    The Human Target

    Anyone watched it yet? Worth catching? I've heard the guy who plays Rorschach/new Freddy Krueger is quite good.

    I really dig Peter Milligan's Vertigo series.

    Yeah I've seen the 1st 2 episodes and liked it...it's pretty basic, bodyguard for hire...he never actually becomes the person he's protecting like in the comic series though.

      It's not like the comic, but it's a decent TV action show. There have been a lot worse.

        I read somewhere that the reason he doesn't "become" the actual person is that they need to have a star for the series. Otherwise we would see Chance at the beginning & end of the show only, and a constant parade of "face of the week" people.

        I like what I've seen so far...and the Guerrero character is interesting. Nasty fellow it seems.

            I love the show so far! It reminds me of eighties action shows like Magnum PI, Simon and Simon, and the like. Great fun, plus it isnt one of those linked soap opera like shows where you have to watch ALL the episodes IN ORDER to know whats going on. I despise that malarky!

              Nope but Rick Springfield did that in the series in the early 90s though:

                  It's pretty good, a little generic. Mark Valley was great in Keen Eddie with Sienna Miller.

                      That is too bad. A significant part of the Milligan Vertigo series was the issues surrounding self and identity that the ultimate method actor is faced with. It provided lots of great twists and turns as well.
