Editorial Reviews

This is the thinking of Christopher Chance, a mysterious security agent for hire who assumes different identities, at times literally becoming a human target on behalf of his clients. Using the popular DC Comics title as a springboard for riveting and intelligent action and adventure, Human Target provides a thrill ride with no clear boundaries. Resourceful, driven and compelled by a force known only to him, this take-charge antihero will barter his services for an aged bottle of scotch, much to the chagrin of his shadowy associates. If someone is threatened or a life is in danger...leave it to Chance.

Chi McBride is great as usal, Jackie Earle Haley EXCELLENT a couple of the middle epsidoes are not as strong as the opening but the season finale, knocks it out of the park and has a great list of "guest stars" inclinding Amy Acker, Armand Asanti, Lennie James and Lee Majors !! I hope Fox gives this one another sseason

This review is from: Human Target: The Complete First Season (DVD)

Fox took a chance on a live action series based on a comic book. It worked beautifully.

The twelve episodes are well crafted and brilliantly acted. The plots are outrageous, but it is different from anything on currently.

Christopher Chance is played by Mark Valley (Boston Legal). Winston, the head of this secret operative group, is brought to life, sizzling life, by Chi McBride (Boston Public). The odd man out, Guerrero, is given such a mysterious allure by Jackie Earle Haley (various film and television roles).

These three form a triad which keeps you guessing week from week about their motivations, their past and their apparent commitment to each other. Guerrero seems to be full of surprises.

Beautiful and talented Emmaunelle Vaugier, the fearless FBI Special Agent Emma Barnes, is a perfect match for Mark Valley's Christopher Chance. Let's hope we see more of her in the second season.

From the pilot with a super train to the season finale of twists and turns and flashbacks, you have an excellent series which does not take itself seriously. A number of comparisons have been made to Jack Bauer, but Christopher Chance is not a serious commentary on contemporary society. It is just fun with great stories, plenty of action, daring skills, and a full slate of guest stars.

Fox has it on Friday nights this Fall. As everyone knows, Friday nights are a terrible time slot. Let's hope Fox gives it a full 22 episode run.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like James Bond, you should like Human Target, April 14, 2010

Human Target is a fantastic show-- part James Bond part 60's style adventure. With tongue most often in cheek, this series goes around the globe with Christoper Chance doing his James Bond style protection of the innocent and the endangered. Shot in HD, the show is visually stunning- can't wait for the Blu-Ray discs.
