When NBC announced its new mid-season lineup this week, a lot of attention was focused on the new Thursday night comedy block that would send 30 Rock to 10 p.m.

However, the network will also premiere a couple new shows in January, one of which is The Cape.

Starring David Lyons in the main role, this high concept drama centers around a cop that is framed for murder and must abandon his family. But he finds a way to reconnect with them and fight crime simultaneously: by taking on the persona of a superhero known as The Cape.

Watch the first official preview now and decide: Worth a shot?
