The Once and Future Lawyer has a lengthy break down of Heroes and a comparison to Lost. It doesn't seem as though he is much of a fan, though he makes some logical arguments if you can sit through the long read.

Heroes is okay. It?s not world beating, and it?s certainly not original by any stretch of the imagination. Unless by original, you mean the idea of humans developing these specific super powers has never been on a live action television show, then yes, it is a new development on an age-old theme. To the extent that my initial assumption presumes that Heroes will, at best, have a two-season run, it only comes from my reaction after watching the pilot. Heroes appears to have fallen into the trap of those types of shows with little-to-no character development. Whether Heroes overcomes this hurdle and ultimately succeeds remains to be seen, and I will watch a few more episodes to determine whether the first show was just a fluke
