THE CAPE

To cash in on the superhero genre, you have to have a good superhero.  Sadly, this is not the case here in THE CAPE.

David Lyons is woefully miscast in the lead role.  You need a dramatic lead.  One that's carrying the weight of the world upon his shoulders.  One that has seen his entire world shattered.  One that has to struggle with a daily existence knowing if he were to let his family know he's alive it would put them in mortal danger.  Lyons doesn't have the ability to bring this across and that's where the series fails.

Also, the cape itself is laughable.  Did they really expect us to believe that a cape can throw a 180lb-man across a room?  The creators here have mistaken illusion with reality. 

I understand why the series was cancelled.  I don't understand how it ever got past the pilot stage.
