No, it actually sucked (after Season 1). The dialogue was horrible, the plots were way too convoluted, the motivation of the characters was never defined (or if they were defined they were not believable - even in a comic setting) and the fact that Sylar lived after season 1 was the downfall of the show. He was simply too powerful and the writers had no idea what to do with him so they made him bad, then good, then confused, then bad - at the end I really can't even remember what happened to him.
It seemed like the entire show was written on an episode to episode basis with no real care as to what had happened previously. Entire characters were just dropped with no explanation and other characters we learned way too much about (Noah). Also, there were plenty of times where a character would not use a power that had been previously established for no reason other than it didn't fit into the 42 minute story they were telling that week.
The reason why people were over the top with hating on the show is because it had so much potential that was completely wasted. The writer's strike definitely didn't help but every season was billed as a "return to form" and it never even came close.
