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.

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

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?
Whoever did the casting for Series 6 should be immediately taken out with an RPG. What were you thinking?? Replacing the god-like Philip Winchester, Sullivan Stapleton, Richard Armitage, Robson Green, Rhona Mitra and Andrew Lincoln with 3 midgets and a barbie doll all with dodgy accents. And to make matters worse, 20 is now being run by a timid girl from the BBC with a crush on Lord Grantham. You could not have got it more wrong if you had picked actors from the phone book.
I was really looking forward to the new season but so far The Brave is looking more polished and believable TV at every level. Totally disappointed!!
10 out of 10 for Series 1-4, 8 out of 10 for Series 5 and 5 out of 10 for this sad imitation.
Addendum: SE6E7 - unbelievable plot, unbelievable acting, unbelievable script, unbelievable romance, unbelievable decision making - just pathetic!! Lowering my rating on Season 6 to 3 stars and that is purely for the anthem "short change hero" which is all this debacle has left. Time to move on - RIP!!

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!
