Christopher Chance is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill security guard. He's the man hired when all else fails and normal means of protection are simply not enough. His mission is to protect his clients at all costs -- and to do so, he becomes, in effect, a human target until the threat has been eliminated. With the help of his business partner, Winston, and hired gun Guerrero, Chance races against time to save his client and unravel the truth behind each job they take on. And with each mission a little more of Chance's own dark history is revealed.

Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com Every element of "Human Target", from its mission-of-the-week format to its incredibly-cheesy opening credits, will remind viewers of the right age of the kind of mindless escapism that was far-more-common in the '70s and '80s. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Leonard Pierce AV Club Human Target was a step above the ordinary action hour; it was engaging enough on its own terms, it had enough character seeds that there's something for future episodes to harvest . Rated: B Jul 13, 2018 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times The biggest thing "Human Target" has going for it is that its cast makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky Valley's Christopher Chance is hard to resist as a devil-may-care hero-for-hire who charms and disarms before moving on to another mission: improbable. Easy come, easy go, easily watched. Rated: B Aug 5, 2020 Full Review Jennifer Walker TV Fanatic It took us the entire first season to make connections with the characters, but alas true connections were made. This finale left us surprised and looking forward to the next season. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2020 Full Review Americ Ngwije TV Equals Overall, this was an interesting [season finale] mostly because of the flashback scenes and the guest stars. Plus it ends with a bit of a cliffhanger. Aug 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member great tv show totally would recommend Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review steve d The great cast makes this show a blast, when it fails to take itself seriously it is an absolute treat. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A truly underrated show that had one of the most clever premises, memorable set of characters, and some of the funniest dialogue I've heard in a television show. Even if it was really far fetched. But I believe that was the idea. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
