Yes, was good. You'll probably like SEAL Team too which is currently on series 5.

My dad suggested that too me a while ago actually, I found it a bit too dramatic though. The thing I liked about The Unit was the lack of music and cinematic shots. Just good writing, acting and directing.

I enjoyed it after The Shield.

Every now and then there is a scene from a TV show that sticks with you for years after; grenades in The Shield, Omar Coming, that particular death scene from Boardwalk Empire etc.

The roll call at the funeral scene is up there with the best of them.

Was great for about 10 episodes then as usual became far too dull.

A bit like the Grant Mitchell SAS series - Fun, brains out, action, but not exactly high art.

Still, who wants art all (any) of the time? I enjoyed it. Haysbert is always a good actor to watch.
