Green Beret Reacts to Strike Back | Viewer Discretion Advised (Seriously)

[@FNGACADEMY]

Hey guys my new book Better Broken is now available for pre-sale, drops Jan 9! Thanks for the support!! www.amazon.com/Better-Broken-Hidden-Advantage-Challenging/dp/1637743866/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QSO9YSJU5TUR&keywords=better+broken&qid=1702249582&sprefix=%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-1

[@Razgriz218]

When it becomes available in the Netherlands I'm gonna order it! Can't wait. Maybe they should have called this show ''Strike FROM the back'' 😉🤣🤣🤣

[@CAARaeed]

This show is great, honestly. It gets better and more insane with every season. It's 100% a guilty pleasure with lots of gun fights, hand to hand fight scenes and tons of sex. It's Spartacus set in modern times, and basically expressly designed as for dudes to vicariously live out the ultimate male fantasy, The CAG dude fucks a LOT of hot chicks. He's basically James Bond if it wasn't PG-13

[@chaiwarrior11]

This is a great concept, will check it out. Cheers. If it is as good as it looks, will recommend it to a few from the battalion. S/F

[@chaiwarrior11]

Preordered on Audible, as I am a Marine vet, reading is hard. Crayons good.

[@alexandrucezarleahu574]

When translated in Romanian language.

[@toddtangen6750]

Strike Back is a great show! Well...the first 3 or 4 seasons are. The last couple of seasons are pozzed out. But, the first few seasons are awesome.

[@Chubby_T0511]

Agreed. It went to complete shit when Scott and Stonbridge left.

[@FlankerJackChannel]

I never liked the changing casting it was always the same formula.

[@DopeSauceBenevolence]

I’ve always thought Rhona was hot ever since invisible man, but the whole storyline of the guys starting the international terrorist union was so poorly done IMO.

[@dilligaff1979]

Yeah the first few episodes was bad then it got better with time. Seasons 2-4 was when it was at it's best IMPO. Totally agree with @Chubb_T0511 that the show went to complete shit when Scott and Stonebridge left.

[@eventingcrazy]

@@Chubby_T0511 Except from when they made a cameo in the next series. I cheered for that reveal.

[@bujinfremont]

Oh, you guys took my request about Strike back!!!!!! Much love to you guys!!!

[@FNGACADEMY]

you bet!

[@erickiyoshiphillips2323]

Lol the soft corn scenes are always awkward. End up just looking at ur phone or something haha

[@FNGACADEMY]

its the worst... Game of Thrones was terrible lol but great show

[@memphisosarforedeemer2693]

The Strike back show from season 1 to 5 was dope with Scott and Stonebridge 🔥🔥🔥

[@Aussiemachinist07]

Keep watching guys, there are some great gun battles in later episodes, and less games of hide the sausage.

[@obama-kun8813]

Agreed!

[@graybeard3291]

There was a series around the same time as stike back called ultimate force which was basically an SAS drama think a couple of episodes are on youtube

[@FNGACADEMY]

ill check it out

[@andrewkerr9676]

I loved Abel’s face during the first rigorous scene, his face lit up 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mreevesxd]

I loved this show, I know it was the best realism as a whole but it was well written and fun to watch up until the last couple seasons. Plus the intro song was awesome. I can't wait to hear Sean tear this show to shreds.

[@IntergalacticFool]

The heavy - short change hero

[@roundrock63]

Abel explaining that scene sounded like my Dad explaining something like that when I was 11 😅

[@andrewmacdonald8076]

Great show. Did you ever watch Who Dares Wins, from 1980 i think, a british film about the iranian embassy hostage rescue by the sas?

[@TheNewSchoolGamer]

In it's defence, the show does get progressively better over time

[@dokwon20]

Season 1 of Strike Back could be better. When it gets to seasons two up to four, it is pretty good for action and just a good action show with many tactics in it. These two guys made this series really good; it is a shame that they moved on and added more people, making it ridiculous afterwards.

[@juliomartinez2205]

When Buck said. Ya, this is the good sence 👀. That killed lol. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@WordToMomsYo]

"I JUST WROTE A BOOK.." 🤣 Love the transition...

[@marekvonka8771]

I always considered only the first two seasons ( those with Porter) to be the best. Those were pretty sober and believable. After his murder it kind of slid into being too "cool" with Scott and Stonebridge. But S3 and S4 were still very good.

[@mitchpietryga5941]

I would like to see you guys do Heartbreak ridge with Clint Eastwood. I’d love to see you guys breakdown gunny highway.

[@carlo6670]

Can you do a breakdown of Enemy at the Gates next?

[@FNGACADEMY]

added to the list!

[@taylormerle4610]

You guys should check out Rogue Heroes!! About the founding members of the SAS

[@gavinchia5841]

Never got down to watching this series. I will now haha I think some of the later series was filmed near my house. One of my neighbors did the pyro work for an episode or 2.

[@Lame_Duck]

My favourite moment of the series (don't remember wich season) was when they showed how life in the baracks is: The squaddies (soldiers) wearing fake DPM-Uniforms (you could see from far away that they had some cinese low cost crap. I guess the surplus stuff was to expensive) and the female model-chick-squaddies doing PT .

[@PatrioticQuadriplegic]

Hunter killer from Netflix would be a sweet review.

[@FNGACADEMY]

will do!

[@OGDamnnation]

"The Iron Triangle"

[@marcoosvald8429]

I've got it on my Amazon account

[@hannovermeulen3126]

Yes awesome show, just the last few seasons got a bit dragged out.

[@BadNewsYouNeedToKnow]

STRIKEBACK is AWESOME! One of my favorite shows ever!

[@CedJMack]

Strike back is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 gotta start with when the series opens with Stonebridge and Michael

[@kenstroede1742]

For some reason the way Buck sits reminds of a crippled dude in a wheelchair

[@chrisnihart]

What series is next, Spartacus?

[@lucion511]

Fantastic show. The show gets significantly better on Season 3 and Season 4. Sadly the 2 main characters were replaced on Season 5 - 7

[@eldogg4life]

I watched this and Banshee within months of eachother. I enjoyed them both. 😊

[@jfraser820]

One of the favourite shows of all time 🙌🏿👏🏿

[@chrisnihart]

I got the impression it was of British production, can't remember if it was stars or Cinemax eleven years ago. But yeah, spicy. First season was very entertaining.

[@ronanthony8477]

Green Berets -John Wayne

[@mohamedali9495]

The American guy had information that the Brits wanted. One of the guys that got killed was his friend a long time ago.

[@nervonabliss]

Spin back

[@rustycave6612]

Try SAS Rogue Heroes

[@anirudhbishoyi8263]

You guys should do 'the killer' 2023

[@LeDiamondDog]

He said Glory to hispan This man is saying the terms He’s taking risk 😂

[@rollingstone70]

You need to review the Movie - THE FINAL OPTION from the 1980’s. - SAS terrorist movie

[@jonpate100]

Soft Core aside Its worth a watch Combat a Plenty [HO-AH]🔥🐲9th

[@rangerwolfhound]

Loved and worked In Asia -- the sex thing is absolutely on point. Lazy boys are mainly Thailand not Indonesia…when I wasn’t working …absolutely lived like Scott ….opium whisky and lady’s to take care of house

[@armandbroxton1879]

Here to tell you there's plenty more porn in it lol

[@IronMikeDyson1979]

The good thing about Strike Back is that it is Anti- Lady boy😊

[@Skoora]

It’s kind of like GOT where they started with a lot of nudity and sex and after season 1 there was hardly any.

[@generalismoGrosMichel]

FAUDA please review

[@workaholick]

Why does he keep bringing up "ladyboys", like more then once?......

[@AbelHernandezguitar]

Exactly!

[@Reflectionmaterial]

The eye sees what the heart if full of

[@masseffect44]

Idiocracy 2 movie should be a military special and elite units specializing in lost and found

[@NeroontheGoon]

Awesome show, started first season in 2010 or 2011. It almost has a cult following!

[@FNGACADEMY]

really?! looking forward to more episodes

[@bujinfremont]

The later episodes with Scott and Stonebridge is awesome!!! Give the show a chance guys!!!

[@BigOunce1233]

Damien is hilarious. I love the love/hate relationship between him and Michael

[@gavinfreenone6626]

"There was a woman in the stack..." had me dead

[@IntergalacticFool]

“What’s wrong with that?!”

[@NiNi-et1dd]

As a woman, this made me laugh 😂

[@jhoot3482]

Great show. The first episode or two is the typical awkward development of characters. As it goes along the two leads do pair well as characters, supporting characters are overall great. Tactics and weapons handling are good for the time it was filmed, mid to late 2000s.

[@TBendez]

2010 and on. Yes, less time has passed than what you thought 🤣.

[@stuartgebbie5639]

Glad they finally got round to doing this show. I hope they watch more of it especially with the bigger gunfights that come later on. Also from what i understand from interviews i have watched (including with US guys who worked with the SAS and SBS) they used to run lights instead of night vision especially in the 90s and early 2000s, given that the advisors are ex UKSF guys that might be why they did that in the show.

[@sjeb1967]

Then theres a woman in the stack got me sorry 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@d1inonly]

"Boy banging..Alley fighting..." 😅😂😂

[@thegreenjackal]

It’s been awhile since I watched it but Scott was recruited for two very specific reasons. John Porter (guy in the video) and Scott had worked extensively, developing the code Porter used with only three people having working knowledge of it. The other is the villain worked with them back in the day but only they had any idea of what he looked like, so, he’d wound but being key to it. I know you probably know this, but I watched this show way too many times to not share. Also, John Porter has his own season, which was effectively the very first season of the whole strike back series. It had Andrew Lincoln as the CO and was pretty good. I recommend it purely for a single scene in the first episode where Porter has to get creative with weapon concealment, which always makes me chuckle.

[@WarKing77]

My favourite series of all time! Loved the Brit original with Armitage and Lincoln, and really loved the four seasons with Stapleton and Winchester!

[@brianng3700]

Well this show was co-produced by Cinemax which explains a lot. It gets a lot better in season 2 when they reboot the whole thing with a new cast. And the CAG guy is played by an Australian actor which was surprising but he does a good job

[@jazdragen]

The funniest thing is they have the half- American guy using an English accent and the Australian guy trying to be American

[@bomorris5050]

While I love the Seal Team watch videos... and I'd love to see you just do every single episode... I also know that would get boring. However, I would like to see you guys do like an episode or 2 from each season as the show progresses and tackles new problems with PTSD/PTSS, TBI, CTE, and the struggles we dealt with in terms of our bodies, our families, relationships, etc.

[@rosshixon6796]

Buck said "that's the front of her back"!! That one choked me! 😂

[@CAGUY21]

This was a Friday night Skin-A-Max action show which is the reason for at least 1 sex scene per episode. Funny it's that the American actor posed as a Brit & the Australian actor posed as an American. Great show though.

[@jazdragen]

love this show but expecting sean to give it a complete roasting at every level of plausibility

[@Leemccuaig]

Ronin (1998)

[@beararms3703]

The actress is a woman. Her name is Jennifer Tanares. She was born with a vagina. I hope this clears up your confusion, and I hope that Mr. Rogers will some day be able to embrace his sexuality and be comfortable speaking about his desire for the love of an honorable Thai ladyboy. Dude, be yourself. You are loved.

[@Jesus.X]

The gratuitous soft core porn in strike back did cheapen the show.

[@FNGACADEMY]

it always does.. not sure why people think we want that

[@washburn5552]

This was awesome, former Army Ranger, US Border Patrol Agent and retired as a Federal Air Marshal..Love this review I really like Strike Back and agree the porn(y) stuff is out of place and takes away from a good action show...Keep up the good work..RLTW Sua Sponte

[@0megaJB]

Strike Back was a fun series as long as you forget how unrealistic it is. I have to agree on the sex scenes, I'm no prude but it's a show I wouldn't want to watch it with my high school age son.

[@animula6908]

This proves what I already learned by growing up with my daddy, a vet: that being tactically unrealistic doesn’t necessarily ruin the show. Unless you watch it with a vet. 😂

[@Fishbag61]

You guys kill me! I'm dying here! 😂 I loved this show...But I have zero experience with anything military and yet would say to myself at times..."Oh hell no...they don't it like that!" But it absolutely was a fun show to watch! Love what you guys do!

[@pogo1140]

I think Strike Season 2 and later was a Showtime production. Season 1 was with Richard Armitage, the guy who was killed.

[@vippsmillennial6336]

The first thing I searched after listening was ‘Strike Back s*x scene’!😂

[@dsumner1234]

I still want to see you guys do some older movies, namely The Wild Geese, Dogs of War, and The Final Option. The show was on Showtime, so that explains the sex scenes, as a lot of their shows had a lot of nudity and sex. IIRC it was primarily filmed in South Africa. As a side note the actor playing the Brit is an American, and the Ex CAG guy is an Aussie actor.

[@FNGACADEMY]

added to the list thank you!

[@butterrowe8777]

Watch Danger Close about the Australians in Vietnam great movie!

[@icecubesbrother]

You should watch "the Brave", good show!

[@FNGACADEMY]

will do

[@gamingnostalgia3716]

Uncommon Valor is also dope, but from the 80's, so probably not remotely accurate.

[@chuckysmith5255]

Strike back was a great show scot and stonebridge were a great on screen duo. The first season was based of a book but not sure if it took from real life events.(spoiler!) Also scot was kicked out of delta for being framed I think

[@CoffeeFiend1]

I'm quite glad they start on "Season 2" as the show basically has eras. Season 2-5 was a reboot of season 1 and shares almost no resemblance to it beyond a few references to Porter throughout and a very short scene at the start. Then season 6 reboots it again with a new team. Most people regard Scott and Stonebridge as proper Strike Back. It was always quite silly but it was a weird blend of being 50/50 silly and probably the most accurate SF portrayal on tv at the time but it was inconsistent and would slide between the two... It would be utter realism then quackery, then back to realism, then gooftastical.

[@timmooney7528]

The prequel series to this show is normally listed as Strike Back Origins. It is a pre-Cinemax Sky only production featuring Richard Armitage (the guy being executed in the beginning.) He was the main character in the first season, and before a second season was discussed, he was already working on the Hobbit films. He only appears in the first episode for continuity to the Sky-only series.

[@josephmurrell-zw9oo]

you guys should watch more of Strike Back, the relationship between Damian and Michael is an interesting dynamic given the differences between them

[@briantayco6414]

It is an awesome show. Thank you for reviewing it.

[@Artorion]

This is damn great brilliant show you are going to love the shit out of it trust me, this show represents soldier's beautifully, enjoy my friend's!

[@Hav0ck23]

The show its from early 2000. The Special ops were still a taboo subject to the masses

[@dmichael7144]

Curious what you think about the movie “6 Days”, the one about the Iranian Embassy Siege!

[@chazbox1987]

Next do 6 days (2017) love the show. Cheers 🍻 👍.

[@shadowwolf5150]

check out 6 Days. its the story of the SAS Iranian Embassasy rescue.

[@slayedartifact0999]

Fun fact: Strike Back is a Cinemax show 😂

[@thevikinghatgm235]

The Beast (2020, Italy) is a "war veteran has daughter kidnapped movie", and is pretty solid. And on the crime movies one where the criminals use some military tactics, there's The Crew (2015, France), which has as basically a tv series sequel (same lead guy, same premise) Ganglands (2021-, France). But, you know, turn the subtitles on guys.

[@mbpaintballa]

I would of liked to see your opinion on the first season, when John Porter was introduced. And after the scene where he's decoding the message, he explains that it's a code him and Porter made together when they worked together.

[@austinporter4285]

Lol keep doing strike back episodes because its a good show and abel loves it! 😂

[@thewolfchild]

Hey, I know it's been months and months, and there's a bunch of comments, but... (just an fyi) this is the beginning of the 2nd season. The first season, consisting of 6 episodes, was quite different. It starred Richard Armitage (who was the prisoner killed in the video), he had to leave after the 1st season do to his commitment to The Hobbit trilogy (he starred as Thorin). They made many changes on and off screen between s01 and s02, but continued the premise of a British Intelligence (MI6) unit called Section 20, recruiting an UKSF soldier to be the boots on the ground guy, only now, instead of a lone former SAS guy, they now have an active SBS guy, partnered with a former Delta guy to help draw in American audiences (though the American is actually played quite convincingly by an Australian actor). Also, a pair of females were added, a UKSF NCO and a DEA agent, along with various officers/COs, who join in quite a bit. It ran for 4 seasons with these guys, tentatively ending after s05. Then two years later it was revived with a new cast, two main guys, an SAS operator and a Delta operator, but also a female operator from Australia's SASR and they're led by a UKSF Recon Regt. captain, another female, leading the team of four, until the next season when they added another guy, a UKSF colonel, who was then in charge. It ran three more seasons for a total of 8, before finally wrapping up. There is sometimes talk of it coming back again, either with more seasons or a feature film, but nothing official yet. Annnd that's about it...

[@rageagaintstheNWO]

Ex CAG guy was discharged from Delta Force because he stumbled into some conspiracy crap while he was in Iraq, asked too many questions. You know, the whole WMD thing. Watch the show and pay attention to the story to not ask stupid questions. Also, there are many scenes in season one when bad guys just running around corners getting dropped and you can see a pile of corpse forming in one spot lmao, if you want to cringe and roll your eyes until it rolls back in to your skulls, watch the real first season, with Richard Armitage and Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)

[@danielvillarreal6610]

If my Reptilian Brain recalls correctly, the Delta Force vet had been railroaded out of the Army and hence he was in Thailand trying to survive. The SBS guy was ordered to find him because he and John Porter had been involved in a mission with British Special Operations forces-something like that-and since Porter had been KIA, the American had some pieces of intel that the British needed. The Commander sent the SBS guy to find him and bring him in.

[@tsuhobbs]

Do more Strike back!!!! The last two or three seasons were not as porny. Scott and Stonebridge were GOATS though.

[@chaiwarrior11]

Cinemax took this show from GB and...stayed Cinemax with it lol. Yeah, awkward scenes, and they last like 30 seconds longer than even scenes like that need to, like an awkward stare x 10. Still, a fun show, especially when you get deeper into season 1 and into season 2. Look for the scenes in Chechnya (clever LB there) and don't sleep on Sgt Richmond, Michelle Lukes is like woah. S/F

[@DopeSauceBenevolence]

I’m interested to see what y’all say about HOW MUCH TALKING these guys do downrange. They talk so fucking much.

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

My wife and I were addicted to Strike Back (back when there about 5 shows on TV) and she liked to call it "Fucking and Fighting". I need to catch up because I know there's some seasons I haven't seen yet. I remember when Stonebridge took a 7.62 round to the kneecap and was back in the next episode. In any other universe, that would be a career-ender. It's not the most realistic but still enjoyable.

[@braxtonmoore9246]

I watched this years ago. Finished it. Man they survive some wild shit lol. But I remember there being some plot twist for why they chose him like halfway thru the series.

[@tatuauvinen3300]

You should definitely watch the original Strike Back from 2010. Far better than the following seasons.

[@Skoora]

There’s a lot to be said for a sly look as a shirt starts coming off or the first kiss and a fade to black to when they’re done. The only people who are going to possibly like the soft porn are people watching solo. Lol..Even when I watched it by myself as my Wife isn’t really a military show fan I found it over the top but it was Cinemax and that was there brand. It’s why they were called Skinemax. They did it with Banshee as well. Kick ass show with awkwardly explicit sex and nudity…even with the amazing peach that Lili was slingin’…😊

[@massdriverone7583]

Y'all should check out Atomic Blonde for a pretty cool cold war spy movie with ppl that are 100% NOT superheroes they get the shit kicked out of each other As for the lewd fight scenes.. check out Shoot Em Up lmao absolutely solid tactics
