I never watched this. Did the show provide any type of wrap-up or did it just end suddenly by cancellation?

Final show is available online. No conclusive wrap-up.

What did people here think abut the series? I never watched.

I gave up after the first few. Although I still liked it better than No Ordinary Family.

My wife and I really, really liked it, though it was flawed. Very likebale characters and Summer Glau is soooo hot. I love Keith David and he was great and Vinnie Jones was hammy good fun.
The show's writing was the problem-was it trying to be campy? Serious and dark? Who knows? And it focused way too much on the Cape's family-enough already.
But I would recommend it for some good fun and like Lefty said-no conclusive wrapup the last episode-it is online and On Demand for free via Comcast.

Seems too pricy for just ten episodes.
I may pick it up later if they discount it enough.

I agree that the show veered between noir serious and goofy 1960s Batman campy. It had real trouble with tone.
