The fourth and final season of Tim Krings Heroes arrives on DVD.
But does it conclude the show on a high?
The first season ofHeroesremains a landmark moment in television.
Then it all fell apart.
The fun, frenetic pace of the first season was almost completely absent from its follow-up.
(The season also introduced the worst superpower ever: the ability to kill by dilating your pupils.)
However, viewers had lost faith and, in February, the show was officially axed by NBC.
The majority of the plot revolves around the arrival of Samuels peculiar fair.
As self-healing cheerleader-turned-fresher Claire Bennet soon discovers, it is much more than a travelling freak show.
The carnival is a tight knit group of heroes travelling under the radar.
With season four, the creators have finally realised what it is viewers loved aboutHeroesin the first place.
Characters are given conflict that, for a change, is genuinely thrilling.
Extras
The set comes loaded with bonus features.
Alongside several episodes of the BBCsHeroes Unmaskedsupplement series, the set also comes with cast and crew commentaries.
Disappointingly, however, on only a couple of episodes.
