This is a really fun show that I enjoy despite its unbelievable plot. I don't hold it against the show because its based on a comic book and doesn't take itself too seriously. Christopher Chance is our complicated and incredibly gifted hero, trying desperately to redeem himself for his seedy past. Along with the help of a retired police detective in Laverne Winston and a badass combination of nerd and cold-blooded killer in Chance's past associate Guerrero, Chance runs a private security firm specializing in high-risk cases. Actor Mark Valley makes an excellent choice for the role of Chance with a gnarled but still debonair sense about him and his impressive acting range.
This week's episode, the series premier, made quick work of tying up its loose ends from the season finale and moved to the more pressing issue of resetting the stage for season two. Judging from the hurried efforts to end its culminative progression from last season and turn back the plot clock, I get the distinct sense that those behind the show did not expect to be renewed for a second season. I certainly am glad that its back though. Another fun episode in line with its predecessors.
