The man behind hit Sci-Fi TV series, Heroes, has apologised for what has been widely recognised as a disappointing second series to date.

Many American fans watching the series have complained that the pace is too slow, and the storytelling is boring, these are both things that Tim Kring has vowed to change.

Kring commented to Entertainment Weekly:

”We assumed the audience wanted season 1 — a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.”

Kring also regrets recent romanctic attachments on the show, in particular sticking Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with a super-dud boyfriend and forcing Hiro to moon over a cutesy princess. ”I’ve seen more convincing romances on TV,” he admits. ”In retrospect, I don’t think romance is a natural fit for us.”

Kring insists that from episode seven of the second series, fans will see a massive improvement in the quality of the show, but as the series is to be cut short on December the 11th, due to the current US writers strike, the series is unlikely to pick up much pace by that time. Lets just hope that volume three brings us back to the Heroes style we know and love!
