Will they be Heroes for more than one day?
Famous for its plot twists and clever storylines, Heroes has hooked viewers across the world since it launched three years ago. According to recent research it’s been downloaded over 55 million times – that makes it the most downloaded of all TV shows.
So why the cult following? Beyond the clever scenarios and the fact that Nathan, Peter and Sylas are all pretty hot, the obsession is actually about something much more enduring. Think of the Greek God Zeus who could control lighting and transform himself into animals; or his son Hercules, Heracles like Superman, with super strength. These are character archetypes that have been repeated throughout the history of human culture.
And it’s a story that doesn’t just exist in myth and fiction either. Today, Real Life Super Heroes are on the rise (though we can’t vouch for their superhuman powers). Given the mayhem that the Heroes dish out on a weekly basis, perhaps that’s just as well for all of us.
