 Remember how good the first season of Heroes was?

 Save the cheerleader save the world 
 This show was so fucking good. What happened to it? I don’t understand why they cut it 
 Season 1 was my favourite. 

Low viewership maybe? 
 There was a writers strike and when it came back it was very different 
 Rip. See this is why we need AI to replace the writers 😂

So the story wasn’t based on a comic? 
 Original tv show. Inspired by a comic book vibe but original 
 Haha before I saw your comment I noticed the picture and my immediate thought was, “man, the first season of that was really good…” 😆 
 It had it all, great villain, great hiros, great stories, complexity, graphics, novelty. That writers strike really wrecked it 
 I remember the moment where I thought it started to fall off. It’s one of the most ham-fisted product placements I can recall. Horn-rimmed Glasses Guy lets Claire borrow his car and she says “OMG you’re going to let me take the new Nissan Rogue?!”

Just looked it up and that was S02E01 so I guess that’s a long way to say:“Agreed” 
 That’s so true. I got hooked on this show 6 times. Only watching the first season lol 
 The plot just kept repeating they tried bringing it back with hero’s reborn didn’t do all that great but still kept the same actors 
 so good 
 Save the cheerleader, so she can leave u for someone later 
 It was so good, then it fell off a cliff
