Anyone watching the pilot tonight?
You can tell just from the trailer that it's highly derivative and more than a little campy. They totally stole the visual and rhetorical tone from the most recent Batman franchise and the avenging father with the wife and kid scenario seems not only melodramatic but corny. And then there is the magic, which while not necessarily as silly as shooting lazer beams from ones eyes or controlling the weather, is more than a little passe. But that is nitpicking.
I am hoping for another vampire show.
Everything I've read says it's one of the worst new shows in a while. Like....laughably bad.
OMG, the best line ever from this show:
What are you reading, The Cynics Tribune?
The Cape is awful. It just might be the worst TV series you see all year, and the year is only nine days old. It's bad enough that you can watch it, proclaim it that, then feel fairly confident in saying so, even with the other 356 days to go. And yet something about it is so watchably terrible that I can't wholly pan it. I can see why some critics I really respect kind of liked it, almost in spite of themselves. Somewhere, buried deep within itself where it's almost afraid to even admit it exists, The Cape rather knows that it's this bad, and it's having fun with the fact that it exists and made it to network television at all. We're adding it to the TV Club roster not because it's terribly promising or because it's good right out of the box or anything like that. We're adding it because making fun of this show could become a new national nerd pastime.
