(TV REVIEW) THE CAPE (2011)

Superhero shows are hard to come by, GOOD superhero shows are even harder...so, since I grade on a curve, I usually take it pretty easy on TV shows that help push the superhero agenda. This show is no different. Was it a great show? No. But what it lacks in greatness it more than makes up for in cheesiness...which is pretty underrated most of the time.

I don't mind a TV show being a little cheesy sometimes. It can be a little endearing. When you are dealing with subject matter like this, an excop that fights people with a mystical cape....you can't go in to it expecting a whole hell of a lot. If you start watching this series, like I did, with no hopes of it being good in any way... you might find that it is a lot better than you were expecting it to be. At least that is how I felt.

Storyline: Vince Faraday is a cop who has been framed for murder leading him to fall off the grid and become the super hero known only as "The Cape" - IMDB.com

Thoughts? The show is silly. It should be. It's about a guy that runs around in a cape and fights a guy named "Chess" that has contacts that make his eyes look like chess pieces. So, you cant take it too serious. The show pokes fun of itself a good bit too, which I personally like. Overall, I think that for a 10 episode series (seriously, they pulled the plug QUICK) it is worth a Saturday Marathon on Netflix.

PS. David Lyons, the man that plays The Cape, is the ugliest human ever born. Sorry. But he is.
