This show is a great action/adventure show. I discovered it on Cinemax a few years back and was taken by surprise how good it was. The story moves along at a pace that does'nt let you get bored. If you like shows with fast paced story lines and action this show is for you. I also own season 1 and it is awesome also. I am looking forward for season 3 to come out on blu-ray because it will be a purchase also,( Already saw season 3 on Cinemax and it was just as good if not better than seasons 1 and 2) . I highly recommend this box set and seasons 1 and 3( when it comes out). It stars Sullivan Stapleton who stars in 300 Rise of an empire, and Phillip Winchester ( sorry not familiar with anything else he's done) and the chemistry between the two is great .

I became a big fan of Strike Back during its first season & I think the second season is even better. The 2nd season features Section 20 trying to recover nuclear triggers in Africa before they fall into the wrong hands. The action scenes & locations are directed & look just as stunning as some big blockbuster movies. Without going into spoilers, Section 20 will suffer a big loss that really surprised me. Strike Back is a Cinemax show so there is no holding back on the violence, swearing, and nudity. There is also solid writing to back it up (Winchester’s Stonebridge character suffers a lot of personal loss). It's not for the easily offended. It feels like a hard R-rated action movie strecthed out over ten 50-minute episodes. Philip Winchester & Sullivan Stapleton have great chemistry as the two alpha males of the unit & Rhona Mitra (Underworld Rise of the Lycans) was a good addition to the cast. The special features only consist of cast commentaries. There are some interesting stories about some close calls during the action scenes & all the problems of shooting in some locations. I liked the commentaries but I just wished there was some behind the scenes extras in there. Oh well. With 24 gone, Strike Back has become my favorite action show.
