CHANCE

Story is based on the life of local baseball star Chance Smith, who committed suicide in 2012 at the age of 16 following a breakup.

Season 1, Episode 10 – Chance ends its first season with an episode that squandered the drama and excitement it built towards last week, as Chance deals with the aftermath of his confrontation with Blackstone and learns yet another secret about Jaclyn.

Season 1, Episode 9 – The penultimate episode the season feels like a placeholder, promising excitement next week as Chance finally confronts Blackstone in what is set up to be a battle to the death, but just filling time this week.

Season 1, Episode 8 – The show’s many flaws are on full display this week, as we’re subjected to yet another episode full of laughable dialogue, unnecessary scenes, and Hugh Laurie staring wildly into the distance.

Season 1, Episode 7 – Explosive secrets about both Dee and Jaclyn’s past are revealed this week on Chance. Neither are who they are pretending to be, which puts Chance in an even more dangerous position.

Season 1, Episode 6 – After the shocking events of this week’s episode, there are now life-or-death stakes in Chance’s quest to bring down Blackstone, but there’s also a hint that Jaclyn might not be as innocent as she seems.

Season 1, Episode 5 – After the events of this week’s episode, Chance is in way too deep to return to his normal life. But is it worth it? Is the Jaclyn/Jackie thing real, or just a ruse? We’re halfway through the season now, with still so many questions left unanswered.

Season 1, Episode 4 – Chance and Dee begin staking out Blackstone, with their investigation paying off with the discovery of a damning secret, while Jaclyn drops a bombshell of her own.

Season 1, Episode 3 – Someone is targeting Chance, threatening to expose his deepest, darkest secrets—Chance has his own twisted past. He teams up with Dee to take Raymond down, but is Raymond really the one responsible? I’m not convinced.

Season 1, Episode 1-2 – Hugh Laurie plays a different type of troubled doctor in Hulu’s new original series Chance, which got off to a slow, strange start with the two episodes it released today.
