Human Target/YMMV

2010 series
"Winston: (needing to know which wire to cut to defuse a bomb) Did you just flip a coin?!
 * Awesome Music: Bear McCreary. Enough said.
 * Unfortunately he wasn't invited back for season two.
 * Complete Monster Hector Lopez, the Dragon in "A Problem Like Maria" and "Communication Breakdown" qualifies.
 * Crazy Awesome: Guerrero all the way.

Guerrero: No."

"Winston: I swear, if you weren't my boss I'd shoot you."
 * Fan Nickname: G-Man - Guerrero.
 * The Firefly Effect: Fans are resisting becoming attached: it's on FOX and has Too Good to Last written all over it.
 * It has however achieved decent ratings and earned a second season.
 * According to the recent release of the 2010-2011 TV schedule, however, it's unfortunately landed in the Friday Night Death Slot. And we all know Fox's record with shows on that night.
 * After Lone Star was axed, Fox moved up Lie to Me to fill in Monday nights and moved Human Target to Wednesdays. There may be some hope after all.
 * It was cancelled in early May of 2011; YMMV on whether there was enough Executive Meddling to no longer consider it "good".
 * Fridge Brilliance: Of course Guerrero doesn't care about someone knowing his real name; for all intents and purposes that person is just a cipher, Guerrero is the one that matters. At the same time, using his legal name such that there's a paper trail (which he specifically states when talking to Ilsa) -is- something he cares about
 * Fridge Horror: That's cool how everyone fears Guerrero as if he were Death itself. Until you realize that in order for that to happen, Guerrero must really have gone through with ... business ... for his presence to be a legitimate threat.
 * Fridge Logic: Prior to season two, though the team was ostensibly getting paid by their clients, how exactly they paid for everything remains a mystery given some of their methods.
 * Heartwarming Moments: In the first season finale, upon returning to the previous Chance's apartment, Carmine the puppy is sitting there, waiting for him. It then becomes Carmines Crowning Moment of Awesome when he leads Jr. to the first of the many hidden weapons around the apartment.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: In "Communication Breakdown" Chance and Ilsa pinned down in a cabin with several spiders. Even Chance is freaking out at this point.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: "I'm gonna break into your house and kill every one of ya in your sleep."
 * Ho Yay: Chance and Winston in 1x09 (Corner Man), which is impeccably lampshaded by Guererro. 'Get a room', indeed!
 * Like You Would Really Do It
 * The Load / The Scrappy: Ilsa seems to be turning into this.


 * Moment of Awesome: In the first season finale: "My name is Christopher Chance"
 * Ms. Fanservice: Ames is quickly becoming this. Fortunately, she still gets a little bit of screen time as more than just this though at the same time, the show seems to try very hard not to put her in to an actual fight.
 * One of Us: Ames can be seen in "A Problem Like Maria" laughing at and enjoying an anime during their plane trip.
 * Shoo Out the New Guy: The appropriately-named Ilsa Pucci. She is introduced in the second-season, and serves as a foil and romantic interest to Chance. Fan response to her has been... mixed, to say the least.
 * The Scrappy: Ames
 * They Changed It Now It Sucks: There are those who feel that way about the addition of female cast members and a huge bank account are a serious case of this, as is the replacement of Bear McCreary with Tim Jones.
 * The credits, dear god, the credits. WHY?
 * Not everyone cares for the addition of Ilsa Pucci and her money, and the show constantly focusing on her in some way.
 * Too Good to Last
 * Unfortunate Implications: The second episode features Winston in a flight attendant's uniform, catering to an obviously amused Chance.
