but I definately saw new heroes on the TV at my friends house as I was leaving. bugging me now ... going to check it out. Thanks for all you answers everybody
Apparently, the makers of Heroes already apologised for how incredibly bad series 2 was in the US!! so I for one will not be worrying about watching it like I did series 1 - which was great.
I have seen the first four episodes of series 2 and although it is a bit slower than series 1 it is definately worth watching! It does get better as the series goes on..
