By summer's lower standards, the series is watchably preposterous. [19 July 1992, p.3]
-
More than anything, what's missing in Human Target are suspense and a convincing hero.
-
Opening program is a disappointment. Better stories and a tighter directorial rein are needed. The acting is surface stuff and too much of the action depends on the gadgets.
-
Christopher Chance and his incredible flying machine mates are too uni-dimensional to win our interest, let alone our sympathy and alle-giance. [20 July 1992]
-
Springfield is too delicate to accept as a borderline nut case with highly developed martial-arts skills. The slender Australian looks and moves like a snotty waiter at a trendy restaurant. [20 July 1992, p.27]
-
Perhaps there are a few kids who might buy this sort of stuff, but most others will be bored stiff and find pretentious the ways in which Chance maintains that what he is now doing is part of a post-Vietnam guilt trip. The show's main failing is in taking itself too seriously. It's somber when it should be silly. [20 July 1992, p.C5]
