Heroes is a character driven sci-fi / fantasy drama which takes a look at a number of ordinary people from all sorts of backgrounds around the world who find that they have super powers of one form or another. The series looks at how these powers affects the Heroes' lives. All of our Heroes have a different power that affects them in different ways. For example, there is one Hero called Matt Parkman who is a dyslexic cop. Matt finds himself able to hear other people's thoughts and consequently solves crimes that are baffling greater minds than his. And this causes him more trouble than a little in some cases.
