Welcome back 'Human Target'

One of the most underrated shows on TV, "Human Target" returned to FOX's schedule last night.

The show follows bodyguard Christopher Chance (Mark Valley) as he protects desperate clients with the help of his partners Winston (Chi McBride) and Guerrero (Jackie Earle Haley).

The second season began with Chance and Guerrero rescuing a kidnapped Winston, then the team was brought back together to protect billionaire widow Ilsa Pucci (Indira Varma).

This is a fun old school action show, that has a cast with great chemistry and exciting stories. Some of the best scenes involve Guerrero coming up with interesting ways of interrogating people or Winston's constant exasperation at Chance's seeming spontaneity.

For season two, Varma has joined the team as its new benefactor and Janet Montgomery is Ames, a young thief who will occasionally help out. These additions are meant to help out with female viewers, however, Valley pretty much has that under control.


The season premiere garnered 6.5 million viewers, putting it behind "Survivor," "Dateline" and ABC's comedy block. FOX should promote this show more and give it a better timeslot. It's fun show that can find som success with a little push.
