10 Overhyped TV Shows You Massively Regret Watching
7. Heroes Reborn
Before Marvel came along and reinvigorated the genre, one of the best pieces of superhero media out there was the show Heroes, which ran between 2006 and 2010.
This NBC show followed the lives of ordinary people who discovered that they possessed extraordinary powers with a strong focus on character development and the relationships between the enhanced individuals. A popular series, Heroes scooped a bunch of awards too, which is why people were very excited when they heard it was coming back.
Heroes Reborn, a 2015 miniseries, picked up the action in a world where supes were outlawed on pain of death. Characters old and new took part in the story, giving fans a healthy dose of nostalgia whilst not isolating first-time viewers.
Well, that was the plan anyway.
Reborn was a shell of its former self - way too reliant on big special effects instead of the well-paced narratives that had served its predecessor so well. It didn’t feel the same and was dismissed by many as a cheap knock-off of something much better.
A very un-super ending for a promising idea.
