Strike Back is easily one of my favorite shows of all-time. It's one of the few shows that I love so much that I've watched it all the way through several times and probably will watch it again in the near future. The cast is absolutely incredible, especially the early seasons with Damien Scott and Phillip Winchester. If you're a fan of action and suspense and you still haven't seen this incredible series yet then do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as you can. I'm warning you now that once you start you won't be able to stop. It's that addicting so make sure to give yourself enough time to binge it.
I am a huge fan of Strike Back and I absolutely love the original version! However, the new version (season 6) is a pale comparison to the original and, in fact, after watching the first three episodes now, I am so disappointed by the actor's lack of presence, the writer's inability to compose a compelling plot and, the director's armature effort that I have no further interest in watching any more of the new version!
Loved this series. Was sorry to see it go in 2015. Two years later it's been reborn in a decidedly less than incarnation. It's not the cast -- it's the writing. Which is, unfortunately, pretty standard issue Special Forces in desert countries shoot-em-up.

They should list season 6 separately... would give at most 5 stars. Bad acting, lame story
Strike Back ended with season 5

So the basic theme of each episode is; bad guy got away last time but we tracked him here its extremely dangerous and the country we need to go to does not want us there. A gorgeous sexy women will be there and sex will happen. They will find the bad guys possibly be betrayed by someone and then be discovered in the country and have lots and lots of shooting and fighting and barely survive. The bad guy will escape (unless it is the final show of the season) and everyone will meet at base to talk about how close it was or fight with each other about something. Roll credits. Repeat.
