Human Target: Season 1

I was really bummed when this show was canceled. I was a fan of the comic that the series was based on.The only departure the series takes from the comic was that Christopher Chance was a master of disguise, taking on the appearance of his client who was being targeted for murder, kidnap, etc. And that his client or an agent for the prospective client always met Christopher in an Italian restaurant he owned. Unlike in this series, Christopher did not have a client in the comic as he did in the series, played masterfully by Chi McBride.Anyway, I really enjoyed revisiting this good series and my only regret is that for whatever reason(s), season two is not for sale. Because I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Very excellent program. Superb casting, acting and stories. As I mentioned in my review of the program, 'The Unit', if I like a show too much it seems that it doesn't last too long. Human Target lasted 2 seasons. In the second season we see the addition of two new cast members, women, who add a lot to the overall cast. That said, Season 1 (and Season 2) are excellent, with lots of action, and great character interaction. It's very well produced, with great cinematography, including scenes of San Francisco that are pretty well done. Still, the casting and the overall stories are what makes this show superb. You have to love Guerrero...Coolest bad/good guy in the history of television.

The first season of this show was absolutely fantastic. There was action, humor, and great characters played by great actors. Not sure why they felt compelled to add the new boss in the second season, but it was not nearly as good. I would still buy the second season on dvd or stream if I could find it anywhere. If you are looking for fun, action, and adventure - this is the show for you!!

Season one of Human Target is nearly a perfect intro to a great show. In this season, the lead character, Christopher Chance, takes on other identities to get the job done. Each identity demands specific skills, one even required him to be fluent in Japanese. The show also prides itself on fresh action sequences and inventive fight scenes, such as a big brawl in the upper duct of an airplane. Imagine trying to throw some hay-makers in a 3 foot crawl space. Very fun stuff. Plus, you get some sweet cameos, including the oh so cool, Lee Majors.Season 2 completely changed this fresh format to just the main character doing rescue missions with very little "assuming someone's identity" to achieve his goal, so for me, season to is a pass!The real winner for season one is the dynamic between the three main characters. Three dudes who all see things a little differently, but still have respect for one another, often to help save each other's skin. If you've never seen this show, pick up season one and treat yourself. If you're already a fan, then what are you waiting for. Season one on blu ray...with bonus features...can't go wrong. There's a great documentary on what it was like trying to make "a full on action movie" each week on a tight budget.The lead actor, Mark Valley, is terrific. This show really fits his personality. He tends to get on all these legal dramas, so I was really hoping to see this show last 5 or 6 seasons, but for some reason, the ratings just weren't there. It had a very similar vibe to USA Network's "Burn Notice" which is still going strong. Perhaps they should have moved "Human Target" to USA...where GOOD characters are welcome :-)

Fox was always way ahead of the major networks in the action genre department as the seasons of '24' can attest to. Now we have 'HUMAN TARGET', a high octaine well acted series which will also appeal to non action viewers. Mark Valley owns the series and finally, he gets to show off his under appreciated acting talents as he molds the character of Christopher Chance into a complex, honorable hero. Valley failed to click with audiences in the underrated British set series 'KEEN EDDIE' and was the memorable boyfriend lover of character Olivia Dunham in Fox's other hit 'FRINGE' and its fitting that both Valley and Anna Torv are married in real life. Chi Mcbride ,who I always thought never got a great role since his stint as the principal in the great series 'BOSTON PUBLIC' is Chance's assistant and plays it tongue in cheek as a detective who got the dirty end of the stick and now devotes his life to Chance after witnessing the tragic murder of his wife. And last but not least the excellent, lethal character of Guerraro played eccentrically by Jackie Earle Hailey and who I feel stole the film 'WATCHMEN' from everybody else , is linked to Chance in more ways than one. The series is produced, written and directed by the best action people in the business and I defy anyone who sees the 'PILOT' episode directed by Simon West not to think it could rank among the best theatrical action films. I missed quite a bit of the episodes on this first run so it was a joy to watch them uninterrupted. The new season has the introduction of two female leads in the mix and for what I have seen, the series has not lost its impetus. Sadly, there are rumors that 'HUMAN TARGET' may have a cult audience but not enough for it to return for a third season which would be a tragedy. Warner Home video includes excellent featurettes on the making of the series and includes interviews with its main actors. The episodes are presented in widescreen Dolby Digital sound for an excellent aural experience. So click the add to cart button and prepare yourself to watch a first rate escapist experience.

I loved Human Target, so much so I appeared to have ordered it twice! It's slightly disappointing that there aren't many episodes in the first series, especially as the second series does not appear to have been made available yet. I wish it had been a UK release but this was from France, even so it's not dubbed (or if it is, there is the English sound track as an option).Come on guys, though, bring out series 2 as a small mercy to those of us who wished the series would continue!

Arrived in good time as I checked the reviews and sounded promising as ot gpt the making of a good series with good cast and episodes served up with some humour and action assignments.

It was a brilliant series pity it ended as it did. so wheres season 2

Thank goodness they put this series on dvd. I hope they second series will soon be released. Another very watchable series with great characters and action. Mark Valley is so under rated and should be in more movies as he is very talented. Good transaction with the seller, no problems. Thank you.

I have been looking forward to seeing this film set is was a film that I really enjoyed and I would recommend this is a good film
