from start to finish. Creator Tim Kring says of the number one show, “We sort of made a pact internally that we weren’t going to be the show that made you wait for stuff.” Working alongside Kring (also creator of long-running crime drama ‘Crossing Jordan’), is Damon Lindelof (Lost co-creator) and Jeph Loeb (television writing credits include ‘Smallville’ and ‘Lost’, as well as writing credits for Batman and X-Men comics). With these credentials behind HEROES, there is little surprise that it has been hailed as ‘X-Men meets Lost’. |
