Human Target (2010–2011)
5/10
It's getting ridiculous
26 November 2010
In short, season 1 is entertaining. Season 2 is just getting ridiculous. A former assassin changed his side and decided to save people instead of killing them, which is OK. Season 1 actually has exemplified this idea pretty well.

Now I don't know what the producers and writers were thinking to introduce two regular female characters. Just to satisfy people's desire to see some pretty faces talking about how they feel and what is right or wrong in the middle of life and death business? Congratulations! You just kill the spirit of the show. In Chance's business you have to stay focused to stay alive and keep "the target" alive. Any mistake or hesitation will surely cause severe consequences. If you don't get lucky every time in reality then you shouldn't in a TV show! Bring some sense of reality. A show is entertaining only if it feels real. This isn't about Equal Rights. We have three male characters, so we have to throw in two females, a billionaire widow and a pretty thief? I would say they will just get Chance killed faster. Two former assassins and ex-police officer, that's the right skill set you are looking for to run the business. Maybe another former female assassin? The widow is just ridiculous. Just because she funds the operation so she has to be involved in each step? Come on, this is not sight-seeing tour. People can get killed. And the thief, I don't see her value either.

And please don't do the last minute saving cliché again. Don't let the bad guys talk too much to get themselves killed. Finally, as I said we don't get lucky every time in reality and they shouldn't either in a TV show.
