"Heroes" Canceled by NBC

It is now final, we won’t be seeing the fifth season of NBC’s drama Heroes. Yup, no more Hiro Nakamura and Sylar.

NBC decided to cancel Heroes because of its consistently declining ratings and high cost. The show’s first season have an average of 14.5 million viewers. Succeeding seasons on the other hand failed to capture the same audience average, falling to 6.5 million. When it last aired on Feb. 8, it only brought in 4.4 million viewers.

The Heroes’ writers also struggled to keep the twisting narrative on track. Characters were killed off and resurrected with regularity. Narrative threads were started, then later abandoned without much story or a clear conclusion. At some point, the show was in a complete mess story-wise.
