Human Target – Episode 2-5 Review

Reviews, Shows

While the first season was overly predictable to a T, at least it was epic at times. The retooled Human Target, although more less predictable, lacks character. If asked by someone about the show, I really wouldn’t know how to describe it. There’s action, bland banter, and not much else.

“Dead Head” plays out like a Leverage episode with less energy, less charm, and lack of anything that stands out. The team figures out why an amnesiac was blown up, resolving one of Winston’s long-standing problems, a group of corrupt cops, at the same time. We get to meet Winston’s ex-wife, but it’s more of formality. Yeah, cool fight scenes and a bit of clever trickey–par for the course.

Ames really isn’t as funny as the writers think she is, but she’s unobtrusive, so at least she’s got that over Ilsa. Five episodes into the new season and the changes seem to superfluous, exchanging one boring idea for another.

Score: 8.2/10
