The creator of hit TV show Heroes has issued a humbled apology to fans for a disappointing start to the second season.
The superhero show, starring Hayden Panettiere and Masi Oka, was the top-rated new drama last year.
But audience figures have taken a dip–with one recent episode placing 30th in the overall ratings.
And creator Tim Kring admits his choice of storylines were a mistake.
He tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, “We assumed the audience wanted season one–a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. They wanted adrenaline.
“We made a mistake–we took too long to get to the big-picture story.”
Referring to the recent romantic plotlines, he adds, “In retrospect, I don’t think romance is a natural fit for us.”
