Heroes is a very popular show that airs in NBC, Monday nights. It consists of 2 main female characters, Claire and Tracy. It also consists of now 6 male characters, Nathan, Peter, Hiro, Ando, Matt, and Mohinder. Claire portrays a high school about 18. Tracy portrays a woman in her late twenties and very successful. Nathan Portrays a man in his thirties and also very successful. Peter plays a man in his late twenties. Hiro and Ando play men in there early thirties. Matt is play as a man is his thirties and used to be a cop. And Mohinder plays a man in his thirties and is a very successful scientist. Matt seems to be the only one on the show that appears to be a little overweight. The main character is actually two people, Claire and Peter. It tends to go back and forth, they are to two main focal points in the show. Both of the women characters are dressed differently. Claire goes between jeans and a t-shirt and her cheerleading outfit. And Tracy wears more business clothes. The women characters are mostly portrayed as strong and independent. Rarely are the portrayed as week. None of the women are minorities or homosexual in the show. The intended audience is people in their twenties to late thirties. Because everyone wants to feel like they are a superhero of some kind. I think that overall the show accurately portrays women. They don't show them doing anything that any normal woman can't.
