Show Summary

In fictional Palm City former cop Vince Faraday is framed for murder. Believed to be dead, he takes on the persona of his son's favorite comic book superhero 'The Cape' to clear his name and reunite with his family. Together with a group of former carnies, he fights against the corrupt police, politicians, and ARK Corporation. Unlike the comics, costumed heroes and villains, such as Chess and Scales, do not have superpowers. Fearless investigative blogger Orwell joins in the fight not just with words, as she tends to get violent. The Cape comes from Universal Media Studios and the producing team of Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun.moreless

    If your not going to bring the show back at least make a movie to complete the story because to leave the ending the way it was is just plain wrong!!!

    This was an awesome show. If NBC had advertised it better and allowed the fan base to grow a little, there would hve been awesome ratings. Th plot was good, an the characters different and new. They really ought to bring tis show back.

    I have not yet seen the last episodes in this series, although I will endeavour to tough it out to the end in fairness to the cast and crew.

    Good action shows in this genre have to have a tight control over the characters and plot; unfortunately this does not seem to have been the case here. We are never really sure if the hero has ever learned anything from his brushes with disaster; as he seems to spring straight into the next one, presumably expecting Orwell or the Family to bail him out yet again.

    I am really disappointed as I wanted this show to succeed; but I am not surprised that the Network appear to be pulling the plug. We can only hope that it makes other producers/directors take more care in the future.moreless
