Review – The Cape – Pilot (S01Ep01)

You think I look silly now? You should see me in my mask too!

The best solution payday loans

Synopsis:
Good cop gets framed for being criminal master mind. Hangs out with circus folk who also rob banks with furry woodland creatures. Determined to clear his name and reassure his family he isn't a super villain with stupid contact lenses. Thankfully, he has a cape and a hot blogging side kick!

This week:
Oh noes! The man I am supposed to protect just blew up! I don't trust the police force I am a part of, so I will join a private police force.  Betrayl! Oh look! Carni folk! The Cape gets a cape. Takes on villains.

Pluses:
Just proof that all female bloggers are super hot and very rich!
Ridiculously bad. Like watching a train wreck, you can't look away.
James Frain when he isn't trying to be stupid. This character of Peter Flemming is actually incredibly interesting - him being a super villain ruins it. (oh and it isn't a spoiler - you are told this like 10 mins in)
Rollo.
The Cape getting his arse kicked.

Minuses:
Really? Those contacts?
Atrocious acting.
The most stupid stunts you will see for a long time.
What a waste of a guest star.
I sang "Too Hot for a Hoodie" to myself through the entire episode.
Ridiculous plot.

This show needs to work out if it is going to be superhero twee or a crime fighting procedural (as I read it was intended, just that it happened to have a super hero) or a scifi show (which I read some up coming episodes will be). I think the Australian channels are wisely hanging onto their cash to see how it goes before signing up for this show. Then again, No Ordinary Family was terrible, and it rates well each week.
