      Brian Lowry CNN.com There's something a bit too familiar about this ordinary guy being sucked ever further into darkness and jeopardy. May 21, 2019 Full Review Willa Paskin Slate Chance wants to be a kind of seedy California noir, complete with femme fatale but is personality-less instead. May 21, 2019 Full Review Justin Burke The Australian It is enthralling and intelligent entertainment. Dec 26, 2017 Full Review David Butcher Radio Times [Huhg] Laurie is excellent, with an air of priestly weariness and a rougher, sadder version of his House growl. The shape of the story takes a while to emerge, but it could run and run. May 21, 2019 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba It's a glum, glacially-paced noir, and I probably would've stopped watching midway through the first episode had it not been for the presence of Hugh Laurie. May 21, 2019 Full Review Kiera Allen Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) Even if it's only serendipitous, you won't want to miss out on Chance. Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

      Joe S I liked it. If there had been a Season 3, I would have tuned in. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Pamela H I am infuriated that I gave this stupid show so much of my time. It is so poorly written, the dialog is ridiculous and the heroine is the most unlikable character I've ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Audience Member You keep watching because you can't beleive that Hugh Laurie would be in anything this bad and there must be a twist. There isn't. It is a B grade daytime soapy. Women are Madonna/whore types who are crazy, manipulative but oh so irresisibly sexy to tragic middle class, midlife crisis, middling white males. Good thing these men are around to save, spank or chastise these problematic women! (vomit). Did Laurie fall off a cliff and forget he was a super star and not a struggling actor begging for a chance? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Great find. Love Hugh Laurie. Why did they cancel it? So good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review arya s Started out with a lot of suspense and intrigue, like a San Francisco film noir, complete with femme fatale, morally flawed protagonist, and fascinating off-beat character D. But the plot gets silly in the middle, Chance is just a plain bad psychiatrist, his extreme choices make no sense, and Laurie and Moll have no sexual chemistry. D's lines provide some comic relief. Not worth the time investment. Should have been a tight two-hour film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Average. Hugh Laurie's character becomes rather unlikeable and I found myself rooting for his death to stop his stupidity. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
