The show always had lots of POTENTIAL, it just never really fulfilled it. If they can recreate some S1 magic and sustain it, why not give them the chance? They did get fucked over by the writers strike but there where other problems ofc.

Most of the characters where just dull and boring really. Only ones I remember liking where Noah, Lindeman and Sylar. Rest I couldnt care about. The time spent on Peter and Claire was YAWN

Not holding my breath or anything but will check it out.
