Sophomore slump is too gentle a term to define the atrocious second season of Heroes. After writing genius Bryan Fuller left the show after the first season to create the magical series Pushing Daisies, the show seemed to suffer from a case of the shits. Everything that made the first season special was gone. Storylines became too bogged down, characters too pathetic. A real letdown. The writing staff must take the majority of the blame, because they ceased being able to craft worthy stories, and made me quit caring about the super-human characters they created. On the surface, Heroes looks fine. But no matter how good that crisp, clean, HD picture is, a crappy story is still a crappy story. Fans are still waiting for a return to form. Let's hope Fuller rejoining the writing team will solve the problems that pale the show. That is a hefty burden we place on your shoulders, Mr. Fuller. Good luck.Genre - Sci-Fi/Drama (1.75)

Heroes also tried to take on too many different characters that weren't necessarily important to the story development. Now that they've begun to kill some off and stop following others things seem headed in the right direction.
