Heroes Season 2 non-review

Heroes makes me sad because it has such a potential for greatness but it hobbles itself with all this weird crap that it drags along. And lo, they did not spontaneously get rid of any of it between seasons.
I winced over and over through the premiere, and finally turned it off when it became clear that the show will now have two super-creepy child characters on it. The kids on this show are written and directed to act like experienced, nuanced adults, and I'm fairly sure at this point that it's less because they're supposed to be unusual and more that the writing and directing kinda stinks.
Those kids give me the willies! They're far worse even than sitcom kids who crack wise like cynical, tired gag writers.

And the adult characters they're talking to find it all perfectly normal! So creepy.
agree completely
