I started the series with this season by happenstance and before the end of the 3rd or 4th episode I think I had already went out and bought the first two seasons. You will not know some characters and be confused/intrigued as to what drove some characters like Rachael Dalton to do what she does but if you let go certain things you will catch up very quickly. Basically all you need to know is there is a British intelligence agency called Section 20 which houses a team headed up by 2 soldiers one Brit and one american who battle evil organizations, terrorists and the occasional gay mercenary. And the American on occasion loves the ladies but both know how to fight and kick butt in a rather spectacular way. I would put this season up against any of 24, La Femme Nikitia (remember that show in the day) type spy show and Strike Back wins. Plus it has the best line any villain has ever said - Holding the button of the weapon of mass destruction - I won't explain myself to you....long pause....you might understand...even longer pause....and then where would you be.

Like season 4 it is a must have for any avid fan of action.

Strike Back is one of the best action series I have ever seen. The action scenes are top notch and the acting and story are great. The series follows Michael Stonebridge and Damien Scott, two mismatch soldiers working for the British Special Forces who work to protect the world from the deadly threats facing it. The bantering between the two leads is one of the show main draws as well as the action sequences that are nothing short of jaw-dropping.

I have seen episodes on HBO and own seasons 1 and 2 and it is really an awesome series. It is full of action, the scene locations are excellent, the actors are excellent and there are never a dull moment. I was and am very impressed with the story lines, the combat scenes and the detail used in armament and life like fire fights and the quality used in making the show. Absolutely well done and I give it 5 stars because I cannot rate it higher.

I've reviewed seasons 1 & 2 already, and like those, this one is great as well. All the superlatives I gave to the first 2 seasons apply to this one as well; great action, great acting, great filming locations (like a travel brochure) and just a great, entertaining way to watch tv. I've seen all the seasons, and am now collecting each blu ray season for my collection, as they are a must-have!
