GBS I started watching Heroes on Netflix and I have a question

There are two characters who speak almost exclusively Japanese and there are entire 5 minutes scenes of this. Netflix doesn't have subtitles for the scenes. Is this intentional and how it was originally broadcast or did they do something loving stupid somehow and remove them? I've also heard I shouldn't watch past the first season - confirm/deny?

TIA

I watched like 5 episodes then skipped to the end and I was still caught up. I think there's like a million episodes in that first season also.

it seemed like it would be good first few episodes because it was different than other shows at time, was first show of era to really just do the too many characters all without enough screen time made for binge watching only shows.

apparently it's an issue with watching Netflix on a Roku device that can be fixed be uninstalling and reinstalling the Netflix channel. that's a dumb bug

Capps is a bad person.

I thought Netflix just scrubbed all subtitles though? I remember somebody was complaining about that being done for the character introduction things in Burn Notice.

that seems like a weird choice. i found a post on a roku forum about the issue because apparently all the subtitles from every show mysteriously disappear

i was able to confirm subtitles are definitely supposed to be there by just loading up an episode on a browser window. they're there.

To be fair, this is what you missed:

Short Guy: I have magic powers!
Tall Guy: Shut the gently caress up.
Short Guy: Here's me using my powers. *uses powers*
Tall Guy: Oh neat.
Short Guy: Wanna do a road trip in the US?

Depends on if it's worth watching bad TV to see just how spectacularly they gently caress up seasons 2-4, it's pretty loving amazing how hard the show tanks (and it already kinda goes downhill near the end of season 1).

"Humans use only 10% of their brains" was in like the first scene of the first episode so...
