    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).

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
