If you like 80's action movies, or any action movies, you should be watching Strike Back. In fact, it's better than most of those movies. Only problem is it's a Cinemax show, so it's not easy to get. Either have to torrent it, or buy the DVDs.

Maureen Ryan, a TV critic, has a pretty apt blurb about it:

"Strike Back," Cinemax: This meat-and-potatoes action hour was far more intelligent than it needed to be, given how much attractive flesh was on display and how many explosions blowed stuff up real good. "Strike Back" is a well-shot, well-acted look at the sacrifices made in the name of post-9/11 security; it's an intelligent bit of escapism with a surprisingly solid cast. More, please.

yeah, wife and I have watched strike back from the beginning (me, cause it's blowing [expletive] up....her, because the guys are good looking. but it's about the only show we'll watch together)

It's too bad they're ending it after this season.

Anyone watch Tyrant? I just bought the season based on the premise. Have not watched yet, was a purchase for the end of the baseball season.

Same deal for Banshee. Also Cinemax. Super fun, great action, totally bonkers.

Survivor's Remorse might be good. Pilot was promising, if a little pilotly heavy handed.

Does anyone watch Sleepy Hollow?

Yeah. Its good if you can ignore the absurdity of it all.

The huge giant mountain of absurdity.

Hitchcock hour episode "The Final Performance" really creeped me out. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0394042/
