Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
youngjessica Watched Season 1 and I liked it, fresh, tense, good characters and plot... I'm guessing this is where the book ended because in Season 2 we have the usual basement dwelling writer, who has zero experience of real life, constructing drivel that insults the intelligence. Really, really bad stuff... some of these plot contrivances would embarrass a five year old. If you want to enjoy this show watch Season 1 and be satisfied with that.
tomsview "Chance" is dark metaphorically and physically - half of it seems to have been shot during "Earth Hour". However it has twists and turns we don't see coming and nobody is as they seem. Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Eldon Chance, a divorced forensic neuropsychiatrist with skeletons in the closet. We see why there isn't much mirth in his life when we glimpse some his cases. Most of them seem to have ended up on a hospital gurney or with a plastic bag over their head. However his fees must have been healthy; he has an epicurean taste with interests in things such as classic furniture with price tags up around the 80K mark.The furniture leads to involvement with 'D' (Ethan Suplee), an ex-special forces type of guy built like a tank. 'D' reveals that he is also a student of the human psyche, especially when it involves violence. But it's when the doctor becomes involved with Jaclyn Blackstone (Gretchen Mol), that the situation has the potential for more trouble than a footballer in a nightclub.Jaclyn could be suffering from multiple personality disorder; two are in evidence, one more dangerous than the other. She also claims to have been abused by her husband. Unfortunately the husband is a homicide cop. Chance comments that a cop knows the system. 'D' informs him, "he is the system". There are touches of humour in the exchanges between Chance and 'D'. However to really bring this baby home, there needed be a surprise at the end that leaves us gasping. Not so easy to do when "Chance" pulls off a perfect two and a half back-somersault with twists around episode 7 when Chance learns the truth about 'D', it was always going to be tough to give us an ending to match that, and "Chance" ends a little sotto voce.The second series develops the characters more as Chance and 'D' go into the urban vigilante business big time. It's good, very good, but it's hard to beat the experience of the first time round.
mustafay Spoiler Alert: This season was totally a different and darker story: The vigilante duo added more sidekicks to the team and they hunted bullies, perverts and a serial killer gang. The family issues got harder to solve, friendships tightened, antagonists got sicker. And all came down to a conclusion where "all is well".Hugh Laurie acted like he was House again. He likes to act that way because people love him and his portrayal of Dr. House.Unfortunately lots of people haven't watched or even heard of there was a Hugh Laurie's medical-crime drama airing.So I guess the second season finale was the series' finale. And it felt good at last to watch him re-discovering (or remembering) that why he bothered to mess up with all the bad guys after all: For good people's sake!Cheers Dr. Chance!
notanaxkiller-107-287911 It's a great show...great actors, great characters, great story-line. I appreciate the depth of the dialogue, and the fact that they deal with life as it is,rather than how most would like it to be. Hugh Laurie is exceptional, as usual, but EVERYONE helps carry this vehicle. While I don't watch much television, I look forward to every episode of Chance. You will too.
