Right now you can watch Human Target on streaming — and it moves faster than most of the genre's competition. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 169 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. No filler scenes, no spinning wheels between the action. Start it whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Human Target keeps coming up in conversation. The set pieces are impressive, but it is the story underneath them that gives Human Target its staying power. It takes a brave, selfless man to make himself a "human target" in order to save the lives of those in danger. Based on the popular DC Comics comic book and graphic novel, Human Target is a full-throttle action drama centered on Christopher Chance, a unique private contractor/security expert/bodyguard hired to protect. Mark Valley and Chi McBride lead a cast that earns every set piece rather than just filling it. The series ran for 2 seasons (2010–2011), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What separates Human Target from disposable action entertainment is character work that survives the explosions. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want their entertainment to move fast and not waste a scene, Human Target respects your time. The tonal similarities to Arrow are real, though Human Target carves out its own identity quickly. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Mark Valley is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action the context it needs to land. The action holds up because the character work underneath it never lets up.

Human Target was cancelled in 2011, created by Jonathan E. Steinberg — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
