Watched several episodes before losing interest. The foreign locales and villains are repetitive. Way too much gratuitous sex making Stapleton out like he is Brad Pitt. No Jack Bauer here to keep me involved and give me a rooting interest.
... View MoreStumbled onto the 6-episode first season of Strike Back and was pleasantly surprised t how good it was & got instantly hooked on the show. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Richard Armitage and Andrew Lincoln created amazing characters that you either rooted for or hated. The first season was so fast-paced and suspense-ful that I decided to binge the series. The re-casting of Philip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton brought a new dynamics to the series which I enjoyed. However, when the series was again re-cast for Season 6, I hated it. The geniuses who put together the latest dream team must've done in while asleep. This latest team would have trouble rescuing a kitten up a tree. Better to have ended the series when Winchester and Stapleton moved on.

... View MoreI just adjusted my review of the series from a 9 to a 2. It used to be a great show, and I was very excited to see that it was returning for a sixth season. I have never been more disappointed in a reboot than .... oh, wait. That Ghostbusters debacle. Because that is what just happened. It used to be a great show for everyone, and now it's a ridiculous chick flick. I just finished Episode 8, and it hasn't gotten any better. The girls are constantly saving the day, and the two actual "operators" are basically used for distractions and needing saving. In the opening episode, the "tough" chick walks in on one of the guys finishing a shower, and makes a few jokes implying he wasn't well endowed. Imagine if that was reversed, and a male character was leering at some woman in an open shower bay, and then repeatedly pointing out how flat-chested she was. Yeah, the harpies would lose their minds.This show went from great to pathetically awful in one season. #sad
