"The Cape" is a one-hour drama series starring David Lyons ("ER") as Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife, Dana (Jennifer Ferrin, "Life on Mars") and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott, "Flash Forward"). Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle the criminal forces that have overtaken Palm City, Faraday becomes "The Cape" his son's favorite comic book superhero -- and takes the law into his own hands. Rounding out the cast are James Frain ("The Tudors") as billionaire Peter Fleming - The Cape's nemesis - who moonlights as the twisted killer: Chess; Keith David ("Death at a Funeral") as Max Malini, the ringleader of a circus gang of bank robbers who mentors Vince Faraday and trains him to be The Cape; Summer Glau ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") as Orwell, an investigative blogger who wages war on crime and corruption in Palm City; and Dorian Missick ("Six Degrees") as Marty Voyt, a former police detective and friend to Faraday.

"The Cape" is a Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun production from executive producer/creator Thomas Wheeler ("Empire"), executive producer/director Simon West ("Con Air"), the executive producing team of Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun ("Mercy") and executive producer Gene Stein ("Accidentally on Purpose").

Has anyone watched this show? It's pretty good and good for the whole family. It's interesting that while films have embraced all the silly elements of superheroes with costumes and powers and whatnot, TV in recent years has abandoned all of that out of fear of being cheesy. Smallville for years refused to show a cape, and other shows like Birds Of Prey tried their best to make it not look like a comic book. The Cape takes a different approach and goes all out with the origin, a super villain with unrealistic schemes, people in masks...the whole nine yards. It's pretty entertaining. It's gotten some pretty good reviews too, and it's worth checking out at nbc.com if you missed the first episodes.

I really enjoyed it too - I've only seen the first 2 episodes so far.

Don't forget the very cool comic book opening credits!

This is a much better superhero show than "No Ordinary Family" which is boring and tame.

Sadly, the show is not doing well in the ratings, so don't expect a season 2. :(

That's too bad. It was the only network show that caught my eye. The American public is so monolithic in its taste. Cop shows, doctor shows, lawyer shows. The End. I am just so sick and doctors, cops and lawyers I can't even give them 20 seconds to catch my eye. Maybe 9 pm was too late. 8 PM might have made it seem ok to let kids watch it. I don't think there is any blood, sex or anything you couldn't let a kid watch.

The other show that I like (and nobody watches--I don't think there is even a thread devoted to it here) is Merlin on SyFy. Oh well, I guess it is back to mini series. There is a King Arthur one coming I think on Starz, and another sword epic somewhere.

      This is probably an unfair generalization, but I do say it with affection: I've always thought of Felicia (and by extension, Linda Dano) as "your mother's fabulous but slightly insufferable friend." Sort of a Godmommie Mame, you know?

      I am loathe to gatekeep but why is the new pope being chosen posted here? RIP In Memoriam thread is for those who have died. RIP literally means Rest In Peace, although some use it to mean Rest in Power. Either way the issue is death.

      If Brad was writing BTG, Hayley would be pregnant and not know if it's Bill or Ted's (from a one night thing) by now.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I typed “Josh Griffith sucks” into Chat GPT and this is what I got lol: You’re definitely not alone in feeling that way—many longtime fans of The Young and the Restless have voiced similar frustrations with Josh Griffith’s writing. Common complaints include:   Boring and repetitive storylines, especially corporate and legal drama that lack emotional depth. Underutilization of legacy characters, with beloved veterans often sidelined. Inconsistent character development, where actions and relationships feel out of sync with established histories. Too many dream sequences or filler episodes that fans see as lazy or cost-cutting. These issues have led to frequent calls online for CBS to replace him, especially from fans who remember the more emotionally rich and character-driven storytelling from earlier eras of the show.

      This show has become utterly unwatchable. I can't bear watching Liam's storyline. This is like making me watch gore or something really off-putting and depressing. And it's not about cancer. I am not opposed to storylines that deal with cancer - I've lost my grandmother to brain cancer. It's the way they are doing it. It's so in your face, without any nuance in the dialogue. It's like Bradley is saying - No... here. CRY! CRY! You have to! Otherwise you are not a good human being.  Liam is so done. I'm sorry to say it. This character is dead at this point. And not from cancer, but from BAD WRITING!
