Alan Sepinwall Uproxx 01/31/2018
Based on the six episodes Cinemax sent out for review in advance of Friday night's premiere, it's in many ways the Strike Back fans knew and loved the first time out. Go to Full Review David Butcher Radio Times 03/01/2019
The actors bark lines like "Solid copy on that!" and "Take the shot!" while Trevor Eve turns up at the end with an American accent, which can only add to the fun. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 03/01/2019
2/5
It's odd how murder, terrorism, murky geopolitics and the arms trade are considered the ideal ingredients for glossy international entertainment co-productions, but that's where we're at. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 02/05/2018
Though hiccups and growing pains are evident on the screen, the series still knows how to deliver terrific action sequences and that should be enough to keep longtime fans around as this latest iteration figures itself out. Go to Full Review Kaitlin Thomas TV Guide 02/02/2018
The serialized narrative, which breaks up the action into smaller missions within a larger story, is a return to form for HBO-owned Cinemax. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/02/2021 Come on this was very bad See more 02/20/2020 This is the show for you if you like supergirl or the flash. If your expecting more of seasons 1-4 your going to be disappointed, guys aren't a patch on stonebridge and scott, while the women take out hardened terrorists and supremacists without breaking a nail! Looking forward to next season where a team of 4 women take out the north Korean army with handguns and capture kim Jong un! Seriously, if your a fan of the first seasons skip this and watch seal team and seal team six See more 05/30/2019 This is not the show it once was at all. The new cast pales in comparison to the original cast. The villains are laughable, they go out of their way to insert feminist agenda scenes and make all men seem like toxic dummies. Its just sad. See more 05/01/2019 What in the hell ... the men are all portrayed as useless hacks and the ladies save the day everyday. Doesn't reflect real operators, in the least, just see the pass rate for operatives in females. And frankly, you're going to upset your fan base that might watch this kind of television to get away from the SJW world. See more kyal b @ky4lB 03/07/2019 While it takes an episode or two to get going, and Reynolds is a weak link, the rest of the series settles into a great groove giving us some great new characters and numerous memorable action sequences. See more 10/24/2018 Wyatt and Mac try so hard to be stonebridge and scott, and while they're decent enough actors, its just not the same. Stonebridge and Scott's chemistry took the show to another , beyond the action and adrenaline. Also, the mission never seemed to have a focus like prior seasons. But to be honest, season finales hasn't always been this shows strong suit. Plenty of room to grow, but I do wish they brought back the old to join the new permanently to bring more personality to the show See more Read all reviews
