Second Chance

Tech Genius, PA, People Genius, Bad Cop, Granddaughter, Good Cop (I'm not good at character names in my initial binge watching.)

Grumpy, disgraced ex-sheriff Jimmy Pritchard is killed in a break in, but his body is swiped by scientific genius Otto Goodwin for use in an experimental cellular regeneration treatment intended to save his sister Mary, his only link to the world. The regenerated Jimmy appears to be his son's age and is built like a brick shithouse, with added super science badassness, so on learning that his killer was a corrupt Fed and his son's partner, he breaks out of the lab to help in the case, with his new super-physique and old-fashioned perp-punching methods.

I guess the casting call asked for 'Male, late 30s, really comfortable floating
naked in a tank a lot.'

Thus begins Second Chance, a Frankensteinish new crime series, in which Jimmy partners with his son, Dupre, to use his new life to bust scumbags. He is backed up by the Goodwins' tech and money, in return for donating his blood to treat Mary's cancer. It's not terrible, but it doesn't quite stand out from the herd, which is presumably why it was cancelled. I'm three episodes into the only season and will probably watch, but not review, the rest.
