Deadpool posted:Yes, I have. It's not very good at all. Wow. Strike Back is awesome and I really think it has some of the best production values i've ever seen in a series. It's well-shot, has great locations, action scenes, everything, it's pretty much movie-quality. Every episode is like a mini action movie. The Transporter show is completely awful though and is orders of magnitude worse than Strike Back. e: quote:Strike Back is just a re-air of a Sky1 (UK) show. Actually it's a Cinemax co-production, it airs on Cinemax first. I'm enjoying Banshee as well, it's got a fun over the top feel and moments like the fight in episode 3 in the OP are fantastically brutal. Still think the lead is a little bland but he's got menace I suppose. Also does anyone think it's a little bit dangerous for him to live in such a prominent place next to the bar without even door locks apparently?

Yeah, there have been 2 seasons on Cinemax so far, both are really good. It really starts to pick up at episodes 5 & 6 of the first Cinemax season. If you have the time and can find it, the original UK Sky 1 series of Strike Back is worth watching too, if quite a bit different from the Cinemax version.

I think the pictures in the credits are different every time, took me a while to notice that though.

qbert posted:I guess I'm in the minority but I really disliked this ep and thought it was probably the worst in the series. The phrase "over-directed" kept popping into my head throughout. Just a lot of really distracting shots and editing choices that didn't seem to have any meaning other than to draw attention to itself. The whole idea was to show the difference in reality versus fantasy for Hood and Ana. The lines between how Ana and Hood would like their lives to be, how they might have turned out, and how it is. The shots and editing aren't distracting when they are meant to be noticed, to show character and themes. I thought it was creative and an interesting diversion for the show.

Yodzilla posted:Oh it's definitely awesome in just a really dumb fun way. Strike Back probably the best pure action show I've ever seen. Definitely. Strike Back is without a doubt the best action show ever made.

I heard they were planning an action series about a group of war vets returning to their home town only to find it overrun with criminals, which they proceed to clean up. Or something. I don't know if it's still happening since there hasn't been any news about it recently.

Cocoa Ninja posted:It's called "Quarry." They finished the pilot last year and are working on the full series now, I think it's 10 episodes. I think that's something else. Quarry seems to be about a sniper returning home from Vietnam in 1973 and finding work as a hitman. The one i'm talking about was called Sandbox. Also they've got the Steven Soderbergh series coming up with Clive Owen, about a hospital in 1900 New York.

WarLocke posted:That was a loving finale, holy poo poo. No we see the entirety of the police in Banshee, 4 cops, sadly now 3. Heck of an episode, they seemed to pack a lot in.

Kegslayer posted:Same here. The ending felt like it existed only to provide plot points for the next season. Hood's daughter finds out about him, Emmett's death will force Hood to chase down the neo Nazis. Alex's death will mean his sister will come back and the Indians will still be at odds with Proctor while the Rebecca/Proctor incest creepfest really adds nothing to the finale. So, the last part of the finale set up some plot threads that will be taken up next season, how is that a problem. The bulk of the ep was the culmination of the central storyline of the show up till this point.

PaybackJack posted:I say avoid the "prequel" 6 episodes. Completely different tone and feel in my opinion, and could put you off the series. Yeah, go back and watch the British series after the Cinemax one if you want more, but just start watching the Cinemax series.

Start at the beginning of the cinemax series and watch it all. You can skip the original 6 episode British series, but feel free to watch it at any point anyway because it is a decent series but has little to do with the cinemax seasons.

Hood has definitely had some sort of extensive combat training in the past. He seems very skilled, and I feel like that's been strongly hinted at, like other characters have commented on it for example.
