Season Four of NBC's Heroes premiered on Monday night with a well advertised two hour event. It is unfortunate that the once triumphant show alienated its fans with disjointed story lines and repetitive, mopey characters two seasons ago.
The two hour premiere seemed to be on a solid course to "Redemption" (fittingly, the seasons title), unfortunately no one was watching. Heroes brought in 46% less viewers than the premiere of season 3, with only 6 million people watching. In the bigger picture of the series, the very first episode of season 1 brought in 14 million, and the highest viewership being the premiere of season 2 with 17 million.
I'm hoping its too early for this guilty pleasure to be locked up on level 5.
At least let them give it a proper ending... or bust out the NBC time machine and never make an season 2.
