    We really enjoy the special effects. It is an action packed show that can be viewed by the whole family. The story line is also very good I hope it will stay on the air we are sick of reality shows.

    Not a bad little show, but it feels thin. The powerhouse supporting cast is the best thing about the show. Jackie Earl Haley is perfect in his role. Seems like The Watchmen opened up a bunch of "scary guy" parts for the tiny dude.

    Very good show but could use a little action a la '24'. Valley plays the "Bond on steroids" role well without being arrogant about it. I was happy to see Chi McBride back on telelvision and hope they give him more onscreen time in the future. Jackie Earle Haley's character Guerrero hooked me immediately so definitely give him more air time as well. Notable debut for Human Target, looking forward to seeing the series reach its full potential in the coming months.… Expand

    It was okay. The plot was pretty boring and predictable but it looks like there might be some potential. Like the three main characters.

    Anything based on a comic book is going to be a little out there, but this is wildly implausible. Gotta stop a train in 20 miles but you can't use the emergency brakes because they might blow up (blow up ?!?)? How about decelerating? I'm neutral on this one. It's just a "shoe horn in as much action as you can" show, which makes the action kinda mechanical, which means little suspense. Whether it sticks as a guilty pleasure is hard to say, but there's so many good actions show that actually are well written, why wouldn't I watch one of those? Like the show that followed it: 24.… Expand

    Gotta say the users had it breaken down better than the critics, so nothing to add.

    The action is fairly innovative (dig that air shaft fight), but the details of the episode's and the season's plot don't stand up to much scrutiny. Worth watching to see if the writing catches up to Valley and the action's charm.

    Not awe inspiring, but charming. I find it sort of amusing how people equate some of the set pieces with the comic, when the comic (at least in its most recent version) wasn't much for goofy over the top action.

    As a matter of fact,those two actors as supporting role impress me more.I think this show is better than Burn Notice,especially the women roles are much prettier.HAHA~

    Extremely well written show, very well acted, great chemistry. One of the best shows on TV. All of the main actors are superb. Please keep renewing this show.

    TV needs more shows that provide some escapist entertainment. This is a great example, and it's well done. A few laughs and some action, and the occasional multi-episode arc. If you're not checking out Human Target, you're missing out.

    Right now it's an action-packed drama that entertains with ease. That's plenty good enough.

    There's too much hinting around about Chance's troubled past--reflecting the solemn pretensions of the comic book-- and the writing, in terms of both humor and plotting, isn't at the level of the show's role models.

    The tweaks this new Fox hour brings to the template are a higher degree of special-effects-fueled action, a faster pace and a consistently amusing tongue-in-cheek tone.
