Episode 3 was okay, it looks like they are working on some story arc about Orwell,

I thought the 3rd episode was a lot better than the first two. The first 2 seemed rushed, I think because it's a story that we've all heard before so they didn't want to drag it out, but it should have been paced better. The 3rd had far better pacing, at least I thought so.

One thing that has bugged me with all 3 episodes is the overly emotion scenes. It's feels so forced and artificial, like they're jamming a hostess cake down my throat. The cheap music that accompanies these scenes just make it worse.

I'd give it a 5/10 so far. The characters are not very intersting. Especially the girl from Firefly. They have done a piss poor job on getting us to really care for anyone on the show. It's just too bland for me. I'llwatch a few more, but if it doesn't get better, that's it.

The third episode was the best yet, but the show does have a problem. The actor they cast as the Cape has very little charisma in the role, which is a major problem as he is the main star. Every other actor on the show has more personality and acting talent. The guy playing Kozmo the villain had more charisma as the guest star than the main lead.

I think the setup does have some potential, though the pacing seems awfully rushed. They have already gone through at least a half season of plot turns so far.

Exactly my thoughts, the third episode was definitely the best so far, but I too still think Lyons was horribly miscast. But with the ratings doing exactly as I expected for months now, I still believe this show won't be around long enough to make a difference.

The Cape fell 31% vs. its double episode Sunday premiere to just a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating.

This is on NBC though... It might be good enough.

Haha yeah the fact that mediocrity in numbers rules the Peacock is the reason we still have Chuck, Parenthood and P-Rex, I can be thankful for that at least.
