Three episodes in and I have a big question...


On the fence with this one. Do I want to spend 7 more hours with this? Does it get better?

I enjoyed each episode more as the season progressed. What did you like or dislike about the first three eps?

Hugh Laurie and Ethan Suplee are both FANTASTIC. They play basically the same character at different ages, with different physiques, and with different temperaments. I'd say more, but that would/will ruin the series for you. This is a "man's man" series that doesn't emphasize that fact. If you like Clint Eastwood stuff, you'll almost certainly like "Chance." Unlike other posts on this board, the series bears no resemblance to "Vertigo."

I am enjoying it somewhat. There is just so much really good TV these days. (Never thought I would say that a decade ago.)


I enjoy all the acting, though this is far from my favorite Hugh Laurie role. (Loved the Night Manager) and I think Suplee is a terrific actor. I also really like Gretchen Moll. I just felt like it might not go anywhere to exciting at the end of episode three and was deciding whether to continue. I wanted to see a couple, "Hey man, it gets better, keep watching." responses. Which I did. Think I need to finish. Thank you.

I just finished the series and think Hugh was great here, i really enjoyed seeing a mor ehuman doctor this time in the sense that he allowed himself to be a father and more compassionate towards his patients.

Yes at times i did miss the House confidence and his leadership skills but i liked seeing Hugh showing his more caring side in this series.
The most ideal character for Hugh would be a mixture between House and Chance. Chance's relationships with patients and House's fantastic mind and being able to read people's mind.

He plays a real badass in The Night Manager and he is superb.

Just finished The Night Manager and agreed to the point of wishing Roper would be the leading character, in the first 3 episodes where Jade still loves Roper he is much more interesting and Attractive than Pine
