    I found it on Pirate Bay.

    I retract my previous annoyance regarding the ending - wrapped nicely in #4

    I'm liking the show - kind of a hardcore version of The Unit. However, there are some eye-rolling scenes specifically for the 18-25 male crowd. For instance, a bunch of Brit Amy gals exiting their barracks to go jogging and they're all wearing super short shorts with their ass cheeks hanging out. I seriously doubt those are standard issue.

    If they are, I'm going to join the Brit Royal Army.
    Pretending to listen is a man's version of faking an orgasm.

    WHA!?!?! I'm 30. Quite frankly, for a hetero-sexual man of any age, that should be chub inducing, if only slightly.

    I meant to say that the scenes are for the 18-25 crowd. Maybe 18-35.

    Ever since God created the internet, T&A on TV doesn't, uh, alter my blood flow, ifyanowutimean.

    Some of the more gratuitous boobs and butts just come across as excuses to show boobs and butts, and detract from the otherwise seriousness of the show.

    Just a minor nit. I can live with it.

    It is a Skine-max show.....I think they have T&A quota to fill....but outside of that the show is pretty solid...

    Being a hard MA show they can do stuff network can't, which is pretty good in that sense too...

    Far sillier was the ep4 shot Scott took....thats much too Hollywood compare to most of the rest of the show...

    I'm beginning to notice the actor playing Michael Stonebridge puts int a lot more realistic maneuvers compared to Damien. Subtle details, but so good.

    For as much trouble as they get themselves into, they need to start packing bigger firepower, lol.

    Annoyingly Dish or Cinemax, not sure which has mislabeled episodes? I have Ep. 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 14 recorded in that order. It appears that Ep. 11, 1t8 and 19 are same thing.

    Reading a little background on these guys... The actor who plays Stonebridge is an American from Montana in real life (though his mother is English and he studied in London after HS). The guy who plays Scott is an Aussie.

    Both of their accents are bang-on. At least Scott's is. Philip Worthington sounds convincing to my American ears, if a little upper class for an enlisted Royal Marine.

    This show has great actors. The boss from season one is Rick from the Walking Dead. I didn't even know he was British until I saw Season 1 of Strikeback. lol

    oh and the line from this episode, "Who's your boyfriend? He's British, not gay."

    "Its an easy mistake to make" or something like that..

    Its funny watching some interview with Philip Winchester, he sometimes interview in character with the fake accent...I read an article last year that they say he doesn't even shut down sometimes when he goes home to US...

    Also definitely agree with a previous comment, Stonebridge does seem much more detail oriented in his movement. This last ep too, at the airport with the Israeli assassin garbage man, he returned fire with one hand since he has no body armor and presenting only his profile view, and he put his weak hand at his chest to stablize the stance, something rather common with competition shooter in IPSC/USPSA style pistol competition..

    That is a bunch of BS.

    And for the tacticool love for Stonebridge did anyone notice they had him shooting at the wrong side of the car at the end?

    She is definitely nice to look at but she is no Colonel Grant.

    It looks like this season was geared towards increasing female viewership
