Strike Back

NexusK · 19 Feb 2015 at 19:14

This has been airing for 5 years but i just watched the first double episode last night and the third tonight, holy poo is it good. The 1.5 hours double episode opener was almost good enough to be a movie in it's own right when compared to some similar movies that are out.

For something i've always had something 'better' to watch instead it's surprised me. I've watched so much TV that when i see someone good i've missed i get excited

Helps it has Walking Dead's Rick Grimes

Gets much better my friend! You will start to become worried when theres not at least one sex scene per episode

Also once stonebridge and scott get together, its awesome

The first Strike Back with Porter was great. The rest were fantastic tbh.

I picked up the series 1 and 2 dvd set following a recommendation of a friend a year or two ago but not watched them yet! Need to get round to it as sounds good.

Thanks for pointing this out to me it looks fantastic.

There is some funky numbering (US airings or something) with some of the seasons and episodes btw so watch out for that. Some bits are really good but I find it gets a bit too samey so can only watch it in bursts (not helped by most of the streaming/dl services having a bad copy of season 4 with all or parts of the dialog missing from episodes).

I'm surprised that its a relatively unknown show as its atleast as good as the big name shows like the unit, even 24, etc.

Yeah, one of those under the radar shows, I really liked the first series, but wasn't too keen on the cast change from S2 onwards.

I hope so. Restarted my Netflix sub at the same time as starting this show and now wondering why i bothered

ci_newman · 20 Feb 2015 at 20:39

I watch this too. Does anyone know if they are doing another series?

darkgen · 21 Feb 2015 at 08:16

Umm so, during pulling an all nighter at work I started to watch this and er umm either I'm sleep depraved or the acting is absolutely atrocious?!

Series 5 is due sometime this year, late summer onwards, but was delayed for about 6 months due to the actor that plays Scott getting injured off set.

Confirmed as the last series.

It has been superb series. Right from the start, something for everyone in ever episode.

I'm just about to finish season 4 and this is one amazing show. I'm happy I came across this thread as I was wondering if they were making season 5.

NexusK · 9 Mar 2015 at 09:37

Watched the last episode of season 4 last night and gutted there's no more until later in the year. I really liked the first season but the following 3 with Stonebridge and Damien were on another level. Cinemax really nailed the buddy thing.

Gonna have to have a watch. It's on Sky box sets.

Stonebridge and Scott weren't as good as Porter, IMO.
I still enjoyed it though, particularly when I found out the Brit was a Yank and the Yank was an Aussie... adding in Rhona Mitra was just a stroke of dreamy genius!!

Was just thinking about this earlier! Can't remember if I watched season 4 now it was that long ago.

Can't wait for the 5th or to even watch the 4th

Agreed not quite as good it had that similar vibe when spartacus lost its main leading man but it still continued and was a good show

Strike back season 5 has been delayed past year but good news is its due this summer back for its final 10 episode run.

Hope more nekkid women mixed in with counter strike

NexusK · 1 Jun 2015 at 09:38

Season 5 starts on Wednesday on Sky1.

ci_newman · 1 Jun 2015 at 16:53

Yep, set up on Sky+ and ready to go

CHokKA · 1 Jun 2015 at 16:56

Can't wait for this season. I really enjoy this show, it's the perfect man show!
