So yeah, early on in season 2 and it's not anywhere near as bad as people seem to think. What is the opposite of rose tinted glasses?

Instead they solved their problems with characters losing their powers, or getting new ones, or getting amnesia, which is textbook bad writing.

Reminds me of Misfits

Yes. Rudy really comes into his own after season three and stops feeling like a substitute Nathan and the new probation worker is great.

Yeah but then this guy came along and completely killed it all dead

This popped up last week

http://www.franchiseherald.com/articles/23291/20150306/heroes-reborn-cast.htm

quote:

Greg Gunberg, who brought to life telepath Matt Parkman from the Los Angeles Police Department, was reportedly contacted by Kring himself for the role.
"I got a call from the creator of the show, asking if I would participate and I said absolutely," the 48-year-old actor recently told Entertainment Tonight. "We will see! I will know very soon!"

Maybe they will use him to turn the show into Misfits season 5.

I don't think there has ever been a season of any show that I have not watched as hard as Misfits S5, apart from maybe Misfits S4

Compared with the first two seasons of Misfits, the last two were pretty bad, but compared with most other shows they were still great, and definitely worth watching. It's just the fact that the show started out so well that makes its later seasons seem disappointing.

It's that fucker Finn that just makes me so mad :argh:
