5 New Fall Dramas To Put On Your Schedule
(2 of 2)
HEROES NBC, MONDAYS, 9 P.M. E.T.; PREMIERES SEPT. 25 Forget bird flu; in this thriller, there's a pandemic of superpowers. A cheerleader who can't be injured, a drug addict whose visions come true and many others discover their abilities in separate stories that promise to converge. The eerie mood of mystery recalls Lost, as does the big cast of characters (so many that the extra-long pilot does not introduce all of them). The writing is uneven--a plot about a Japanese geek who can teleport is engaging; others are flat or clichéd--but the idea is audacious enough to keep you following the loose threads. They just might lead to a cape.
