I know that the show is done, but I wish they could find a way to bring it back. The actors make a great team and the writers are very good. Antbody 40 years plus has a dream and that's having the chance to go back and make a difference. When you are young, its easy to be selfish and not see the bigger picture. As you get older, its less about yourself... or is it... Getting older is hard. The younger generations are always going to be pationate, but off the mark. When we have been in the real world for a while, things change; passions change. Before this show came along, I imagined something like this. I don't like to watch shows week by week. I, like many people, like to wait for a few seasons to go by and then binge watch. I guess that doesn't help the studios that are counting on people to also have to watch the commercials. Sorry this one didn't make it. I waited hoping that maybe it would be brought back but its a bit late for that now, so I'm binge watching season 1.

It was bothering me when I saw the description of this series, I knew I'd heard it before. Back in 1999 - 2000 there was a series starring Eric Close (had such a crush on him) called 'Now and Again'. A husband (played by John Goodman) is killed. He's brought back by a scientist in a younger, genetically enhanced form. Maybe the personal issues are different, I don't know but the premise is the same. I guess they thought they'd give the idea another outing. So although they have tried to make this into a bad guy going through a learning experience to become a good guy (as has been done before) the similarities to the previous series spoilt this for me. I guess I never got over Eric Close :) The smug-faced beefcake who's the main character just didn't cut it for me, not my type! Couldn't get into this at all.

I started watching it really because there was nothing else on Friday nights from then on I was hooked. I love the story line and I love the characters. The writing is superb.I know they present it as modern day Frankenstein, and it is but the writers do such an excellent job that really you just forget and enjoy the show for what it is: an old man trying to atone for his past. I thought they jumped the shark in episode 10 and 11 but I must say the recovered quickly. Fox needs a stronger lineup right now. They're losing American Idol (never watched 1 entire show), Sleepy Hollow left me wanting more (they lost me after the first season), gave Rosewood a try (didn't feel it), Lucifer seems promising (we'll have to wait and see). So as far as I'm concerned this is a MUST RENEW for them. Hope they don't bail out on a Must See TV on Fridays!!

First of all they changed the title from The Frankenstein Code to Second Chance. Why? I have to guess they think we're stupid and can't handle such a cool title. And I really enjoy this show from the few episodes I've seen. I like the cast and acting. It isn't perfect but hey, it's only episode 3! Now Fox has moved the show to Fridays. I can handle Fridays, but I don't want them to cancel the show. If you believe the internet it doesn't look good for the show.IMDb gives it a 7.9! I'll give it an 8 and some room for improvement. Other shows are below this rating.The title 'Second Chance' though appropriate isn't a good title. They must have been forced to change the title by a bunch of suits. A show with The Frankenstein Code would pull in more viewers. Change it now! Why couldn't you? But you won't because it's probably too late.I will be sad to see this show go after so few episodes. I've read elsewhere people saying 'There goes Fox again!' It makes it difficult to even care about a show when it may not be given a chance. I really really hope they do. Fingers crossed. P.S. And with episode 3's big and deserved early reveal... should I watch another episode? I will for the cast, crew and what could have been a great run.
