Strike Back on Skinemax?

[Cylinder Head]

Does anyone else love this show? I picked it up after the first season ended. It's basically gun porn and soft porn combined in one hour. Good production values, very good gun handling and tactics, lots of brass flying everywhere.

Never seen it, but it sounds good! Is it better than Nude Nuns with Big Guns? (<--- that's on Netflix, btw)

Dare I say it is better than NNWBG (which I did, in fact, watch).

Well that's good to hear. I couldn't get through NNWBG.

Can't blame you. I threw it on during "bad movie night" with friends.

Strike Back is one of the very best on TV if you like a lot of gun action, cussin and screwing with appropriate amount of nudity. Not so much for the kids but is just fine for us more mature folks. You will NOT be disappointed unless you are a real prude.

I do not believe so. Really wish it was for when I travel. Strike Back and Banshee make Cinemax worth it.

I'm resurrecting this months old thread as I just finished Season 1 (or rather Series 1 as the Brits would say) and really enjoyed it ... looking forward to starting Season 2 (which would be the first season shown in the US on Cinemax). Season 1 aired on the British "Sky 1" network. Some people get confused by the series numbering because they also call Season 2 "Season 1" because it's the first one they showed on Cinemax.

Only little thing that bugs me is how Porter's character was kicked out of the service after the "botched" mission ... I didn't think he would have been held responsible for the deaths of his team members and discharged over it ... fog of war and all that (and for those that know how all that turns out, no spoilers for the others please).

Just keep in mind that if you buy the first series on disk you will have to have a multi-region or region free dvd player or it won't work (its encoded Region 2 and we live in Region 1). Or you could just search the dark crevices of the interwebs and download them from there (the ones I found are real nice 720p .mkv files ... only downsides are that the files weigh in at about 2.25GB per episode and I had to remux them because they had DTS audio, which is pretty awesome but my Plex server couldn't transcode them to play via my Roku devices ... so I changed the audio codec to AAC and they worked fine).
