Not very thrilled with how "Heroes" is going so far in its second season? Well, apparently series creator Tim Kring isn't as well, and he's taking the time to tell fans that he's sorry.

Kring recently shared those comments with Entertainment Weekly taking the blame for a 15 percent ratings drop from last year, and complaints from critics and fans alike about how the show has progressed so far in its "Generations" chapter. And he wants to make it up by promising to correct it by the time "Heroes" comes back with some new episodes in coming weeks including more focus on the main stars, returning cliffhangers at the end of episodes, and re-energizing the story.

"We assumed the audience wanted Season 1 -- a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers," Kring said about the new additions to the cast. "We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake."

In the second season, Kring admitted that they took far too long to get to the overall story. Peter Petrelli has a vision of a viral Armageddon by the seventh episode, where the nuclear explosion in the first season was featured in the very first episode.

There also were a lot of mistakes about sending Hiro to Japan for so long, and giving him a love interest.

"We didn't give the audience enough story to justify the time we allotted it," Kring said. "I've seen more convincing romances on TV. In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us."

With the season likely ending with the finale of the "Generations" chapter on Dec. 3, Kring said when the show returns to production following the writers strike, he intends to reboot the series and hopefully win back many of the viewers who decided to find something else to do on Monday nights.

"The message is that we've heard the complaints -- and we're doing something about it."

"Heroes" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
