Chris Ryans Strike Back

Only just started watching this.
However i'm finding it's an absolute piss poor program.
I've started watching it now tho so i'm going to watch the next couple episodes
Everything the main character does, seems to pay off, like 5 cheesy action films rolled into a series.

God man, it's brilliant.

For the exact reasons you describe

Yeah I gave up on it. Some come down from Spooks!

Spooks...

Are you watching the original one or the newish one with a cut rate Jason Statham lookalike in it?

I quite enjoyed the original in a fairly mindless way, but the second one looked awful (Didn't bother to watch it after seeing the trailers! )

I watched the original yes. Instead of being a spec ops soldier he should of just put the euromillions on, luckiest person alive
I'd say it's possibly worth a watch just for the action, i'd rate it 6/10 and would never watch it again

Yeah, 6/10 seems about right - Try the second one (Strike Back : Dead Pidgeon or something like that...)

I can't remember what I thought of the first series beyond it being good enough to watch the second... which was truly dire. I'm sure they even realised it was st as they added a good measure of soft porn in to every episode from about 4 in IIRC.

I saw Project Dawn first, which I enjoyed. Watched the first one which was on Sky a few weeks ago and thought it wasn't as good.
