Human Target

After seeing terrific shows such as Life and The Unit cancelled, it's nice to find something to fill the void. Human Target does this effectively, creating a show that doesn't take itself too seriously - it's like watching a comic come to life.

Over-the-top fights, grin-inducing action sequences and the banter between Mark Valley et al (including some fantastic guest stars) will keep you smiling through the episodes' "villain of the week" plots. Hopefully the writers will make more of the arcs in the future, which would add a little depth to a show that's already hugely entertaining - which, if you're anything like me, is just what you need after coming home from work. Recommended.

I watched every episode and was very disappointed when this was cancelled. All these characters were very interesting and the cast was perfect. I wish they could have had a last season to tie up all the storylines.

Human Target is a creative action adventure with quick wit and intelligence. Whether you're into the hard-hitting, fast pace of a big screen action flick, the complex intrigue of a spy novel, or the kind of wry humor that makes you feel like you're sharing an inside joke, this show is for you.

Each episode is an action-packed adventure capable of standing on it's own, out of sequence and separate from the others. Yet, there are deeper layers to be explored, with hints of sub-plots intertwining though each installment, piquing your curiosity and leaving you wanting more.

Human Target is one of the best new shows in years. It even raises the bar with a great opening sequence created in a more cinematic style, invoking images of Bond, Bourne, and others like them.

Spread the word. Don't let this one get away.

Below is a rant that I have been bottling in for some time. Should you read further, I will not blame you should you disagree. I just needed to get a few things off my chest.

Why is it that FOX will do everything in its power to back reality based shows and continue to stifle promising shows such as Human Target. Yes this show had flaws, but the acting was decent and the story line was intriguing. I may be naive, yet I still believe that we as viewers deserve well written shows without the distaste of inflated human drama that has been reality TV. I think that we can grow from the train wreck syndrome of not being able to pull away from people making complete jerks of themselves for pay and start to realize that there is still novel ideas out there and intelligent writers. Reality TV has its place in game shows and the odd hidden camera series that draws upon the young and the old viewers. The time slots of 7pm to 10pm should still be reserved for reserved for shows that entertain. Instead I have to resign to watching DVR of shows on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to avoid this seemingly endless onslaught of contrived melodramatic human tragedy known as Reality TV.

Hot women, chivalry, actors who know how to fight and actors who know how to act. This outstanding, well choreographed, action packed, captivating, drama/romaction TV series is well produced and of course even more well thought out. The writers in this TV series took the time to create a story that keeps the audience engaged throughout each episode; you will never be bored on any given episode, this is a promise. It takes a the action from Burn Notice, John Wick, The Bourne Series, and blends them with the drama from Suits. You might ask how the hell they did it but they did it! Unfortunately the series has ended (not clear on the reason why but all they said was low viewership).

I applaud Mark Valley, Jackie E. Haley, Chi McBride, Indira Varma and Janet Montgomery for putting forth the amazing efforts they did to produce such astounding characters with enriched history and the way how each character is displayed it seems as though they all just clicked and harmonized in acting very well. This cast of actors was done right. Hoping they bring this amazing TV series back with, hopefully, the same amazing actors and actresses.

Granted yes this is a comic based TV series to which loosely follows the comic book series. However I believe the story line portrayed compensates and speaks for itself. It's a series you do not want to miss out on. I promise you you will not be disappointed. Sub-par with Game of Thrones, on par with John Wick.
