NBC axe the Heroes; will you miss them?

Friday 14 May 2010

You can read my piece about NBC's decision to axe Heroes at OWF, but I thought it was also worth a mention here because I've reviewed it from beginning to end, through thick and thin. I'm not going to shed any tears over its passing, because it was creatively dead a few years ago and deserved to be cancelled, but it's definitely a shame Tim Kring and his team never found a way to capitalize on that heady debut year. I guess part of its legacy will be as a warning to showrunners that you're only one half-season away from a slow, lingering death, no matter how successful your show was to begin with.
