    Awesome, Absolutely Awesome

    This show is one of the best, if not the best, shows to watch. I just absolutely love it. I was delighted to see that season 4 had just aired on tv. I have seasons 1 and 2 on dvd but can't seem to find season 3 anywhere, not on dvd , and not even online. I have binge watched all the seasons and find myself rewatching them again some 6 months later. I am over the moon that season 4 is here and I really hope that they continue to make the show. Being from the army I find myself captivated by the tests and training that the candidates are put through each season. It just shows how tough you have to be mentally and physically to join the elite Special Forces. Thanks to Ant Middleton and everybody involved for making such a great show.

    Inspirational!

    What a fascinating world we have been privileged to take a glance into. So interesting how tough the Staff are and their reasoning for each and everything they do. All carefully thought out, tried and tested methods in what can only be imagined as the toughest environments known to man. I cannot recommend this series highly enough. Be mindful if you feel critical towards the recruits. This does not look easy even from the safety of a couch.

    wow!

    Makes you question your own worthiness. such a great watch, inspiring too! They are taken into the jungle, so if you thought the last season was tough enough, now they have to survive constant barrages of training and fear tactics from the former elite SAS staff, who are mesmerizing, themselves, to watch. So many people with so many backgrounds and unexpected dropouts and unexpected strong candidates make you question what you think you know. Forget reality shows, forget game shows, forget settling for average squabbling hissy fits and get down to brass tax with the SAS team on whether you are a balanced human and start questioning your own flaws! ENJOY!

    Ruined by channel 4

    Was a great show for first 2/3 years. Ant and the rest of the lads are top drawer. Unfortunately it's been ruined by the twisted victim seeking leftists at channel 4.

    Umm.. Season 6 is utter rubbish

    What happened? The first seasons were great.. but things have taken a massive slide. Season 6 is more like school sports day with psychological support groups. There is nothing there!

    3 absailing/dropping type challenges.. Jumping across a 3.5 foot gap in the cliffs (with ropes). Being picked up by a boat by grabbing a hoop. Attacking a man in full padded armour who doesn't fight back. Being stuck in a dark cave (with a film crew about).. If this is what is expected of the SAS these days then my god, standards have fallen. What a farce! Even the instructors have given up the act, constantly patting people on the shoulder and telling them what a wonderful job they've done for not bursting in to tears when they're asked to absail down a cliff. Christ.

    Lets face it. Channel 4 have ruined this show. They made the majority of challenges psychological rather than physical because they REALLLLLLY want female/lgbt winners. The show no longer deserves it's name. Nothing here is serious or reflects real SF training. The staff should reject any season 7 because they're becoming a disgrace and harming the reputation of SF with this rubbish.
