Heroes no more

The first season was fun, if too tailored for the ADD generation.  It has a comic book feel, and the characters were fun and even a little endearing at times.  The plot was silly but at least one knew who the villains were.

I caught the first season on DVD while the abbreviated second season was being broadcast.  From what I surmise, there wasn't a lot to miss.

Then came the attempt to watch the third season live.  Light entertainment has morphed into incomprehensibility.  And it becomes impossible to care about the characters when one can no longer tell who's good or evil, or even in what timeline they're currently over-acting in.

The writers only had one good season in them.  They should have quit while they were ahead.  Turn down that Hollywood money.  It corrupts, no doubt.
