Well, err, it was, ok! ( When I hear myself typing that I hear Frank N Furter saying&#8230; O.K?  I think we can do a  little better than that. )<br \/>\nThe production values seemed a little cheap, which is a suprise considering how much each episode is meant to cost. If you compare the look of it to <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Lost\" title=\"Lost\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lost\" rel=\"tag\">Lost<\/a>, then Lost wins hands down.<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t think the acting was all that great, in particular <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Sendhil Ramamurthy\" title=\"Sendhil Ramamurthy\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sendhil%20Ramamurthy\" rel=\"tag\">Sendhil Ramamurthy<\/a> playing Mohinder Suresh. However that could have been down to the poor script that he had.<br \/>\nMuch of the script and story seemed tired and hackneyed, with a number of inconsistencies. The biggest one that I couldn&#8217;t shake off was; Hiro lives in Japan and he and those around him talk Japanese. This is supported with Sub Titles.<br \/>\nMohinder Suresh starts in India and he and those around him all speak English with poor Indian accents&#8230; what&#8217;s that about? It might actually be correct, that might be how it is, however it just felt wrong when up against Hiro&#8217;s story. Reading the <a href=\"http:\/\/boards.nbc.com\/nbc\/wiki\/index.php\/Main_Page\">Heroes Wiki<\/a> there appears to be more inconsistencies with this character&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mohinder is from Chennai in the series and appears to be a Hindu, but his first name is Sikh. His last name is characteristically South Indian. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All in all, it was good enough to allow me to watch a few more episodes, but it will have to get a great deal better to keep me interested.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/wp-images\/technorati_small.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"15\" alt=\"Technorati\"\/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Tv\" title=\"Tv\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Tv\" rel=\"tag\" >Tv<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"BBC2\" title=\"BBC2\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/BBC2\" rel=\"tag\" >BBC2<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Mohinder Suresh\" title=\"Mohinder Suresh\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Mohinder%20Suresh\" rel=\"tag\" >Mohinder Suresh<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Heroes\" title=\"Heroes\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Heroes\" rel=\"tag\" >Heroes<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Lost\" title=\"Lost\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Lost\" rel=\"tag\" >Lost<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Sendhil Ramamurthy\" title=\"Sendhil Ramamurthy\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Sendhil%20Ramamurthy\" rel=\"tag\" >Sendhil Ramamurthy<\/a><br\/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/wp-images\/wiki_small.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Wikipedia\"\/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Heroes\" title=\"Heroes\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heroes\">Heroes<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Lost\" title=\"Lost\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lost\">Lost<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Sendhil Ramamurthy\" title=\"Sendhil Ramamurthy\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sendhil%20Ramamurthy\">Sendhil Ramamurthy<\/a><h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li>No Related Posts<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched the first 2 episodes of the much acclaimed Heroes last night on BBC2.
