then seems to merge with the show below ?
this link is my original ? so check out the above link http://www.cinemax.com/strike-back/
Just found it
Did a search here did not find any thread on it ? If there is sorry for the double post
Seems entertaining so far but only saw first episode
Is there season 1 that was BBC (with the guy from Walking Dead) and then season one that was Cinemax which is being followed by season two starting now on Cinemax?
I watched the two first episodes of season one from Cinemax on youtube. Seems pretty interesting. 24 with more action and way more boobs. Not liking the big plot of international conspiracy on WMD and where that is leading. Aren’t 7th centrury fun-for-mentalists who want to kill us any way they can a good enough enemy?
Saw Best Buy had the blue-ray of season one so stopped by to pick it up- no luck their online inventory system is hosed. Why I even give them a chance is a whole other thread.
Looks like lots of AKs, interesting plots, boobs and gun play. Beats the crap out of Newsroom on HBO…
the story/plot seems to be OK
the guy in the first season was a guy from the BBC MI5 show I liked for a twist on a spy show non US focused which was fun to watch
also the sheriff from walking dead
this being British angle makes it a bit more like watching from the outside for some reason ? not sure why
its a bit like The Unit in some sense has family life and such so far
so its a bit like 24 where the season takes you through a situation
frigin confusing !!! how they did the merger !!!
I do think/view going into these shows they are not realistic and are acted dramatized etc… so when its good its good in a way that the early shows of The Unit were fun to watch
agree enemies like this dont need more reason the plot is OK like 24 is OK its a show after all and The Unit was fun first season !
also I have only watched two episodes it could go downhill quickly
Awesome show! I stumbled across it by accident a while ago. There is a lot of good gun play. They also seem to show some guns that you normally do not see in shows or movies.
You can see a lot of full episodes from different seasons on YouTube.
It’s a great show. It’s a hell of a lot better than some dancing reality contest show my wife watches.
I’ve only seen the cinemax version. I do get a kick out of them using some expensive high end gear one episode and then using a fairly cheap rifle with some cheap accessories the next.
I watched one of the after show interviews last season. I got a kick out of the American actually being Australian and the british guy actually being American. It always amazes me how many actors actually have a fairly strong accent.
Season 1 was pretty slow and difficult to keep focused IMO. Season 2 (our season 1 I guess) was awesome! Just shooting this up, humor and bewbs… what more do you need? Season 3 (or season 2) is starting out much slower than season 2. I know they need to set up the antagonist and storyline and what not but it just doesn’t have the same feel to it as season 2 which was great entertainment. Overall, one of the better firearm related shows on TV now so while many will try to slam it to make themselves seem like some sort of tactical elite ninja it’s a decent watch with cool guns and the use of full power blanks gives it a more realistic feel than most shows/movies these days.
Personally, I would never make a show to suit the firearm crowd because they’re WAY too picky. It’s much easier to make some mindless sitcom or reality show and make millions of dollars than try to please the narrow gun crowd market because you’ll never make them happy is what I’ve noticed.
I’ve sat through season two and now season 3’s two episodes. lot’s of action, decent story, and lot’s of lovely lady parts. If it were on HBO it would be far more popular, but Cinemax is HBO’s bastard son.
It’s work checking out if you haven’t seen it, ton’s of good gunplay and dead bodies. Did I mention awesome boob shots for days? All of the naked chicks are hot as hell.
The two hero’s sustain a shit ton of damage and keep on kicking ass, I think it’s The Unit on steroids, without the bitchy wives interrupting the story line. The American dude bangs chick after chick and lasts about two minutes each, just like most M4C’rs.
Season 2 was the best. They found a way to shoot or sex their way out of every situation… even if it wasn’t a situation worthy of shooting or sexing.
bang ! (guns)
bang ! (fighting damage)
bang ! (the chicks)
rest time
repeat !
but its done in a way that delivers better than most shows
good build up good suspension points good climax points in more way than the gun fight scenes and has a story line that you can watch and follow and keeps you wondering whats going on a bit more than some shows where you can totally guess every part
its not perfect but better than most
It’s one of the few shows that you can watch the same episode twice and see something you missed the first time, they don’t make em like that often.
If you aren’t watching it, you are missing out on great TV. The quality is actually better than most, considering that it’s British, Hollywood should be embarrassed that they are being outdone by a much smaller studio.
