I'm not a usual follower of English dramas. In fact, I've never actually sat down & complete watching any English dramas. When others are raving about how good Smallville or The OC are, I stayed true to my Japanese dramas. Not that I am not now, but this one really got me hooked. A rip-off from X-Men some may say, but I think Heroes is better! Waaaaaay better! (Maybe because there're 2 Japanese characters in the show. Ha!)
