Human Target is a new show on Fox. I’ve waited a few weeks because I wanted to make sure my first favorable outlook of its debut wasn’t colored by the fact Jackie Earle Haley was in it. Haley played ‘Rorschach’ in the movie ‘The Watchmen’. His prison scene in ‘Watchmen’ uplifted the whole movie to cult status in my opinion. He owned the ‘Rorschach’ character.
Haley has done the same thing for his character Guerrero in Human Target. Every week so far his small contribution to the program has taken the show to a new level. I can't think of anyone who can bring 'coldly dangerous to life like Jackie Earle Haley does. Guerrero makes the show. Without him I wouldn't tune in for five minutes because Human Target is a common farfetched category adventure. Haley's interaction with co-stars Mark Valley and Chi McBride make Human Target a can't miss program for me. The writers have wisely played to Haley's skill, inserting his calmly intensive mayhem at exactly the right times.

I agree completely. Without Jackie, the show wouldn't hold water.
Jordan, when Guerrero zapped the guy who interrupted his information gathering in the last episode, it was so coldly effective, it combined humor and psycho perfectly. :)
I do love a cold assassin. Must see if I can get the show.
It's worth a look, Bernita.
Then I may have to check it out.
The commercials for it looked sort of interesting, but not enough to make me watch it.
Now I may (and agree about Rorschach in "Watchmen").
Jackie's been the key in every episode so far, Raine. I don't know what the show would be like without him. :)
Coldly dangerous... I like this, Bernard!
I'll see if I can find the show.
It's worth a look, Vesper, if for no other reason than to watch Guerrero work. :)
