Loved loved this series! It stopped just when it was beginning to explore Dr. Chances own mental issues having been passed down to his teen daughter. What a unique discussion this would have been. That dialogue has rarely been examined. Ethan (D) is unique and fabulous. Chance (Hugh Laurie) is a privilege to behold. Examined in the series then is the question of how does one constructively deal with bullying/evil/acts of violence waged against oneself?

Well written, great acting. Especially LisaGay Hamilton. Stefania LaVie Owen is also great as Chance's daughter. And Gretchen Mol is still the most beautiful woman on planet Earth. Definitely one to watch but be warned it's a bit slow. Or just more cerebral than the other garbage on TV. Maybe it's because I grew up watching Zorro, but the 1st season could have been done easily in 8 episodes instead of ten. And the biggest question of all, why does he use a Windows phone? It's 2016/2017. Nobody uses Windows phones. Do they still make them? Is it some kind of inside joke? Anyway, really good show. Watch it.

Oakland consulting neuro-psychiatrist Eldon Chance (Hugh Laurie) wearily struggles to treat his patients despite the indifference and red tape of his profession. Lucy (Greta Lee) is his secretary. His divorce from Christina (Diane Farr) is costing him all of his money. He has to pull his daughter Nicole (Stefania LaVie Owen) out of the good private school. His new referral Jaclyn Blackstone (Gretchen Mol) by therapist Suzanne Silver (LisaGay Hamilton) leads to her possibly abusive and corrupt police detective husband Raymond Blackstone (Paul Adelstein). Chance is selling his antique furniture with dealer Carl (Clarke Peters) who introduces him to skilled craftsman D (Ethan Suplee). More importantly, he's highly unstable with a warped sense of morality. In the second season, police detective Kevin Hynes forces Chance into investigating computer tycoon Ryan Winter. ADA Frank Lambert takes on the case. Nicole starts having trouble at school.At first, I thought that D was a figment of Chance's imagination. No matter how unlikely, I kept picturing a Fight Club scenario. Once I got used to the premise, the show gets a lot better. I like hard-core Ethan Suplee. Hugh Laurie is solid. There is good darkness overall. The first season has a good tension although the climax could be done better. The second season has a couple of nice villains. Nicole has more involvement then. This is a good show with a darker edge.

Spoiler Alert: This season was totally a different and darker story: The vigilante duo added more sidekicks to the team and they hunted bullies, perverts and a serial killer gang. The family issues got harder to solve, friendships tightened, antagonists got sicker. And all came down to a conclusion where "all is well".Hugh Laurie acted like he was House again. He likes to act that way because people love him and his portrayal of Dr. House.Unfortunately lots of people haven't watched or even heard of there was a Hugh Laurie's medical-crime drama airing.So I guess the second season finale was the series' finale. And it felt good at last to watch him re-discovering (or remembering) that why he bothered to mess up with all the bad guys after all: For good people's sake!Cheers Dr. Chance!
