This show was the textbook definition of a wasted premise. It took everything bad about capeshit (muh secret identity melodrama, conceptually interesting characters with disappointingly flat characterizations, heavy-handed moralfagging pushing the suspension of disbelief, etc.) and combined them with a bunch of much cooler (though equally derivative) horror tropes- but put no effort whatsoever into the latter to balance things out. The show didn't need any deep lore or extensive world-building to support itself, but literally just an OUNCE more of creativity, or better characterizations, dialogue, or take-your-pick, could have been enough to significantly redeemed this shit.
I honestly wish I could just fuck off and dedicate the rest of my life to creating my own paranormal capekino, with blackjack and hookers. Not even out of a drive of creative passion, but more, almost, out of spite just so this somewhat good idea wouldn't be COMPLETELY thrown in the trash.
