Just saw the premier of this new show. Conceptually clever, this may, I say may, be a keeper. A man is brought back from the dead and works with an FBI agent to fight crime. Yeah, I know that sounds lame but there's enough going on in the details to make me watch another one.
 
Sounds similar to stitchers...but not quite, I'll have a look I think :)
 
It has potential as long at the writer exploit all the angles. We'll see.
 
Jan. 21 in the US

Looks very promising. Then, it's Fox. It could be terrible. If it turns out to be good, it might be canceled early.;)

This was surprisingly excellent!

A 75-year-old guy is resurrected as not only a much younger, hunkier version of himself, but as a guy with superhuman strength. We should all be so lucky.

On top of that, the show has a sense of humor.

Most amazing of all, it's on Fox!

I'm still sitting on the fence about this. My reaction right now is "Meh."
 
Ironically, this show may not live up its name, as a second season is looking unlikely.

Second Chance TV show canceled already by FOX?

I'm still watching Second Chance, but the series is not living up to it's potential. It has its moments, as when the resurrected Sheriff Jimmy Pritchard (Robert Kazinsky) -- who was a hard-drinking, womanizing, dominating father -- deals with the psychological damage he inflicted on his now adult son and daughter .
Son, Duval (Tim DeKay), an FBI agent has been let in on the secret. Daughter, Helen (Amanda Detmer), has not.
 
No official word from Fox (that I could find) as the series ended its first season March 25. Second Chance is not exactly Emmy-winning material, but I would watch another season. Amid all the pronouncements of the show's death, Fox did include a twist at the end of the finale, "Gelassenheit," which could provide plot fuel for another season.
