Season 2 starts tonight.
Season 1 was solid and I think that this show is flying under the radar for a lot of people. Co-Produced by Sky for the Brits and Cinemax for the US (much like Rome). The acting is better than expected for the genre. The storyline keeps you interested. Production quality is good. If you are an action film fan then you have to give this a chance.

This is one of the few shows that I will drop everything to watch.

Wow. Some thrilling action. You also have to love a show that does not blink in killing major characters.

You really never know with this show. If they do a cliff hanger or put a character in that kind of situation like Sinclair was in you really don't know how it will turn out. In other most shows you have full confidence that someone will come in at the last second to save them.... in this show they very well can be blown up or shot. Sinclair was the 3rd major character that has been killed now.Yea I was somewhat shocked when I saw the head shot. Love the show.Wow. Some thrilling action.

Yea I think the only two untouchables are Scott and Stonebridge. Everyone else can end up in a body bag. Those two really make this show great.You really never know with this show.

I noticed this last season when the female captain they were working with in the field was blown up.

And then the season finale reinforced that as did Friday's. Stonebridges wife was another one though I would not call her character a major part of the series- though I was surprised that they went that route.'Sinn Fein said:You really never know with this show.

The action in this show remains top notch.
Every time I watch this show I say to myself "holy ####" at least 3-4 times. Then I rewind and watch a scene again.
In the elevator when Scott noticed the two "doctors" had guns and turned on them so quickly. Just a pretty quick reaction.
And when Stonebridge shot the asian bad girl in the police station.
And when Scott blew up the ambulance.
And the whole scene when 20 raided Knox's base, killed huge numbers of mercenaries and then chased down the truck with the nuke while gas tanks on their vehicle are blowing up like bombs.
The level of violence and the fact that I can't really predict what will happen next make this show great. Kinds of reminds me of The Shield. Plus as I mentioned already, Rhona Mitra is hot.

I just started watching this show on Amazon prime video. I'm a few episodes into season 2. Awesome show I can't believe doesn't get any fanfare. The amount of hot, sexy women is impressive.

Glad Phillip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton have steady work in the after. Think it is funny how they made the Aussie the American and the American the Brit in the show.

Aussies do terrible British accents...
Seriously though, fun show to watch - but the most unrealistic show in the history of ever. Never seen one team escape from so many shootouts, bombs (including bombs strapped to the chest), etc - all completely unscathed...

SPOILER!
Just kidding. She is smoking hot. Rhona Mitra too. Tons of hot chicks on the show. And Scott got to have sex with all of them. What a show.

That is why I used the actress name rather than character name. But heck, pretty much everyone gets killed off in this show. It is almost like GOT in that aspect expect that in Strike Back you pretty much expect everyone to die and there is no real guessing there. Though... the very last scenes did have me guessing there.

The number of hotties that came and went in that show and has sex scenes was insane. Pretty much every hot chick you saw you knew there would be a sex scene eventually and yes, Scott was all of them. Heck, even the Red Head chick in charge in season 1 had a hecka nice rack. I think her and the black DEA agent were the only attractive women NOT in sex scenes in the whole series.
