Why NBC’s Right to Revive Heroes
NBC is bringing back its 2006 superhero series ‘Heroes’ as a miniseries next year. Forget how much you hated seasons 2-4; this is actually a good idea.Spoilers: I’m of the opinion that if you strip Heroes back to its original concept — which is literally “a bunch of folk get superpowers and have to learn how to use them,” AKA the most generic superhero story ever — then you have the basis for a good TV show.
