Newsflash: Chance doesn’t belong in the suburbs with normal folks. No, that couldn’t be inferred by the fact that Chance’s job is to maim people–the writers need an entire episode to spell it out piece by piece.
“The Other Side Of The Mall,” in true spirit of the retooled Human Target, is supposed to be funny. It’s not. The obvious setups, transparency of the situations, and genericness of the characters just aren’t conducive to laughter or even amusement. A further drawback is that attempts for humor take up time, leaving a mere hint of a plot and nothing more.
Score: 6.5/10
