Early Reception
Heroes was one of the most popular shows of the 2006 - 2007 TV season. It received the highest ratings of any NBC drama in the past five years, and was also critically acclaimed. While some hailed it as the most creative TV show in years, others complained that its main plot point (normal people develop superpowers) was strikingly similar to USA's The 4400, the comic book and movie series X Men, and the shared world anthology books Wild Cards.Heroes Evolutions
Heroes does not just exist on television; the creators have created an immersive experience by building sites on the web that relate to people, locations and businesses in the series. Clues to future plot developments are embedded within the websites.It's That Guy!
