Well, it's an ancient BBC show, and they are probably keeping the same name to try to get old fans of the show to notice it.
Same producer as Arrow, so hopefully it's as good as that show. But they're teenagers, so we will probably get lots of angst and teen relationship drama. Not to mention the whole "reluctant hero" shit from the trailer, made me want to vomit. It's just been used way too many times, I'm tired of some random fuck getting awesome powers and then whining incessantly for several episodes. Other than that, looks pretty good. The original was one of my fave shows back in the day, so I'll definitely give it a shot.

Yeah, 30 years ago (81-84ish). It was called "The Third Eye", and included Under the Mountain, Into the Labyrinth, and other cult kid sci-fi stuff. All except Doctor Who
Shrug, if they do one season as good as heroes s1, then I will be happy regardless of what they do with it afterwards.

I used to watch the original as a kid and was really liking it until it just stopped mid season. I am not sure if that was because the show was cancelled or the local PBS just stopped showing it for some reason.

Pretty decent. Stays true to the original material but nicely updated with a bit more tension. The ending wasn't what I was expecting coming into the whole thing, but Lucifer as a main character is a welcome sight. Funny that the CW gets to have an X-men mutant angst show paired with Arrow when Disney/Marvel can't touch the topic without running afoul of their tangled web of IP.
Having an Amell family 2 hour block is amusing as hell.

To my shame I've heard of but never watched the original, watched this and enjoyed it. The "twist" at the end gave me a much more favourable outlook on the show going forward. The on-the-run from the evil oppressors trope is so overdone.

I liked it, will continue to watch. I love Kara's (hope that's her name) eyes. Well, and the rest of her of course, but the eyes in particular.
My favorite part was that they pretty much got all of the origin story and motivation covered in the first episode. I know there will be reveals about his dad, other characters, etc. later on, but all the typical angst over not knowing what is going on, finding out he has powers, finding out about his dad, blah blah is already done.

They certainly dumped a ton of information, almost too much. Seemed like an explanation show, but probably good that it's done and out of the way. great twist with how it ended, though still feels a little false, but interested in how it plays out.
Worried about the usual problems that will crop up. Here are a bunch of people with various super powers, but funnily enough it ends up in fisticuffs so regularly. They did do some effort at showing the integration of the powers, but I have a feeling there will be many annoying moments of seeing the lack of using their powers appropriately.
Still, good enough to keep watching.
