Though the series remains entertaining, attractively moody, and sensationally well-acted, there's a lack of urgency and personal import that can be felt throughout.
[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.
Chance seems natural for binge watching, and that makes Hulu's strategy of releasing episodes week by week, just like on television, seem frustrating. Fans of psychological thrillers, though, are likely to find Chance worth the wait.
Chance is buoyed by a strong supporting turn from Embry and an aptly nuanced take from the hot-like-fire Laurie, meaning audiences open to a little self-reflection should volunteer to be victims for this one.
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.
