I love this series!!! Watched the whole thing super fast!

Mark Wahlberg who starred in the movie Shooter and evidently got entranced in the sniper culture is the producer. It includes the input of Stephen Hunter who authored the book Point of Impact that all this is based on. Every show has glitches but this one has fewer than most. Good story and the new season has just begun so watching the first season episodes is a treat. Like the past series, The Unit, it combines the story of the operator with family and while I tire easily of "family at risk" plots they do it pretty realistically here. Next up is Six, which is also available at Best Buy and based on DEVGRU, or SEAL Team Six, which really, doesn't exist...

Ryan Phillippe stars as Bob Lee Swagger, a highly-decorated veteran coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president. When Swagger's former commanding officer, Isaac Johnson (Omar Epps), solicits Swagger's expertise for the clandestine operation, Swagger discovers that he has been framed and must do everything in his power to protect his family and clear his name.

The plot has enough twists and turns to keep it interesting, the violence is not overly graphic and the language is not offensive. So if you like action-adventure with a fair amount of redemption and the righting of wrongs, you should enjoy Shooter. Each episode has been better than the one before and I am looking forward to the next.

Produced by Mark Wahlberg, Shooter re-tells the story of his hit movie with new sagas for hero Bob Lee Swagger. Author of the Swagger books Stephen Hunter also has some involvement so the story is fast moving, entertaining and authentic for the most part to the world of shooters.
