Strike Back

It's like someone wrote a parody of big dumb action movies, then someone else shot the script word for word without realizing it was a parody

Phenomenal action TV Series. I like Banshee a lot that's why I researched and found. It's worth watching. True gems are sometimes hidden and aren't popular.

75 For the first season only

S1 (UK): 63 - S2-5 (Cinemax): 76 - If you ever lamented the loss of 80s-90s action films with their fun and likable protagonists and lines, basic yet efficient plots, unrealistic yet adrenaline pumping gunfights, Strike Back (Cinemax) is what you were looking for! Not an easy task: could have easily turned out as a bore (UK S1) or a parody. With lots of sex scenes to boot. Compared to Banshee, action choregraphy is not as varied. And the sex scenes are less stimulating. But the plot makes sense.

A bad story coupled with some of the worst savior-complex I have ever seen.

One character is pretty much James Bond, the other is pretty much an 80s American action hero, together they team up and go on action movie adventures. It can be entertaining, though I did drift away from it before the end. Plenty of nudity, which doesn't hurt.

You know how "Walking Dead" is basically a super long zombie movie? This show is a super long Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. It's got surprisingly good action choreography and it does the "invincible protagonist" thing very well. I'm surprised this show isn't more well-known. It's solid if you like action movies.
