Human Target is a television show based (extremely) loosely on, arguably merely suggested by, the Human Target comic book character of DC Comics. The original concept was seen in the fifth season of Arrow.
Premise[]
The events of the series take place in San Francisco and follow the life of Christopher Chance, a unique private contractor, bodyguard and security expert hired to protect his clients. Rather than taking on the target's identity himself (with prosthetics etc., as in the comic book version), he protects his clients by completely integrating himself into their lives, to become the human target.
