[TV] Strike Back S01-2-3

Does anyone watch this show? It doesn't seem to be all that mainstream. I'm currently up to the third season and loving every second of it. Heck, i even postponed Dexter,TWD and Homeland for the week, just to finish season 2.

If i could describe the show, i'd say its takes after one of the early Call of Duty MW campaigns.

Here's one of my favourite scenes for those not familiar?

Its very crafty, you're really kept on your toes and no one character is safe. Did i not mention it has a storyline too. Don't want to give too much away.

Spoiler

Its only down fall is season 1 doesn't really connect with season 2, it's still kickass but it's more of a casting issue.

Please, take a look.

 

Its good, not as polished as S02 but that would come down to budget. I almost consider it to be a different show altogether. The two leads Richard Armitage and Andrew Lincoln (Rick from TWD) don't appear in S02. Armitage took a role in the Hobbit and im guessing Lincoln persued TWD.

 

You're right about the cast. It has an underlying storeyline carried over from S01 though.

 

Spoiler

Its basically the same idea as s02.

Main plot follows section 20 (british secret intelligence) through a series of tactical missions set in pakistan, afghanistan and some african country i cant think of right now.. Uses one agent however, former SAS John porter.

Porter is sent into hostile enviroments to follow leads and recover intel. He ultimately finds out too much information involving the US in regards to their involvement in Afghanistan, quickly becoming public enemy number 1.

There is smaller plotlines, since the series is 6 episodes long. Missions are split into 2 episodes with the main plot concluding in the 6th.
