Based on Chris Ryan's best-selling book, Strike Back is a compelling story of betrayal, glory, redemption and revenge played out through the interlinking lives of two former soldiers - military hero Hugh Collinson and discharged veteran John Porter. In three stand-alone narratives based in Iraq, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Pakistan the stories interweave the dramatic politics of war, with the personal demons of two very driven men. From scenes of intense combat to the confines of a brutal prison and the desert landscapes of Iraq to the lush greenery of the Zimbabwe outback, Strike Back is drama of cinematic proportions.

The Iraq war is the period in which this is set. Went on a roller coaster of emotion in parts and was left with a cliff hanger at the end. Wanted to watch the next episode straight after. Very good action/drama mini series.

Wow. Wasn't expecting a lot from this series, even though I'm a casual fan of Chris Ryan's SAS-themed novels, but I really this first installment. Enthralled from beginning to end, and really can't wait for Disc 2. Great British drama/thriller. Make sure you put both discs in your queue.

Great action and strong if not common story line. The english always do these better then the yanks.

This miniseries is shot like a movie, there's heaps of big action scenes and effects, spy drama and enough backstory to make the characters feel real. Quite apart from all this Richard Armitage is an amazingly talented actor...and not hard on the eyes! Completely recommend Strike Back.
