What sounded like a fun superhero series with our own David Lyons has turned out to be a fizzer in the US.

The Cape got disappointing reviews and even more disappointing numbers.

The episode order dropped from 13 to 10 with the “final” episode put online by NBC. What is it with NBC and superheroes….?

And should we read much into the fact that 7mate is airing this one as a double premiere -on April 1st?

“Pilot / Tarot”
When a cop is unjustly framed for crimes, he is forced to team up with carnival misfits and take on a new identity, fight crime and win his family back.

It airs 8:30pm Friday April 1 on 7mate.

  1. I sat through three episodes of this dreck… believe me, I’d support anything over repetative cop shows and unfunny comedies, but its hard to do it with this… it really is that bad!

  4. @AA – If they want to burn it off quick they I’d say they will just show double eps over 5 weeks. So the ‘world’ premier of the final might be on 7MATE.

    I think it was a good idea, I’m yet to see it (’cause I’m not in the US) but it could/should have been the next Heroes. shame it wasn’t well received by viewers or critics.

  5. It’s better than the rubbish being dished up by the commercial channels at the moment, action/comic heroes TV shows are in, the relentless boring, repetitive unentertaining US cop shows and unfunny comedies are out, IMHO of course
