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. 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?

i think it looks pretty good in those clips but im not sure how long it would last

Its on Fox need I say more I am more interested in the fact that Showtime will be having 100 Bullets who is with me

IDK it's seems like one of the kind of shows that will be pretty good suck you in and go and get it's self Canned! i am so sick of that happening 

BADASS I CANT WAIT!!

Never heard of the novel, is it good?

Jackie Earl Haley is THE BOMB!!!

I love Human Target so yes NH its badass.

as is 100 bullets

I'd be more inclined to either set my DVR or wait for the box-set, sorry. I'm not going to invest myself in a show anymore. I liked Reaper. I liked Lost, and Chuck, and Heroes and Smallville. The only show I've stuck with, believe it or not is NCIS. Because it's not trying to live up to a format or a profile or a history.
 
There, I've vented. I feel so much better.

I remember The Human Target from the pre-Vertigo days. The Giordano days of the '70's. This could be a real cool anthology, like a modern day Quantum Leap. If I were to invest in one show and one show only next season it probably would be this one. Until it jumped the shark...

Sounds interesting I'll probably check it out

We'll see how it goes

Definitely.  It has an awesome cast (Mark Valley from "Fringe", Jackie Earle Haley from "Watchmen" and Chi McBride from "Pushing Daisies") all of whom I am big fans of.  It's based on a comic book (sadly which I've never read).  Only problem is it's produced by FOX, who favour stand alone episodes.

CANT WAIT TO SEE IT!

Some of you may think this is a bad idea, but I think that Mark Valley wouldnt make a bad Captain America.

(Something to think about)

I'll pass

I might check this out. Anybody watch the 1992 series with Rick Springfield as Christopher Chance?
