I was wondering is anybody else looking forward to watching Human Target on FOX later this month, just to see how good it is? |

Anyone else watch this?
I watched because it's full of people I like. Mark Valley from Keen Eddie (which is one of the best TV shows EVER), Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica and of course the amazingly talented Jackie Earl Haley.
For the uninitiated, the show is based on a DC comic series of the same title. Mark Valley plays Christopher Chance, a body guard/security expert who protects his clients by integrating himself into their lives to to draw out his clients attackers.
It also stars Chi McBride as Chance's business partner Winston, and Jackie Earl Haley as Guerrero, a less than law-abiding specialist in corporate espionage and black-mailing who works as a hired gun for Chance.
The episode guest stared the Tricia Helfer, who plays an enigneer who hires Chance after an attempt is made on her life.
The show is very over-the-top, and actually really fun. In a world where every show is trying to either be the new Lost or the new ER, it's refreshing to have a show that's comfortable just having fun characters and a ton of explosions.
By the way, I didn't realize it was based on a comic book until I saw the DC logo in the end credits lol

I saw it last night and thought about posting thoughts on this thread... Anyways, great show. i was very impressed. I love how they got the guy that played Rorshach to be in it. All the actors nailed it. The show didn't even seem like DC... But then I saw the DC logo at the end and it reminded me... I heard about Human Target about five months back on a DC Wiki page...

So we agree that Human Target is a hit...now let's hope FOX doesn't do anything to screw it up |
