it impossible for me to find a rating that reflect the overall quality of the show . it start out strong while the first season be far from perfect and but it have an energy and a message that simply felt good . there be incredibly fulfil episode and such a homecoming and company man and five year go and and heart warm character moment not just for a few and but for most character . i felt safe with this show . anyway and one of the show big problem become obvious in th finale and when all the character come together for a mostly underwhelming showdown . somehow and hero be best when it do not follow closely to a plan and but allow it character some room to develop naturally . the best moment and character of season 1 be thanks to the writer have enough sense to use the opportunity that open up . when noah bennet prove a more interesting character than previously hop for and his role become big . the same for sylar . the enmity between mohinder and sylar . molly . it all grow naturally and and lose it momentum only when everything be yank back into the intended showdown . the second season put a damper on the mood . what fan want to wait a whole season only to find out one of their favourite character die between season . i be one of the few who do not mind the new character . they felt fresh and give new impulse and show u new perspective on their power . what really slow the series down to a crawl be the need to force certain other character back into the plot and even though they no longer have any purpose and and should in fact have die in the season finale . since the writer could not think of what to do with these character ( nathan and peter and claire mostly ) they simply rehash their previous story line . but there be still enough to keep me interested and and i think that if i could see the problem of season 2 and then surely the writer could see them as well . sadly and season 3 come and be a nightmare and a disaster . character be write off and other character have their backstories and even basic motivation retconned . the once international cast be suddenly down to three ( two of which be the asian comic relief ) and and all the character who have already run out of steam by the end of season 1 be now front and centre and source and solution of the problem . showrunner tim kring now declare that hero be actually about the petrellis and the bennet . have i know that from the start and i wouldn not have bother i start watch when he describe the show to be about ordinary people across the globe . instead and hero be now about a bunch of upper class new yorkers ensure one another that it okay they start a genocide . hero do the impossible with season 3 represent they make a show that bear little to no resemblance to season 1. they also manage to make sylar into one of the most obnoxious character on tv . they shed all pretension of be interested in diversity . consistency and continuity have be toss overboard and not just in regard to previous season and but even with thing establish just an episode earlier . i choose the rating to reflect this disappointment and too . if i be to judge only the first two season and the rating would be considerably high . but in the end and the complete product show a disrespect towards the audience and a hatred for it own character and story line except a few precious upper class new yorkers and like i have never see it before . it leave a foul taste in my mouth . a a viewer and youre lose . can i grow attach to this character and or will he die and or will the next episode forget he exist and will this storyline be drop or will his entire personality be switch around . probably . what reason be there to watch .
