Strike Back

I am a huge fan of Strike Back and I absolutely love the original version! However, the new version (season 6) is a pale comparison to the original and, in fact, after watching the first three episodes now, I am so disappointed by the actor's lack of presence, the writer's inability to compose a compelling plot and, the director's armature effort that I have no further interest in watching any more of the new version!

There is no show or film that has bought this level of war-fighting realism to the screen. It seems that Strike Back through the author Chris Ryan was able to retain the services of real SAS and SBS instructors, something that is a first and omg does it show. Combine that with dedicated really talented actors which again is unheard of, usually your typical action star has the acting range of a brick yet the casting agency has really pulled off a winner. And what about locations? INCREDIBLE, the British intelligence teams operate all over the world in some of the most beautiful areas of the planet.

This show has all the class of James Bond and the barrel-end of SAS-level military realism, America could learn some real lessons from this show.

The Brits could dominate TV if they invested in more shows like this.

This is Bravo Two Zero.....out.

So the basic theme of each episode is; bad guy got away last time but we tracked him here its extremely dangerous and the country we need to go to does not want us there. A gorgeous sexy women will be there and sex will happen. They will find the bad guys possibly be betrayed by someone and then be discovered in the country and have lots and lots of shooting and fighting and barely survive. The bad guy will escape (unless it is the final show of the season) and everyone will meet at base to talk about how close it was or fight with each other about something. Roll credits. Repeat.

They should list season 6 separately... would give at most 5 stars. Bad acting, lame story

Strike Back ended with season 5

This isn't really a review, just a disappointment towards the new strike back. I mean this show was never just about guns and fights, but it's the chemistry. you can't buy that. I know might sounds cliche but that's just my opinion.
