Heroes started off with such a big bang. The episodes were so well-written and it really took the superhero genre to new narrative grounds on TV. The public fell in love with the series and it garnered massive ratings.
Unfortunately, the show never got to take advantage of the momentum. Heroes’ second season was so badly written and jumped the shark so much that it lost a huge chunk of its audience. Tim Kring, the creator of the series, promised to revamp it but whatever his team did was not enough to stop the hemorrhaging fanbase of the show. Eventually, Heroes had to be canceled.

With a news reporter, they will have to report the news to a news commentator (must be a real commotion on the streets). He or she must be 32 to 45 years old, any ethnicity.
