Chris Ryans Strike Back.

[DTS]

I am a bit late with this as I only watched it this morning having had it on series link for a while.

Anyone else seen it? Theres not many things that have me gripped on TV but really enjoyed Strike Back.

Its a spy/military drama a bit far fetched in places but generally a great watch.

Sadly missed the first two but enjoted the last four a lot.

I enjoyed it, yeah was a bit far-fetched, and there were times when John Porter somehow managed to avoid getting shot despite about 20+ taliban/whatever shooting at him in the open.

But TV heros never get shot, they have at least 6 episodes to get through. Come on chaps, half a dozen of these bad boys in the real world and Chadded and his mates would be out of work by July.

Isn't this 24 with no budget?

And no bloody cheesy American actors either.

I'm a big fan of Chris Ryan. Ok they're not classics but they are nice easy reads full of action.

I enjoyed the 6 episodes but i did feel there wasn't really much of a link between the 3 double episodes and they could have just been separate two hour things. Still like the books, easy watching and full of action.

sky1, i'm sure i can find it somewhere online then....anyone else that has read his books get shocked at how in pretty much every one, he turns in to a porn author for a scene?!

I doubt Strikeback could match 24 tonight!
