There are a lot of great TV shows out there, but I find two of them are quite interesting. Lost, and this practically brand-new show, Heroes. Sure, it's first season is already on DVD, but I just got introduced, and frankly, it's pretty good when it comes to the thrill factor. The show is about a group of people who have found that they have certain powers, enabling them to do amazing things. One of the main characters, Mohinder Suresh, does not have a power, but has decided to track down and find all the "special" people and tell them about their powers. The main characters in Season 1 are- Nathan Petrelli, he's running for Congress and although he wants to deny it, his power is flight. Peter Petrelli, Nathan's brother who is very excited indeed that he has a power. He has the power to mimick others' abilities just by thinking about them. Niki Sanders has super strength, but can only use it through her other identity, Jessica, who is often reaking havoc. D.L. Hawkins can phase through solid objects, Micah Sanders is the super-genius child who can communicate with electric objects, Isaac Mendez can paint the future, at first only when he was high on heroin, Matt Parkman can hear people's thoughts, Hiro Nakamura is a Japanese who can bend space and time which allows him to teleport, stop time, and numerous other useful things, Claire Bennett is a cheerleader who can heal herself, and Gabriel Gray, a.k.a. Sylar, a superpowered serial killer who kills off anyone with a power by cutting their head open and taking their brain, which somehow gives him their power. He has numerous abilities, his first being the ability to see how things work. Most of these characters have no idea that the others exist, unless they are related in some way. At the end of the season, they all somehow end up in the same spot in New York. The show is, obviously, science-fiction, but it's quite a thriller, and the worst part about it is that at the end of every show, there's always a cliff-hanger.
