[TV Series] Strike Back

[corruptrelic]

Where the hell did this show come from?!

A high-octane, globe-spanning thriller with storylines ripped from today's headlines, Strike Back, Cinemax's first scripted prime-time original drama series, focuses on two members of a top-secret intelligence agency known as Section 20: Michael Stonebridge, a British sergeant on the elite counter-terrorism team, and Damien Scott, a former U.S. Delta Force operative who was discharged on the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Stonebridge, Scott and the rest of Section 20 criss-cross the globe on the trail of a deadly international terrorist named Latif, who is planning a major attack involving a cache of WMD that could have global repercussions.

England. This will actually be the second season on Cinemax, third overall (the first season aired on Sky and starred Richard Armitage, the next two seasons have a completely different cast). Last season was a lot of fun. It was kind of a mix between Bourne and this 80s action movies that used to air late night on Showtime and Cinemax. The main two guys have a good chemistry and the show is unafraid to kill off its characters.
