HUMAN TARGET on Fox – First Look
January 17, 2010 by Kath Skerry
HUMAN TARGET premieres, tonight – Sunday, January 17th at 8pm on Fox. Here’s what you need to know.
About HUMAN TARGET…
It takes a brave, selfless man to make himself a “human target” in order to save the lives of those in danger. Based on the popular DC Comics graphic novel, HUMAN TARGET is a full-throttle action drama centered on CHRISTOPHER CHANCE (Mark Valley, FRINGE), a unique private contractor/security guard hired to protect those in need…who can pay. Call him what you like, because for Chance, it’s about one thing only: saving his clients’ lives. When there is an unusual or imminent threat that can’t be solved through “normal” means of protection, Chance is hired to completely integrate himself into his clients’ lives – to become the human target. If you’re a corporate manager whose disgruntled employee has gone violently off the deep end, Chance is your new auditor. If you’re the president of a bank who’s been tipped off to a potential heist, Chance is your unassuming bank teller. During each job, Chance, assisted by his business partner WINSTON (Chi McBride, “Pushing Daisies”) and hired gun GUERRERO (Jackie Earle Haley, “Watchmen”), puts himself directly in the line of fire as he races against time to save his client, while unraveling the truth behind the mission. With every new danger, Chance’s dark history will also unravel. Does anyone know who Christopher Chance really is, or what secrets lay buried in his past? What would make a man willingly become a HUMAN TARGET?

This one sounds interesting! And throwing Chi McBride in there grabs my interest even more! Does this mean Mark Valley is pretty much finished on Fringe? Though with his wife around, maybe he’ll still make a dream appearance or two…
This is nothing new or original. Rick Springfield starred as the Human Target in a 1992 tv series. This one will fail too.
Wow, this really sucks. I watched the trailer and he doesn’t even use a disguise! In the Rick Springfield series, he always took on the face and identity of the client.
Thanks for doing the First Look. I loved Mark Valley when he was on Keen Eddie, so I was sure to set the DVR to give this a chance.
Show is like a Lame version of Magiver.
My husband and I both like this show. We also like the support cast. They are an interesting mix. Give this show a chance…..for Pete’s sake, there are so many much worse shows, going on for years. Mark Valley is good in this role.
Give this show a chance. The cast is very interesting and has great chemistry. The action sequences are great. I’m looking forward to the unfolding of his reasons for searching for his “redemption.”
I think the show is great. I know it’s not perfect, but it’s sort of unique (in its own way) and very entertaining to say the least. I was looking forward to the 3rd episode, but unfortunately missed it. Hopefully fox will be showing it on their website.
Another thing is that the show already has it’s own comic book!

Or did the show come from the comic? Either way the comic book and the show seem to have a good entertainment factor.
[…] Human Target, the unusual Fox suspense show, debuted last night and it was a great ride. Is Human Target good enough to be the next 24 for the Fox network? Maybe, just maybe. Mark Valley plays Christopher Chance, a freelance human shield with a serious attitude of no fear. He’s a lot like Jack Bauer without the very tight timeline and much better dressed. Human Target may very well be the next 24. […]
