In Seattle, FBI agent Duval Pritchard (Tim DeKay) is struggling to deal with his hard-living disgraced former sheriff father Jimmy. Jimmy is investigating Duval's case and two thugs fake his suicide for it. Meanwhile, twins Mary (Dilshad Vadsaria) and Otto Goodwin (Adhir Kalyan) are tech billionaires with an advanced social networking program called Looking Glass. They have a computer A.I. called Arthur. Otto is on the spectrum and created his own language to communicate with only Mary. She's secretly dying and he rejuvenates the dead Jimmy into a younger body (Robert Kazinsky) to use his genetic material for a cure. Jimmy is more powerful but he needs regular treatments to stay alive. Alexa (Vanessa Lengies) is Mary's assistant. Helen (Amanda Detmer) is Duval's sister and Gracie (Ciara Bravo) is his daughter.
I really like this new take on an old classic. Although I think most people would be happier to have direct name connections. Otto could be Victor Frankenstein and Mary should be Mary Shelley Frankenstein. People finds comfort and joy in these direct references. I really like the twins and where Otto goes at the end of the season. The actors are all solid. The name Second Chance is terribly bland. The audience never really even gave it a first chance. I could have given it a higher score if the show actually lasted longer.
