Strikeback Retribution (SBR) will be forever the TV series that fans revolting from this lame storyline. If you were trying to kill the memory of Philip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton then SBR is the show for you. There is absolutely no budget for this series. Nina Sosanya bad acting to the zero chemistry of the entire team. I found myself rooting for the bad guy. This eps is nothing more than a 1990s BBC action TV series. The only reason why it gets a rating of 4 is the moments of Sergeant Samuel Wyatt kicking some ass. The number one line for Nina is "Jane Lowry."

it just gets worse

Don't bother watching if you're a guy. They've turned this whole show into a female-empowerment, misandrist agenda.
The 2 male characters often get sidelined so you can watch the 2 female characters kick a&s. The main villain is female too.
it feels like a show about stuff guys usually enjoy watching, but with characters to make women happy.
The realism is shot to hell too - infinite bullet guns, can't hit the wide side of a barn villains. hand-to-hand combat when you should just shoot someone.5 ft tall women taking on 6ft burly guys in hand-to-hand (I'm talking punches and stuff - not dodges and better skills).
pass. i'll just enjoy the first 5 seasons

Slow episode to drag the plot along

Not very much happens in this episode. The guys go under cover, and it doesn't go well. It's pretty cookie cutter writing throughout, and the same lazy acting and character interaction. You need to watch this episode to understand the next one, though, as a new character is introduced. This one is probably the most boring of the 8 I have seen.
