One of the best new fall series and--double bonus points--it stars the great Hugh Laurie and Ethan Suplee, who ruthlessly hijacks his scenes.
A series like Chance seems natural for binge watching, and that makes Hulu's strategy of releasing episodes week by week, just like on television, seem frustrating. Fans of psychological thrillers, though, are likely to find Chance worth the wait.

I have never seen anything quite like it. Chance has a few unique characters that make it special. I highly recommend watching a few episodes to see if you enjoy it once it hits it's stride.

SEASON 1
Laurie is excellent and quickly establishes Dr. Eldon Chance as a distinctly separate character from Dr. Gregory House. He is also damaged, but in his own somewhat mysterious way. Chaos proves compelling, at least for viewers.
So far it’s involving to a degree but never enthralling to the max.
Though the series remains entertaining, attractively moody, and sensationally well-acted, there’s a lack of urgency and personal import that can be felt throughout that keeps this inarguably good show from being a great one.
It can’t decide whether it wants to be a drama rooted in psychologically legitimate authenticity or a fully heightened paperback mystery in streaming form whose departures from reality can be more easily forgiven.
Unfortunately, the burned-out doctor is so naive and so laughably gullible that just about every choice feels pre-determined and every consequence can be seen coming a mile away. Add several scenes of clunky, overwritten dialogue and an underwritten female lead to an almost complete lack of suspense, and the end result is a cliche-ridden drama that is a painful chore to sit through.
Vastly underrated. Wonderful psychological thriller with a fresh approach to a dark narrative. Each episode continually builds upon the last, creating an additive need to find out what happens next! Superb acting from Hugh Laurie & Ethan Suple, as well as from the rest of the cast. The cinematography provides a accurate mood/tone needed for this psychological thriller, as well as subtlety playing homage to the noir genre. Brilliant score and musical accompaniment, one of my favorite is recent memory. Editorial decisions is also something worth noting, with direct cuts of facial expressions and voice over used appropriately to convoy deeper thinking. I enjoy wanting to figure out the next "move" and always exploring the details constantly layout to build the bigger "climatic" picture. Certainly not a cookie cutter show. The writing gives notable quotes almost every episode. Definitely a show worth viewing for those who enjoy attention to detail and psychological thrillers. Cool original content from Hulu.

SEASON 1
Dark and gripping. A personable but lonely neuropsychologist (Hugh Laurie) falls into a rabbit hole of hard decisions.about how he will cope with unexpected, mounting dark problems that invade his personal and professional life, Well acted. Good scripting. Unpredictable and suspenseful plot.

SEASON 1
Hugh Laurie seems to be in the House mood again. And it simply doesn't click. The narrative is messy sometimes and the characters aren't very likable too. It isn't a bad show but it isn't quite interesting either.

SEASON 1
a 50 year old psychologist with the naivity and wisdom of a young princess probably hits it good..
the build is pretty slow....a movie would´ve been a better choice instead of a series...i watched episode 2 to 5 in an **** to the lack of happenings i just skipped through...

SEASON 1
Lazy, drawn out and cliched psychological drama. This is a rehashed version of 1992 Final analysis with a lead character that is not as sexy as Richar Gere (no offense Mr. Laurie). Critics are right. Only worth watching if your other favourite TV show is not on the air.
