Cupid - 1998
Cupid is a American comedy-drama series which featured Paula Marshall as Dr. Claire Allen,
a Chicago psychologist who is given charge of a man named Trevor Hale (Jeremy
Piven). Hale believes he is Cupid, sent down from Mt. Olympus by Zeus to connect 100 couples without
his powers, as a punishment for his arrogance.
Plot
Trevor Hale is attractive, witty, uncommonly intelligent—and he may be Cupid, the Greco-Roman god of erotic love.
Probably not, but he thinks so. Trevor's insistence that he is Cupid lands him in a mental hospital, where he meets
psychologist Claire Allen, a renowned authority on romance. Trevor tells Claire that he has been stripped of his godly
powers by Zeus, and exiled from Mount Olympus as a punishment for arrogance. To win his way back among the gods,
Trevor must unite 100 couples in everlasting love, without his bow and arrows. Claire does not believe in Cupid, but
she risks her career by releasing Trevor from the hospital, assuming responsibility for his behavior. Trevor finds work
as a bartender, and regularly disrupts Claire's group therapy sessions. All the while, he plots his campaign to promote
romance, and earn his way back to Olympus. While encouraging sexual abandon in others, Trevor remains celibate;
he believes sex with a mortal will confine him to Earth forever.
