Review: Heroes 3×19 – Shades of Grey
Wow. That was a bit good, wasn’t it? And bloody hell: it was written by one of the show’s writing assistants. Not even one of the writers. How’s that for beginner’s luck/competence or simply the marvellous influence of new/returning producers Mark Verheiden and Bryan Fuller?
Whatever it was, the threads of Heroes are all coming together and it’s really starting to feel like a decent, almost must-see show again.
Spoilers after the jump.
