Strike Back

Extremely violent version of a "24"type show with much better locations and modern effect as it is about covert UK military operations and all THAT entails rather than homeland type US security.I'm HOOKED.It's basically about a special branch called "section 20"which travels all over the world in search of terrorists and weapons of mass distraction.It has its "secrets""double crosses"and other intrigue that the hugely popular series "24" had but MUCH more violent and action packed and I saw it on cable TV cinemas. Now over 2 seasons and 14 episodes I like it much more than 24 but fans in the UK should understand that were it NOT for the HUGE success of 24,would there be a strike back series. It would be very hard to unravel the series many plots and sub plots but it revolves around Philip Winchester as Sgt. Michael Stonebridge,who is SAS trained and the main" in the field "operative and Sullivan Stapleton as Sgt. Damien Scott a disgraced former US Army Iraq war vet.There seemed to be a earlier 3 episodes that weren't shown here but may be available as a movie,but the 14 TV episodes so far are well worth it and they continue.Anyway,these 2 characters bond and have each others backs thru combat and intrigue and personnel crises.The FX work well and don't kill the acting and the"real time"satellite imagery views are fascinating.MUST SEE TV.

Loved this series. Was sorry to see it go in 2015. Two years later it's been reborn in a decidedly less than incarnation. It's not the cast -- it's the writing. Which is, unfortunately, pretty standard issue Special Forces in desert countries shoot-em-up. Where's the story?

Strike Back is easily one of my favorite shows of all-time. It's one of the few shows that I love so much that I've watched it all the way through several times and probably will watch it again in the near future. The cast is absolutely incredible, especially the early seasons with Damien Scott and Phillip Winchester. If you're a fan of action and suspense and you still haven't seen this incredible series yet then do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as you can. I'm warning you now that once you start you won't be able to stop. It's that addicting so make sure to give yourself enough time to binge it.

I can't say enough about how much I love this show. Strike Back is one of the better action shows I've ever seen and is without a doubt one of the most thrilling, action packed shows of all-time! It's about a secret unit in the British Military called Section 20 and follows them on all their dangerous missions across the world. Obviously the first 5 seasons with Sullivan Stapleton (Damien Scott) & Philip Winchester (Michael Stonebridge) are a lot better but the last few seasons with the new guys (Warren Brown and Daniel MacPherson) are still absolutely worth watching. Sad that it had to end but it's absolutely a show you can watch more than once through and still be very entertained!

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!
