A Life More Ordinary

I don't know how much hope I really had for the new family/superhero dramedy NO ORDINARY FAMILY... but it had Vic Mackey in it. Vic Mackey is a fucking hardcore, balls-to-the-wall, ballistic badass.

And yet, for some reason, whenever Michael Chiklis plays a character with actual super-powers, the effect is a castrated man.

In NO ORDINARY FAMILY, Vic Mackey plays a castrated husband who acquires super-powers... comparable to a Gummi Bear.


It's almost painful to watch Vic Mackey suffer such indignities.

The show plays like a warmed-over HEROES spin-off. Another show with a really sound concept with (generally) lousy execution. It's a down low dirty shame.
