Second Chance

When I read the plot line I wasn't overly enthralled, just figured I'd give it a go. So glad I did.

There are some really interesting characters here, most of whom are deliciously flawed, with interesting relationships and interactions between them.

Visually pleasing, an interesting extension of technology and software that we already take for granted (and the slightly darker big brother aspect to it with the developers using it for their own ends without conscience) is a believable near future that makes the more esoteric sci-fi storyline feel more natural.

The plot for the first episode was a bit 'seen it before', but I think a necessary lack of invention in order to establish the story and give us an immediate understanding of the prime characters. I expect the plots will thicken up nicely.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this develops; early days but has serious potential, for me, the best show so far this year and I'm eager to see more.

Well...what a surprise to say the least. I watched the first episode of Second Chance and I didn't think much of it to be honest. The second was better and every one after that even better. Now we are at episode 7 and I am hooked. Most of my friends are hooked too! I think that the story was good but the cast is excellent. Father Pritchard and his son are so funny to watch now, they have such a good connection...at the beginning rough and now they are friends..but the father and son connection come out in such funny and sweet way. The scientists Looking glass brother and sister are also very good and today's episode last twist was GREAT! I wish tomorrow was Friday again.... I looked on line and saw the posts about FOX considering to cancel this show and I hope that this is not true. PLEASE let us see a second season...give them a second chance!!!We love the show and we want to keep watching it! 9/10 for me!

I'm always looking for a new show to enjoy in any genre, so when I read the plot I was intrigued. It may not have a huge budget or a cast full of house hold names, Second Chance is quickly becoming something I look forward to each week.

I always give a show at least 3 episodes before I can make a judgment on it fully, and after the third, I hope this show can continue on for a good span of time. It may not be the most profound show out there, but it certainly has good characters and interesting ideas going on which could lead to tons of possibilities.

Definitely give it a shot if you liked the plot summary. It's in between a crime detective type of story and a superhero novel, among many other things, and I mean come on, who wouldn't want a second chance at life?

My wife of 50 yrs and I really enjoyed the 1st installment of this series. There have been many stories on TV where someone went back in time to their youth, but not many where a person was "reborn" with their memories, time, and events unchanged. For a senior to have to come to grips with the fact that today he inhabits a 30 year old body with all attending looks and strength is an intriguing thought. All of us seniors have imagined going back in time and doing some things over, but not just getting considerably younger and going forward with a new life. I found myself thinking, wow! what would I do, how would I handle family and finances now that I have an extra 60 or 70 years to live. How are people going to react to the behavior of a young man, mature beyond his years?? We have all seen many men in their 30's act like teenagers, but not very many that behave with the patience, empathy, and deliberation of 70+ years. Can't wait to see how the story lines progress.

Only the pilot is out, so all the people whining about character development, plot development, and so on, give me a break! Watch 5- 10 episodes of a new show before judging.

Sure, it's been done before (Like "Intelligence", which I also enjoyed. Even "The 6 Million Dollar Man!"), but it's a fresh twist. I wish they had done a 2-episode pilot, to develop the story-line and characters a bit more, but it was fast-paced and there was enough to get my interest piqued...

We will have to see, but I am enjoying it so far. I am entertained, and that's what this is all about folks. "Formulatic"? Of course! Most TV is ...and if we've seen some elements before, it's because, hello!, it works! ...Plus it's what, folks like myself, want to see.

Robert Kazinsky is good in the main role - I can "see" his former self "coming thru" his new, younger self. I am also really glad to see Tim DeKay, as he's a great character actor - I was wondering where he'd end up, after "White Collar", another favorite show of mine - back as an FBI agent "again", there's a stretch, but he does it so well! ...This is full of excellent actors.

I love shows like this, because there's so much room for development, directions they can take it, a lot of potential there. It appears Fox ordered 13 episodes ...I can't wait to see where it goes!
