Amazon.co.uk Review
Truncated to a slim 11 episodes as a result of the writers' strike that was ongoing in America during its production, Heroes' second season nonetheless packs enough in to keep the momentum rolling on one of the most exciting Stateside shows of the moment. Heroes is, at heart, the comic book tale of a varied group of people, each with special powers that they struggle to come to terms with. With such powers, of course, come troubling foes and situations to face, and that proves to be the case here. So this time, we pick up four months after the events of the first series, and there's the small matter of the Shanti virus to contend with. This provides the main thrust for the series' story arc, and allows room for several interesting sub-plots to develop too. Yet while, in the world of Heroes, you suspect that this second series will never rank with the best, there's easily enough here to justify the asking price, and the show emerges easily with its reputation intact. Even when it's not at the top of its game, Heroes is exciting, interesting and polished entertainment. --Jon Foster

 Good fun but not complete November 11, 2008
Jens (London, UK)
I rate this a four for the fun of watching it.
I rate this a two for the fact that this is NOT the complete second series. This is only the first half of it. In fact, the title is just plain wrong.
Blended rating: 3 out of 5
 Not as good as the first, but still good October 30, 2008

Season 1 was always going to be a tough act to follow, and perhaps unsurprisingly, season 2 comes off as inferior to it's predecessor. Being half the length does't help either, but there's a noticable lack of focus to this season, and it takes a while before the central story appears.
However, I feel it's being slightly exaggerated as to how bad this season is. Rest assured, if you liked season 1, you'll find plenty to enjoy here. The mythology and background of the world introduced in season 1 is given more depth, and complexities are added.
So, while this season is perhaps not as good as the first, I still found it to be enjoyable, intruiging and, once it gets going, exciting.
 Unenjoyable, unfortunately. October 30, 2008

After genuinely enjoying the first series, this and the subsequent series are both a huge let-down.
With the only character with any substance (or core consistency) being Hiro, the second and third series has shown Heroes for the ditzy fad, deep down, you always knew it was. A sad demise for what is now indulgent, cliche-riddled, poorly acted piffle.
Watch The Wire instead.
Lacks the focus and excitement of the first season. October 29, 2008

Season 2 sadly lacks the pace and excitement of season 1. It is slowed down by some stories which take too long to get going. For example, Peter Petrellis trip to Ireland and Hiros trip to Japan in 1671, are dragged out week after week when they could have been dealt with in a couple of early episodes.
Another issue is that of the villains. Sylar was genuinely menacing, and the two main ones in season 2 (excluding Sylar) never reach the level of intensity that Sylar delivered in season 1.
It's not all doom and gloom though. The performances are still of a very high standard and, some of the effects now match big budget blockbusters that come out year after year and give Heroes a very cinematic feel.
Overall, season two just seems to lack focus. It was clear in season 1 that the writers knew exactly where they were going, What seems to happen with a lot of US TV series though, is that the writers have to fill 20 odd episodes a season and this makes for some dull episodes along the way. The writers strike cut short season 2 and long term, this is likely to benefit Heroes. The writers have admitted they made mistakes and season 3 promises to be more focused and get back to more edge of your seat thrills that we first saw in season 1.
Not season 1, but still good October 23, 2008

This series started off with the same quality as season 1, and got me hooked again. However, shame to say, this was one of the shows heavily affected by the writers strike in the US. The start of the series starts slow and builds just as season 1, but ends up speeding up far too quickly by the conclusion for my liking. I got to episode 10 thinking we were half way through, only to realise there are only 2 episodes to go. It all felt a bit rushed. In effect then this is really only half a series, and expect that season 3 will pick up where this left off. Some great new characters, so looking forward to Season 3
