Human Target is one of the most underrated DC comic book shows of the previous decade, and it's overdue for its streaming comeback.
When the MCU was still in its infancy, before the DCEU came to fruition, and before DC comic book superhero shows were the norm, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television produced one of the most underrated DC comic book shows of all time. We're talking about Human Target, an excellent, yet sadly short-lived, series.
Based on DC Comics' Human Target, created by Len Wein and Carmine Infantino, the series starred Mark Valley as the show's eponymous "Human Target," aka Christopher Chance. Unfortunately, despite an incredible setup and an amazing first season, host network FOX and Warner Bros. Television cut the series short, forcing changes that upset the show's dynamic and killed it. This explains how the most underrated DC comic book series never became the hit it should have been, and how it's overdue for a streaming comeback.
