TV show description:
An action and military TV series, this show focuses mainly on Michael Stonebridge and Damien Scott; two members of a top-secret intelligence agency known as Section 20.
A clear-thinking and reliable soldier, British Sergeant Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) brings strategic clout to Section 20. He and his wife Kerry are the picture of a perfect couple, but there’s more going on in his family life than meets the eye.
Damien Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) is a former Delta Force commando who was discharged on the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. His confidence with a weapon is matched only by his way with women. While his cocky style is often at odds with his more staid colleagues, he always gets the job done.
Captain Kate Marshall (Eva Birthistle) is a highly educated, highly trained, highly attuned military intelligence analyst. She’s no desk jockey though and is actually one of Section 20’s most skilled and experienced undercover operatives.
Colonel Eleanor Grant (Amanda Mealing) is the no-nonsense commander of Section 20, an elite military black ops unit within the British government that focuses on high-risk, top-priority targets. She’s clear, authoritative and smart as hell.
Captain Oliver Sinclair (Rhashan Stone) is Section 20’s chief intelligence officer, responsible for the logistics and management of the entire team and the high-tech mobile unit known as the crib. In all day-to-day operations, he is Colonel Grant’s right-hand man.
Sergeant Julia Richmond (Michelle Lukes) is Section 20’s chief communications officer, responsible for maintaining contact with agents in the field and all other relevant transmissions. She is exceptionally bright, technologically adept and proficient in several languages.
Episode #76
After receiving shocking intel from an unlikely Russian informant, S20 decides to reunite for one final mission to track down Arianna (Ivana Milicevic) and avenge their comrades. This time, however, they’re doing things a little differently.
First aired: April 17, 2020.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Strike Back TV series? Do you think it should have been renewed for a ninth season?
THS SUX awesome show ! BRING it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love this show. Action.. Adventure.. Humor.. Strong sense of Right & Wrong
Will really miss this show. BIG mistake canceling it. Huge!!
This is by far one of the BEST TV shows ever. PLEASE keep it going.
simple…..BRING IT BACK!!!!!
finaly a show with actual thought process behind the writing. someone was paying attention to some of the details. Actually looked like they know the tools and how to handle them like operators. Not that I’d know, but compared to other shows, thumbs up to the training. Again, it’s in the details. I think it set the show a step above the rest. Very rare these days. Bring it back!
100% My sentiments exactly!
Hate to see Strike Back go and can’t wait for final season. This, in my estimation, is the best action series on television. Both brilliant and clever writing, imaginative story lines based in timely and relevant factual scenarios, exciting characters- both protagonists and villians, excellent acting and character portrayal, cinematic excellence and superior scene locations. If action is your thing, this show should be at the top of your list. I hope this show comes back in some configuration with these same two lead actors/characters.
As a former operative, it’s so great to watch Strike Back. You can see that the cast has had training in weapons handling, that firearms actually do run out of bullets as well as having malfunctions, among other things. We sincerely hope that it gets renewed.
This is one of the best and well written/acted series I have ever seen and am very sorry the executives in charge can’t see the favorable spot it holds in the hearts of this series’ fans.
Renew… Love action, suspense show like this.
Renew please
One of my favorite… Love the season 1, always wishing that John Porter must be alive somewhere… Oh please do renew
Renew, renew – one of the best action series – please renew
yes renew love this show don’t cancel it
Definitely Renew! I always looked forward to the next show in the series!
One of the best aired TV shows! Please renew!
Please renew.
Will be dropping Cinemax when season 5 is over
